Tell that to our boy, Elon.
We already voted to kick him out. He can be a boomer.
Exactly. We took his card.
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
Millennial here, Eminem, Dr Dre, MJB, and Snoop are all millennial music, you probably are thinking about the eagles or other 70s music
Uh no - I am Gen X and as a teen listened to all of these artists.
Not really, it's already been officially reported as millennial music , are you embarrassed to claim the 70s

Elon is a phenomenon, Starlink alone would make him a demigod. Getting Tesla to even be competitive in the automotive industry is a huge accomplishment. Name another car manufacturer who started from nothing and is now dominating the market within 20 years. SpaceX is seriously successful in the aerospace industry. So much success in very cerebral endeavors. Spilling Big Tech's and Big Gov's secrets when no one else will. I'll gladly claim him.

I think Gen Xers go through life mostly unnoticed because we are the most normal and least problematic of all the generations.

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
Some of us remember the energy crisis in the 70s.
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!

I am Gen X yes we're a smaller group, far more single children during those years. Women working and taking the pill is part of it, as well as austerity in some places.

The modern internet was built by GenX.
But we aren't digital natives so we don't understand it. It's like cars. Being born in a world with cars makes you a mechanic.
Why wouldn't we understand it? We had to learn it and use it and embrace it as older teens or young adults. We literally had to in the workplace. We also bring a unique perspective in that we are comfortable with technology but having lived a portion of our lives without it, we see the negative aspects of it as well.
We don't intuitively understand it like a digital native would.
