I made a millennial joke in front of my coworkers after a two month break. (They have said waaaay worse). Anyway they HR’d me and I almost got a free vacation to the grippy sock hotel. Now I keep my mouth shut. They’ll never see it coming! Assholes.
Just gonna put on my plaid shirt and strum mournfully on a guitar now.
My gen x ass was coming to post this exact thing. Well done.
Generation self defined by apathy and nihilism gets overlooked?
Generation “Mentions not getting mentioned any time people talk about generations”
Where’s Gen X?
Oh right. Forgotten.
As my mother would say, “Whatever.”
The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.
Edit: lol at people who are downvoting and taking my comment seriously. It’s a jab at Gen X not being mentioned at all in mainstream discourse of generation fight amongst boomers, millenials and zoomers. I don’t know what nerves I have hit but I am owning it.
the generation war is not real, just distraction from the class war.
I used to think generational fighting is stupid, but the stats are undeniable, boomers own much of the wealth. Boomers are least likely to vote far right, but they are more likely to vote down affordable housing because they don’t want their property value to drop. That is an indirect support for the far right, because it leads to younger people being resentful and voting for populist far right who promise them the stars and blame the wrong types of people. This is a trend across the world. Generational and class conflict are one and the same in this case. Sorry to older folks of Lemmy, but older generations have become greedy.
False.
I am eating peanut butter pretzels.
I wish Gen X would shut the fuck up like you say they do. Reeks of desperate middle child every time.
Hey!!! We’re important! We were Pepsi: Generation Next and we saw Jurrassic Park in our teens, shit like that
Traitors. They joined with the Boomers once they all turned 30.
Gen X, the least worst generation
Oh IDK…makes us seem inconsequential. For some awful reason my gen were the top trump voters. Somehow that slid under the radar.
Generation proxmox?
Every generation thinks they invented dark and surreal humor and without fail people who should know better act likes its some new and unique thing… it’s more of an anomaly IMHO if a generation doesn’t do this.
Yeah but instead of joking about suicide like a normal person, boomers write confusingly veiled songs about it and pretend they’re family friendly.
Looking at you, David Bowie! Space Oddity isn’t for children!
Dark humor comes and goes in cultural waves, it seems.
Joking?
Pretty sure their leading cause of death is suicide, just like the millennials. Although millennials are going to be getting old enough soon that heart problems will probably take over at some point.
Gen X managed to blame everything they did on the boomers
More like the kids can’t tell old people apart. They’ve been binning Gen-X into the Boomer category. Old is Boomer to them.
I’m sure they would label some older Millennials as Boomers too. Especially since social media has distorted everyone’s perception of physical appearance. Even millennials are struggling with coming to grips with aging. Sorry guys but you are old.
Gen-X wasn’t forgotten. There’s the technical definition of generations. Then there’s the pop culture / meme definition of generations. In pop culture. Especially zoomer pop culture. There’s only Boomer, Millennial, and Zoomer. Which vaguely goes as old, 20-30 something, and teenager. Gen-X was “forgotten” into the Boomer category.
I’m 39, and Lemmy has informed me that I’m a “boomer”. Apparently “it’s a mindset!” or something.
Hey, blame Kurt Cobain about why Gen X takes it too seriously. You also can’t joke with them about using too much heroin without a diatribe about Kate Moss and Anthony Kiedis
