I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.

After trying and failing to reach them for comment, we finally heard from them. They just told us "whatever, man."

[-] Nanook@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago

Whatever… just whatever.

Gen X: you pussies should have been around in the 70's and 80's

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

We have a stronger survivorship bias than the following gens, but we also sucked on leaded gas fumes for a while when our brains were still developing.

So anyway, whatever.

Don't forget those delicious paint chips

Gen X had it's Part in Memes and grew up. Like tech savvy boomers, Generation X seems predominantly stuck in the middle tier of the career ladder, overshadowed by their Boomer parents. However, they maintain a benevolent and generous attitude toward younger generations. They are fully aware that they will likely never own property, and having children is a significant risk. This painful realization hit them some time ago, hence their sense of empathy. The later you're born, the more pain you inherit.

We will age and die in our office chairs, and our Zalpha children will burn our bodies to fuel their air conditioners. We will finally find our purpose. Don't worry about us: we are content enough.

You realise Gen Xers are all in the 40-65 age bracket now, right? Nearly all way beyond the deciding-on-children age. And heaps of them own property (at least where I live).

Or just get some more decades to marinate in hatred.

I am a middle child in the generational equivalent of a middle child.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

We are too busy getting shit done to worry about the idiots.

votes for Trump at a greater rate than any other generation

Wonders why no one wants to acknowledge them

[-] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's not the point they made. They pointed out that Gen X isn't in it, which is appropriate ~~being the silent generation~~. They were punk rock as kids, but reformed the moment they had to and didn't try to make any sort of change as a whole.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The Silent Generation is an actual generation and it was the one before Boomers and after the Greatest. Biden is a Silent Gen. Too young to kill Nazis, not part of the Boom, no one cares about Korea, they were just old enough to get the Cold War brainwashing and fuck up everything with Reaganism.

[-] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

That's my mistake. Gen X is still known for doing nothing and staying silent

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

We've been around for like sixty years now. If we were milk we would have developed culture. But we're not so we didn't.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago

Tony Hawk is the best Gen Xer, and dude's chill AF.

[-] AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Shh! We don’t want them to notice us.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago

we are "the maps without new zealand" generation
