okay zoomer, sorry we couldn’t fix everything in one pass.

While we’re on the subject of failures, why don’t you eat some avocado toast or something that Millennials supposedly do instead of buying houses and diamonds? Are you really mad that instead of fixing the world up the way you want it to be, we spent our youth getting fucked up and piercing ourselves in strange…
This violates the rule that everyone younger than the Boomers has to gang up against the Boomers. No infighting!
Oh fuck off.
The failure of Gen-X in the 90's. GTFOH.
Who has been in power for the entirety of that time and is just now started to every so slightly lose some of that power? Fucking Boomers.
True Gen-Xers have always been about inclusion and societal fairness. The “whatever” generational label had nothing to do with…
Something to also note Gen X is a smaller amount of people than the Boomer Generation so despite their influence on things it was also the minority in comparison. The Boomers had greater representation and power within society. Truly the millennials who are all adults now could easily take over and sway society over…
So, “Gen X” is, by your own writing, tangential to the battles over political correctness. And Coupland’s description of it is, by your description of it, wrong and incomplete. Yet Coupland’s blindspots are then attributed to the Generation as a whole, and then those blindspots are linked to the failure of political…
I mean...most of the Proud Boys are millenials and/or gen z as it is. They also decry “cancel culture” so according to this article, the two generations that came after X have already failed.
Is this because GenX won’t take a side in the skinny jean/side part war?
“Failure of Gen X.” I’m not sure in what magical land a “success” could have happened. Or how you would define a “success.” People may change their views over the course of a lifetime, and some not at all. Cultures change even slower than individuals. Seems a bit unfair to blame Gen X just because they furthered the…
Cool. I look forward to Millennials fixing America’s social ills since Gen-X failed. Then I look forward to articles like this, written by Gen-Z, complaining that Millennials did not fix America.
Seems this is more an issue of the bigots co-opting language and twisting it than any particular failure of Gen X, to be honest. And I am certain that the same co-opting and turning into a slur happened before political correctness too. Seems that the bigots just don’t like it when we use language to describe their…
Is it really that hard to figure out? It’s a power trip. Paid porn actors are getting paid for what they’re doing, and the “girl next door” isn’t. but you get to see her boobs anyway. The not very well kept secret that she’s doing it because she’s drunk, or in return for something dumb like a pair of shorts, is part…
Ted, no one likes you. That’s the issue. You know why Obama was so popular to the point his own family genuinely adored him when the cameras weren’t around?
“just don’t be assholes! Treat each other as human beings, have some modicum of respect.”
Party of the ‘blue collar and working class’? The working class in this country can’t afford to take vacations let alone go to Cancun. The working class of his state can’t afford their new electric bills. The greatest scam is convincing the working class that they belong in the same party as the wealthy, and that…
“There’s a lot of information that we know about this case that we didn’t know at the time. Those officers didn’t know his age. They didn’t know he was 18. They didn’t know he worked at Walmart. They didn’t know where he lived.”
GenXer here - man millennial aren’t getting any better with age
I’m a late gen x’r, would have been an old millenial had been born a year or two later. I’m super pissed I got rid of all my boot cut jeans.. I actually hate skinny jeans, they don’t look good on me. The boot or straight cut makes my legs look longer.. now I can wear those again?? I’m so confused!
You ever feel left out that millennials went from war on boomers to war on gen z and just forgot all about gen x?
We were the last of the Not Lames.
