I’m whats known as a Xennial. Half Gen-X, half Millenial.

Boomers can go fuck themself for electing Reagan before I was born to tell them how wrong they are.

Gen-Z seems pretty alright though. Good to see they hate AI as much as we do.

And I’ve been told that gen alpha isn’t having sex, and it’s pissing off the boomers. Which I find really really weird. Why do the boomers care if a bunch of teenagers fuck?

And at first I thought it was about social security. But even if Gen Alpha fucks right now, today, and has a kid 9 months from now, that kid won’t be paying into social security for 17 years AT THE EARLIEST!!! That’s assuming they get a job the day they turn 16.

Boomers, I need you to understand something. You’re going to die. Thats not a threat, it’s an eventuality. It’s 100% guarenteed. And it’s going to happen pretty quick. It’s already happened for the older end of the boomers, and the ones who didn’t live healthy.

I give it 10 years before the bulk of you are dead. And honestly, I can’t wait. The sooner the boomers are off this planet the better.

And Gen-X has proven to me that just because you’re old, doesn’t mean you HAVE TO act like an entitled twat. Gen X is 50-65 right now, and very rarely do I see that age bracket THESE DAYS yelling at a fast food employee because Arbys discontinued their meat mountain sandwich. Look, I’m disappointed too! If boomers want to give themselves heart attacks, great. Go for it. But don’t yell at Steve working front counter about it! 20 minutes ago he was mopping up the bathroom floor. I PROMISE you, he does not have the sway in arbys corporate culture to discontinue menu items.

Today, I don’t see that with 55 year old Gen-Xers. But 20 years ago, that was a regular occurance with 55 year old boomers.
