I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.
votes for Trump at a greater rate than any other generation
Wonders why no one wants to acknowledge them
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.
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.
That's my mistake. Gen X is still known for doing nothing and staying silent
we are "the maps without new zealand" generation
After trying and failing to reach them for comment, we finally heard from them. They just told us "whatever, man."
Whatever… just whatever.
Gen X: you pussies should have been around in the 70's and 80's
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
I didn't have the chance
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.
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).
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.
Or just get some more decades to marinate in hatred.
I am a middle child in the generational equivalent of a middle child.
GenX what's that, a new shoe coming out?
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.
Tony Hawk is the best Gen Xer, and dude's chill AF.
Shh! We don’t want them to notice us.
We are too busy getting shit done to worry about the idiots.
Aren't you dead?
