[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen X is a significantly smaller generation than Boomers or Millennials. Naturally the larger groups are louder and have a greater societal impact.[/quote]

Tell that to our boy, Elon.[/quote]

We already voted to kick him out. He can be a boomer. [/quote]

Exactly. We took his card.[/quote]

He’s polarizing, no doubt. But he’s loud and has made a societal impact, whether we like it or not. Also, one of the most fun Gen X moments was when Eminem, Dr Dre, MJB, and Snoop performed at the Super Bowl last year. Millennials were getting their minds blown over the fact that these performers did not, in fact (forget Kendrick) belong to their generation. It was much fun and great to realize that, for all the weird SH!t our generation is known for (no depression, but crazy-ass parents who neglected their kids at a criminal level and who were really forced to fend for themselves for the most part- despite the outward impression that we were just spoiled slackers who didn’t appreciate their Boomer elders), we turned out to be a creative and artsy generation who can withstand all the crap from both sides and will ultimately teach our Z kids and Alpha grandkids how to create a fun life out of a slog.

Every generation has one. Despite that, the Xers have persevered. Everything was out there [/quote]

I’m quoting my own post to clarify that I meant we didn’t live through a Depression. Reading it back as it is, I realized it made me sound like I was saying we didn’t/don’t suffer from depression. We all know how incorrect that is[/quote]

Some of us remember the energy crisis in the 70s. [/quote]

Ok. But most of us who lived through it were at nowhere near the depths of poverty that many others faced during the Great Depression. Even the oldest Xer was only 10 and, while they may have wasted time waiting in gas lines with their parents, did not face the same despair that children in the Great Depression often did.

Now, did they, at the ages of 4 &6,  have to sit on the couch and watch TV for hours, with only hot dogs left on the counter,while their parents went out partying with the neighbors until 3 am? Absolutely![/quote]
