Leave Gen X out of your generational sputterings
Or what, you'll act moody, disconnected, and do nothing? I'd add sit in the corner to the list but we all know your knees can't take sitting on the floor anymore.
"Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality"
I’ve always thought the boomer/millennial whining was people of the exact same personality being insufferable to each other, just throwing down inane stereotypes while being emotionally immature and unable to be decent people.
Every age group has people like that, of course. I just get tired of having to watch it play out constantly online. So just shut the fuck up and do some good in the world. Instead of griping about people, show us something inspirational that you’ve done. Be the example of what you want other people to be.
... maybe

Yeah, but then you'll complain that no one pays attention to you.
No we won't. Now git of mah lern
Ok, Boomer
Stop acting like boomers.
as soon as the zoomers put away their swastikas and crypto scams.
Seriously this. We have too many boomers as-is. Knock that shit off. You're ruining everything for future generations with your selfishness.
Edit: Yeah sure, just downvote and hide. Typical Gen X behavior.
Accept these downvotes with pride.
Genx has a deeply seated victim complex.
Someone was saying the generations slipped over politically but they actual hold 41% of house seats, that's more than boomers and almost three times millennials at 15%.
Less represented on the senate (28%) but still second place behind boomers (61%).
It was clear over a decade ago that genx would not be better than the boomers.
As a GenX (xennial actually), no… GenX needs to start being held accountable for the all the shit going on in this world. They are not above reproach, and it’s high time we all call them out on their narcissistic bullshit.
“Narcissistic bullshit” is intergenerational. In fact, it has nothing to do with age. So you’re going to hold Gen X “accountable”..? Geezus fuck off. Go hold the pre-WWII generation accountable, or 19nth Century people, or the Roman Empire era folks… This whole generational gripe-fest that some of you espouse is just aimless trendy nonsense. I don’t respect it.
It's exact opposite of a trend. The younger generations criticizing the older ones for not living up to their responsibilities has been just as much a constant throughout human history as the older generations criticizing the younger ones for being lazy by their parents' definition.
The world sucks, as usual, and by now Gen X are old enough to be in charge. It's sensible to call them out, just like in a decade or two it'll be sensible to call out the Millennials for the same thing.
"Old enough to be in charge" is not the same as "in charge."
Clinton, Bush 2, Obama and Trump are all Boomers. Biden is Silent Generation.
Gen X is smaller than Boomers and Millennials. We have always known we were going to be passed over in governmental power dynamics.
