!!! Finally, the media is moving on from moaning about boomers and millennials while completely ignoring gen X! I wonder what stereotypes they will inherit; 'losers' seems a bit simplistic. (My theory is that the media's complete gen X blindness is because most editors are gen X; as those editors start to cycle out and get replaced with millennials, the ire of the media will turn on gen X (and on zoomers), and no-one will ever mention avocados again.) | ||

We Gen X'ers fancied ourselves the Invisible Generation ever since we coined the term -- the entire point being that we didn't have an actual name of our own. I will note that as far as the millennials are concerned, we are boomers. When they say "ok boomer" they include us. That's not entirely fair, but it's true that we didn't do a great job of preventing the boomers' excesses from creating the problems that now face the millennials. |
