      My only sense of generation X is, like, 90's tv commercials shouting "GEN X" and showing skateboard tricks

        Can confirm, the 40-60 crowd is infinitely worse than the 65+ crowd. At least the boomers near me generally believe COVID is actually real.

          For sure. We give Boomers a hard time but it always feels like whenever we see a vid of a supposed Boomer wilding out, it's actually a GenXer. Boomers as a generation were infinitely more dynamic, confused, and yet, relatable than GenX. GenX straight up skipped the hippie, antiwar stage and spent their entire lives being rabid anti-communist, consumerist pigs.

      a generation that branded itself in being aloof and uncaring shouldn't suddenly stop after reaching their 50s

      Gather round and listen to the wisdom of the generation that thinks "rebellion" is when your mom doesn't like your music.

    Boomers set the bar so low that not being afraid of opinions was a step up apparently?

    I'm GenX and I hate almost everyone my own age. All my friends are millennials with even a couple older GenZ folks thrown in.

    again i say to you generational analysis is a mind virus.

    but i do think it's very funny that we're going to continue calling people boomers long after the babies of the boom have died off.

      Boomer is a mindset that will exist for a long time after they've finally died off

    At the risk of bringing the argument here, yeah it's incredibly pretentious and his head is three miles up his ass. I still liked it though.
