Aren't Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Kurt Cobain all Gen X?
Obama could go either way, Gen X or Boomer. The rest are solidly Gen X. Sorry about Elon Musk, what does he smell like?
Obama cannot go either way. He's 1961- that's a straight Boomer.

Gen Z kids are wild and might really make a difference.
Love to see it after the milquetoast millennials.

LOL. Millennials saving the world? They don’t even want to work overtime. They aren’t gonna get shit done.
Yeah, no, on Millenials saving the world. It will be Gen Z. Why? Because the entitled Millenials are the children of the entitled boomers.
Gen Z can barely function out in the real world, much less so than millenials at least. It isn't surprising when you consider that their Gen X parents are essentially Boomer-lite in spite of their faux "rebellious", "boo hoo I was a latchkey kid" air they put on.
Guessing you are a Millennials with reading comprehension issues. The latchkey kids posting here (and I’m one of them) weren’t “boohooing.” You probably don’t understand because you were likely raised by Boomer parents who made you feel like everything you did was magical.
GenX kids were more independent, and we were fine with it. My parents were great; no crying from me at all.
Ah, another low IQ Gen-Xer. Gen X isn't as unique and different as they like to pretend that they are. Most of you guys are actually virtually indistinguishable from the Boomers that you love to talk down to. And your Gen Z kids have all of the negative traits that usually get attributed to Millennials, including the entitlement and rampant mental health issues.
You're so jealous it's hilarious.
Millenniasl are a deeply uncool generation. We all see this -- Boomers, Gen X, Gen Z.
Your pop culture was lame, your participation trophies turned you into snowflakes, you think you invented every human experience known to mankind (marriage, birth, parenting, student debt etc.) and your fashion sucks wet a$$

This. I mean we were coined Gen X because we kind of didn’t fit into any box neatly. The group that wasn’t really a group. No labels.

No necessarily true. I was born in 1965. I am the 3rd of 3 and my parents were 32 and 39 when I was born. My siblings are both very clearly and almost stereotypically boomers. But there was a 5 year gap between them and me (they are 5 and 7 years older). That gap was quite telling. When I was in grade school, they were in high school and became a lot more independent, so they weren't around as much. When I was in middle school, both of them went to college. They both graduated and moved to start jobs elsewhere in the country when I was in high school. So, in many respects, I was much more like an only child. I am very different from my siblings and I am much more of a stereotypical Xer. When I was in grade school, my mother went back to work and I was a latchkey kid letting myself into the house and having a couple of hours of caring for myself until my parents got home (among other things). My parents were very different when I was young vs when my siblings were young. And my parents adopted different parenting tactics because a lot of life had changed for them when my siblings were in HS and later in college.

At least you finally admit your generations faults. Next step is stop blaming everyone else for your problems.
Lol, way to show how out of touch your generation is. Again, you're talking about Gen Z. Millennials are in their 40s now. Most are too busy working and raising their families to spend time blaming other people for anything.
Plenty of gen X are still in their 40s. Check your math. Or did you learn all that new math and can’t do basic math?
Yeah, the oldest Millennials are like 41. I’m a youngish Xer and am 45.

+1. Xer here. 1970. We got some of the buffet but the boomers definitely took most of the good stuff. Gen Z just seems to me with no ‘hustle.’ Universally. Nothing will force them into a higher gear. Not sure where that came from…
Face it, we're doomed. Nobody is going to save the world.
I think Millennials are correct in one thing- the Baby Boomers basically looted this country and then gave us all the finger. Gen X'ers got some of the benefits before the Boomers tore it down (at least college educations were relatively affordable). But the Millennials? They're out of luck.
I agree with this and I’m a Gen Xer. My parents are Boomers and they are good people, but they’re sitting on millions in real estate through no effort of their own except buying at the right time. They also went to state college almost for free.

The very oldest Millenials are just over 40. I work with plenty of 30 something Millenials who aren’t married or uninterested in children (Bay Area).

Also I’m sick of boomers. My older sibs (1968 etc) are turning into crotchety boomers. They are getting conservative and selfish. I got mine, etc.
Also I don’t care much about millennials because they are getting apathetic and sarcastic like us. Maybe with age the generations just meld.
I should say millennials don’t faze me because they kinda blend in now.
1968 is GenX
Wow , yes. Genx don’t care much but reading is fundamental.
Yes my older sibs, also genx, to the max, like they introduced me to Atari and blonde, are now turning into crotchety boomers. Attitude wise. You speaka the English? As shawna/Jeannie says on Ferris Bueller.
