Re: I'm Gen X and I'm so sick of Gen X
Pretty fascinating how defensive some of you gen Xers are.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79576961


Gen X are the most spoiled Generation. They got everything handed to them on a silver platter. The B's gave them money, cars, houses and jobs where they didn't have to do much to excel.

Now Millenials deal with both B's and Gen X yelling at us because we are the problem.

We don't want to work for practical slave wages so some B and Gen Xer can get their third wife a new SUV and a second home in the Florida Keys.

On top of that, we are expected to train the Zoomers and Let me tell you. We should be getting paid fucking Triple our salary for dealing with your Gen X entiled little rug rats.

Im about sick and fucking tired of people shitting on Millenials. We are the workforce right now, raising kids and building a future whilst being shat on by every generation.

Re: I'm Gen X and I'm so sick of Gen X
My millennial and zoomer kids keep telling me that once these boomers are out of office/power they'll fix everything

They don't like it when I tell them GenX will likely take over for a decade or two

Lets hope that more libertarian, self-reliant streak helps undo much of the damage of the last 40 years....

Then maybe we'll pass the baton to the zoomers as they are less "woke" than the millennials..

They did give them those things though. Through zero interest housing loans and cars. Gave them jobs. It happened. They may not have directly given it to them. They made it so it was damn near free to take and then they couldn't pay for them when we hit a recession.

B's caused the economy to crash every time in the last 30 years.

It was very common in the 60's and 70's for B@@mers and their families to gather around the Brand New and Affordable Television after Family Dinner for the Nightly World News and Evening Programming. It was a huge deal.

The Gen X kids of 80's and 90's watched movies, not television programs. Blockbuster and VCRs became hugely popular and inexpensive. The rest of the time the Gen X kids were outside playing, while the B@@mer parents kept watching TV.

You think a B@@mer allowed their Gen X kid to control the TV and Remote Controller.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84013488



Gen X was raised with MTV. I know my parents had no idea what we were watching.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79576961


I'm a millennial and I wasn't allowed to watch MTV until I was 18.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82033850


I am Gen X, and we did not have MTV in our town until 1994. By that time, I was graduating and making my own memories.

Never watched MTV, as did much of the city population. Expect kids with humongous satellite dish in their front year.

Most Gen X kids were outside playing while B@@Mer parents had control of TV.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84013488


Well, I am a Millenial on the cusp of Gen X and my parents are B's. Makes sense. Also probably why I never fit in at school. Gen X kids were hard to deal with.

Really? Another generational warfare thread.

Generational divides are made up up by academia and the media gestalt. They do not really exist and the false categories created are not even an accurate reflection of the people they are suppose to represent.

After all the majority of people in the sixties were not hippies. The hippies were a very small vocal minority, but if you listen to academia and the media gestalt you would think that entire generation were hippies. They weren't, not by a long shot.

You see the same thing with Xers. Are there Xers like you describe, of course; but they are vast multitude that are not.

The tats, the drinking, the drugs, the financial woes, the bad parenting, the promiscuity, the over all trashiness.

It's like a generation that never grew up.

The question is...was it because of bad parenting, lack of opportunity, overconsumption or just wanton and pervasive immorality?

But, now, this generation is morphing towards extremism. I guess it's some kind of over-compensation or backlash for all the fuck ups they have made.

Why can't this generation find a middle ground? A steady track?

rather than being a 'generational warfare thread', it can be seen as an opportunity to make points like the one you just did...which i wholeheartedly agree with.

the generational labels, in spite of the division and vitriol caused, can be useful in getting a constructive conversation going...if we can agree they are just labels...like points on a big map.

i think it's important, in a conversation like this, to point out that not everyone of a common generation had a shared experience.

most everyone that i grew up with was a very spoiled rich kid. the main goal of students in my high school class was to go to college in southern california.

my parents never did blow or stayed out all night.

i grew up in almost the exact opposite environment from you in many ways, from the sound of it .

doesn't make anyone a "dumb motherfucking kid"

lol....i want to expand on this comment, nothing directed toward you personally.


this is how the narrative gets controlled...and it's been this way since written language came into the picture.


the bigger problem we face is the collective identity crisis and the constant need for validation. that is why people accept these labels in the first place.


you can piss in the wind arguing about when it started and who is most responsible but the template for this this started thousands of yers ago and we are just bearing the most awful fruit of it's ongoing impact.


we are labeled, then divided and negated, as a result by the class of people who creates the mechanisms for propagating the labels.

they laugh all the way to the 'bank', while we fight, scratch and claw with one another all the way to the grave.

That is why they call and see us as, "useless eaters" and "one fodder unit"...we have done very little, generally/collectively, to prove those sentiments. inaccurate.

Warren Buffet said a decade ago that this was about class warfare and that his class had won.

they win because they consistently work together to keep the rest of us divided, while we literally and figuratively trip over ourselves to make sure it stays that way.


The internet was billed as something that would set us free...but the truth is that it has closed the noose tighter than ever.

Critical thinking and discernment are not exclusive to any single generation...


I don't see how we recover this without a massive purge of all the garbage in the way.


We best be careful what we hook our egos to.
