Gen X forgotten again.
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.
The luddites destroyed machines that were stealing their jobs. Luddites are awesome
Like, you know, whatever.
Get off my lawn, we have our own shit.
A 30 year old is indistinguishable from a 60 year old?
30 year olds are Millennials. You’d have to be at least in your 40’s to be considered a Gen X kid.
Sorry, bad reading comprehension on my part. I accidentally read gen x as boomer somehow. That got me thinking who would confuse a boomer with a millennial…
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.
If the cutoff is 1997, a 4 year old is definitely old enough to remember 9/11.
As a great philosopher once said: https://tvgag.com/gag/nothing-you-say-can-upset-us/
They’re scared to harass us, well put them in a nursing home.
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

As a Xennial I feel this.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Yeah. Well. Blame the boomers for not fucking enough :D
Their parents would have been more in the silent generation. You usually skip a generation for your own line, unless you’re a teenage parent.
The boomers fucked plenty, that’s why millennials were once called echo boomers.
Came looking for this, and at least we remember each other!
Millennials think everyone older than them is a boomer. If you try to correct them, they call you a pedant.
Edit: They’re also really sensitive to being criticized.
Okay boomer.
I’m a 40 year old millennial. I don’t think 50 year olds are boomers unless they act like it.
I’m a 44 year old GenXer and I don’t think 50 year olds are boomers unless they’re time travelers.
Boomers think anyone younger than them is a millennial. If you try to correct them they call you a millennial anyway. Or a liberal.
It goes both ways, to be honest. I have seriously heard some people blame/pity millennials for stuff that gen-z do/goes through. I’m quite sure I even heard a boomer vs millennial take, that was really a millennial vs z take.
Whatever the generation, you can always count on dumb people existing.
That is so true
