Gen X: Not pictured

Haha, sounds about right. We're the forgotten generation. But that's okay.

Xennial here. I'm glad to stay out of this manufactured generational conflict drama.

I've been called boomer and merrily laugh in the face of the kids that think they are just as clever that I thought I was in their age.

Gen X probably just hopes they're old or dead before it gets really bad

GenX turned out at the highest rates for Trump in the last election. They out-MAGA'd Boomers.

My Boomer parents and FiL definitely seem to hope/ plan for being dead when shit hits the fan. But most GenXers will still be around in 5 years, so they'll get to reap what they sewed.

This one does.

I mean, it is really bad… Gen X has the opportunity to do something really funny all at once…

Because a lot are MAGA pretending everything is just fine.

I'm being downvoted, but a big chunk of MAGA are gen X.

[–] ShamanRonin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Gen X is definitely a mixed bag

Also Lost Generation.
