A lot of them aren’t, though. They were named Gen X at least in part as a reference to Malcolm X due to their rebellious nature towards previous generations and their societal norms.
Millennials and Gen Z have to pay many times over what it cost the Gen X for a quality education
Due to decades long processes set in motion by boomers and older while Gen X were still children if born at all.
The Boomers aren’t running anything anymore, they’re median age 66 ffs
Half of Congress (54% of Republicans in Congress) is 65 or older. The president is too old to even be a boomer
Their first act as voters was either Reagan or Bush Sr
The first presidential election where they were old enough to vote, the only other realistic challenger was the VP of the president who had been successfully smeared in the media as the most inefficient in modern history and the alternative in 88 was Dukakis. In both cases, the Republican won by a landslide in a media landscape of intense gaslighting and other propaganda in their favor, so you can hardly blame Gen X for them.
They’ve devoted their lives to sex, drugs, and alcohol
Not even remotely true and even if it was, that would be a hell of a lot better than devoting your life to work and money
They still share the boomer view on gender roles, that only men wear pants and go to work, that girls like pink and boys like blue. Anything outside of that very specific framework is viewed as creepy and immoral.
Also false of the majority. In their youth, Gen X were pretty much DEFINED by rebellion against the societal norms of previous generations, including outdated and restrictive gender roles.
In the nicest way possible, the world will be much better when Gen X is gone.
Sounds like there’s more of a YOU problem than a Gen X problem tbh…
Seeing that they and the generation before them are half of Congress in spite of being only 25% of the population, that’s a patently ridiculous claim. Repeating a lie doesn’t make it true, it just makes you more obnoxious.

We got your back. Not sure who’s saying millennials dislike gen x, but they’re not speaking for most of us.
I think its mostly focused on the older gen x, some of them are worse than the boomers.

Exactly right. @doctorcrimson is either completely ignorant of reality, a total dumbass, or a troll.

You said “the boomers aren’t running anything anymore”. Stop moving the goalposts.

Which isn’t where you originally put them. Either argue consistently and in good faith or stop arguing.

Jealous?
I used to do that stuff back in the old days. I still do too.
