It’s OK, GenX is used to being forgotten or misunderstood.

Lots of Millenials can’t tell the difference from a Boomer.

Idk, I would say the older half of Gen X could almost be described as “Boomer Lite”. They didnt quite have it AS nice, but still definitely way better than anyone born in the 80’s or later. Not to mention their Boomer-like attitude…

As an older Gen-Xer, who had married another older Xer far too young (because we were brought up that all we needed to do was get a job and life would be awesome) I can agree that some in my age range are definitely watered down boomers. Which is also a fair part of the reason why he's my ex husband now.

As the mother of 3 Gen Z sons, I couldn't be more proud of the amazing men they're becoming, and couldn't be more disgusted about the conditions that some of my generation and those before me have created for them.

Slightly less offensive boomers

"Anybody older than me is a boomer."

More like anyone with a selfish mentality, that thinks everyone just has it as easy as them and those that don't reach the same status are doing it wrong.

We don't exist and I'm okay with that.
