"Generations are made up and largely weren't in public discourse until some hacks wrote a book called Generation X and marketers ran with it. It's literally just a marketing term!"
The topic of generations needs to be barred from general discourse! · u/Dr_StrangeLovePHD · ↑210 · 2024-07-21
"Finally an explanation for GenX "Any FUCKING questions??" posting style"
"Seems like most domestic conflict stems from a collision between baby boomers and millennials. Boomers were financially lucky, millennials are entitled. Boomers were workaholics, millennials are lazy. Meanwhile, Gen X'ers are like- Chyeah man, hair metal blows chunks."

"Could be that so many of those cultural icons died young but I as a Gen Z have this view of Xers as very under represented in generational discourse. 90s nostalgia exists for a reason."

"The oldest Gen Xers are in their 60s and have been in upper leadership roles for 15+ years. How tf is the slacker generation going to keep things afloat in the turbulent socioeconomic climate to come?"
