no, we're a "baby bust" generation caught between two much larger generations. between the boomers' narcissism, larger population, and grasp on capital, we had to endure their grip on popular culture long past their prime (and 1989, the 20th anniversary of woodstock, was just awful to live through... so much self-congratulation). after that, we had about 3-5 years where pop culture paid attention to us in the 90s before britney spears and the boy bands marked the cultural ascendancy of the millennial. not long after that the media landscape completely fragmented to narrowcasting and i think some xers are salty that we won't be able to loudly congratulate ourselves to same degree the boomers did (honestly, if you want to know what the late 80s were like, imagine don henley's "boys of summer" on a human face, forever)
May honestly be a part of it, my parents constantly complain to me how dogshit commercials are nowadays (I know, right) and I frequently remind them these commercials aren't supposed to appeal to you.
Gen X are going to be (barely) remembered as the janitor generation. They get to clean up the gigantic mess left by the Baby Boomers, just in time to hand the keys over to the Millennials who will undo all their hard work.
Baby Boomers and Millennials don't agree on much, but they agree that Gen X should pay for it all.
What is it with this shit? Is it slowly aging out of the most sought after advertising demographic that makes them think they've been forgotten?
