You just had a social media platform named after you
On behalf of Gen X I humbly refuse.
As member of Gen X, I second the motion.
Meh, it'll blow over
Lemme sum up Gen X
Oh well whatever, nevermind
That's on y'all 😂 in practice the older of you is indistinguishable from Boomers and the younger are basically Oregon Trail Millennials like myself. Analog childhood, digital adulthood.
Here we are now, entertain us.
How now, how now, how now brown cow
That's a very good summary. I find some young gen x and older millennials to be borderline luddites as well, but generally share social values.
Like, you know, whatever.
Or they were omitted because Gen X isn't harassed by boomers most of the time, and us Millennials know that they're chill with us. And personally, I don't care what a bunch of teenagers thinks of me. Or any other generation for that matter. I only care about what the people close to me think of me.

The cutoff for Gen Z is 1997, which means there are 26 year old zoomers.
I know, I don't like it either -- 1997 was 16 years ago at most.
I like how Gen Z has the easiest litmus for qualification. If you were old enough to remember 9/11, you're not a Zoomer.
It's a lot trickier for Millennials, because everyone disagrees on when it starts, but most people agree that they grew up during a time where access to technology was just starting to take off.
I feel like gen x is split. Some have joined the boomers and become MAGA Karens, some have joined the millennial coalition with gen z.
We’re mostly just keeping ourselves to ourselves.
You guys do you.
That’s how we like it.
Was about to say i think they missed a step
I feel like Gen X has never been forgotten. Us Millennials never got an intro like you guys did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i011c5NcPsg
I’m willing to bet there’s some projection in this comic because I’ve never cared what younger generations think of me
I dont care what any age people think of me really but i still kinda relate to this comic in a way as in i think the kids will be allright.
So many people older then me seem to dunk on genz culture like its all stupid and dumb but there i am Sitting like. “I may not understand all of this and maybe some parts i recognize as unhealthy but there is some real intelligent value and original creativity here” Also all just the openness towards the exploration of identities and mental health awareness. I’ll take a tiktok skit over an anti wife boomer comic every day. I appreciate it, i cant wait to befriend some gen z on my job when they start to get to their late 20s.
The oldest of them are 25/26. The future is now!
Being friends with people younger than you is fine. Desperately craving their approval (which is what the last panel seems to imply) is not.
Sure but it is a comic and and an exaggeration.
Are you new to Sarahs scribbles? There often exaggerated but good fun.
Boomers are hated so much that millennials are deathly afraid they're gonna end up just as hated as them one day
GenX here. Have never felt more middle childish.
So fucked up they never even gave us a proper name. X was a place-holder that ended up sticking. But that happened with xrays too and those are cool
We are the "Jan" generation...
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
I think GenX often gets forgotten because you're born too late to be responsible for anything the boomers did but too early to really get fucked by it like younger generations.
Graduating uni in the GFC sucked and it'll follow many millenials for the rest of their lives.
