- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

And genx?
They don't care and we don't care about them
Are those the ones who made skbidi or whatever that thing was popular? then they can fuck right off. There's no hope left for them.
Skibidi Toilet was created by someone born in 1997, which is Gen Z.
Gen Xers are the older end of the workforce. Some might be lucky enough to be able to retire, but they're not as well off as the Boomers.

Edit: for some reason, fedia.io isn't turning that into a link, so it might not show up properly elsewhere. Copy+paste works.
"Gen Xers are the older end of the workforce. Some might be lucky enough to be able to retire, but they're not as well off as the Boomers."
Born in 71 from older parents who had raised my boomer siblings, once I became an adult I found out the world was not what I was prepared for. Long story short, I was able to start putting away for retirement 3 years ago. So yeah, I'll hopefully have some money for an emergency, but not counting on actually getting to retire till my 70's, health permitting.
TIL I’m the “older end of the workforce.” Who knew?
Well there are plenty of exceptions that might mean certain Gen Xers aren't in the workforce (pervasive mental illness in my case), but the cut-off was 1980 - 45 long years ago - so we're all middle-aged now.
Sure, the oldest end is still boomers, but I don't think my statement was completely inaccurate.
I am not 46 years old, how dare you!
You would if you'd have paid attention somewhere in the last 30 years
I had to look that up which is probably the entire reason you posted. Far worse than a Rick roll. I’ll never get that image out of my head.
Per the wiki, it’s Gen Alpha that loves it.
No, GenX is the reason scifi is such a thing now. Raised on the original Star Wars and Star Trek, starved for more, now producing more.
That is simultaneously the best and worst take on why gen x broke so hard for trump and ushered in a dystopia.
The 18-29 male demographic swung it. That and non voters.
And let’s not forget all the people who sat out or spite voted for Trump because if Israel. Clearly that worked in their favor.
I will always blame people who voted for trump over the other two (well, three, whatever you divide the non republican/democratic votes) categories.
As for the ages, genx was the big one. Here's a pretty good article with even more polls and studies backing up the influence of gen x on the 2024 election: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/20/cherie-westrich-alt-rock-gen-x-maga-00033769

Until your post most of what I’ve been reading follows the above, with the biggest shifts to Trump starting with Millenials and the youngest generations. Bizarre and counterintuitive but there it is.
The main byline is Biden didn’t magically fix the economy (for working class, the economy is great if you make over $400k) in 4 years so they switched sides.
X just kinda sits where they are, like gargoyles, and doesn’t change much.
Ok boomer
They literally are not a boomer.
