My girlfriend has a name for those dudes. SNAGs. Sensitive New Age Guys. They’re always more outraged about someone eating a steak than women being sexually assaulted.

Guys like him are just a creepy as the overly aggressive frat bros.

Moby was one of those artists I was embarrassed to listen to even though I liked a few of his songs. He seems like the guy to be all “I like yoga, wear glasses, am vegan and into transcendental meditation. I’m safe! Now fuck me.” Guys like him are just a creepy as the overly aggressive frat bros.

The article still circulates on Facebook but I still think it’s relevant as people have so much angst against generations, personally I blame the boomers for receiving all the rewards while the following generations squabble as to who experienced what and did what. At the end of the day the war has impacted 3…

That’s not true at all. Generation X in 2002 were between the ages of 21 and 37. The war it’s ongoing so yes Y is there. No one is taking that from you. But both my husband and myself are veterans and generation X. We have never had the benefits our parents generation, witnessed divorce first and slowly watched as a…

1964. My year, 1964 is the year that starts Gen X, it was coined in a book about my college graduating class.

This was from 4 years ago. 4 years ago today, as it happens. I was responding to the previous person, who asserted that Gen X didn’t go to war. All of those who went to war from the Gulf War onward, from 1990 to 2003 were Gen X. The really sad thing is, here we are 25 years and two generations later, essentially still…

Anyone already in the army when you graduated was likely Gen X

So Boomers get '45-'65 and Millennials get '80-'00, 20 years each. I guess us Gen Xers get shortchanged again only getting '66-'79. That was the whole point behind naming us X. We're the generation that got screwed. We didn't even get a name.

This war didn't start on 9/11, which I guess was my main point. It was almost entirely Gen-Xers who were the first to go to war in the Middle East in the 90s.

Unfortunately I don't see anyone trying to fix the mess. They're doing their best to exploit it before the whole economy collapses. But otherwise, yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

We got hit with the beginning of what you're facing now. And unlike you we never saw it coming. Many went into college with the promise of a great job and got out only to find that things radically changed in 4 years and now you were lucky to find a job for $20k while facing $40k in student loans. And those that did…

AWESOME POST. I'm reminded of the SAT tutoring work I did during college and over the past 7 years meeting teenagers who grew up well-off but still worked hard at school and held weekend jobs. I'm reminded of the teens who knew how to write applications for their phones before they finished 9th grade. The next…

Sorry but...

As a Gen Xer here's what I've noted throughout my life.

RANT:

THANK you! That was my thought on the subject. "HELP! I've racked up a zillion dollars in loads so I could take six years to finally get my bachelors in communications!"

Precisely. Where do people get off saying they should have their student loans "forgiven". What you are saying with that is that you should have a free education and be free of the responsibility for the decisions you made.

…and we all paid our fucking student loan bills, quietly without bitching (too much) about it.

Boomers caused both bubbles. They are the ones controlling the money supply and the interest rates and they are the ones that decided that investments should be made into various industries. And they are the ones that will soon retire and have the power to suck this country dry.
