    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.

    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.

      Traitors. They joined with the Boomers once they all turned 30.

      As my mother would say, “Whatever.”

      The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.

        the generation war is not real, just distraction from the class war.

        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.

    Every generation thinks they invented dark and surreal humor and without fail news outlets 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.

    Gen X, the least worst generation

      Oh IDK…makes us seem inconsequential. For soem awful reason my gen were the top trump voters. Somehow that slid under the radar.

    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.

      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 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.

    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.

    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
