Nobody ever remembers Gen X

As my mother would say, “Whatever.”

The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.
Ohmmy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
I wish Gen X would shut the fuck up like you say they do. Reeks of desperate middle child every time.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
False.
I am eating peanut butter pretzels.

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

W-what? Cmon, I’m slave labor here. I have no agency whatsoever.

Seems like it was kinda 50-50.
stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
X marks the spot, still looking though.

Not forgotten, just not relevant

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.
turdcollector69@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
What was the joke and what are they not going to see coming?
Beebabe@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
“Probably better to die than pretend like I can afford a house before I’m 90” or something. Not those exact words.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
That end is a bit ominous, you alright?
Beebabe@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I have a reason I have to get up. I joked about being able to buy a house before I died. Not that I want to get up. But I’m obligated.

Generation self defined by apathy and nihilism gets overlooked?

Generation bitches and whines about being ignored while being the largest voting bloc behind the return of fascism
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Meh. Whatever.

Right here, right now. Watching the world wake from history.
TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
More like replaying history but yeah
Preventer79@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
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.
MummysLittleBloodSlut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
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!
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 weeks ago
I feel like Boomers’ jokes about hating their spouse is thinly veiled suicidality jokes. Like, they’re giving big “I did everything I was meant to and I hate my life” energy
RedSnt@feddit.dk 5 weeks ago
You know the sayings: “We’re standing on the shoulders of giants” and “he walked so we could run” etc.
PugJesus@piefed.social 5 weeks ago
Dark humor comes and goes in cultural waves, it seems.

Gen X: “First time?” meme.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Its not like most of us care we are not mentioned in the same place these losers are.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Exactly the point of GenX, please keep ignoring us. It’s why we dress in black.
snooggums@piefed.world 5 weeks ago
Is that the reason? I just prefer not to wear light colors that get visibly dirty so easily.
IzzyJ@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
And this is why we don’t
_AutumnMoon_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Gen X managed to blame everything they did on the boomers
OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.
MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 5 weeks ago
I’m 39, and Lemmy has informed me that I’m a “boomer”. Apparently “it’s a mindset!” or something.
PugJesus@piefed.social 5 weeks ago
Joking?
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
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.
makyo@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Gen X, the least worst generation
Bleys@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You mean the statistically most pro-Trump generation, more so than even boomers?
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 weeks ago
And the one that bitches and whines when everything isn’t about them?
Pay no attention to that behavioral correlation.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Oh IDK…makes us seem inconsequential. For soem awful reason my gen were the top trump voters. Somehow that slid under the radar.

Generation proxmox?
GreenShimada@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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

I’ll never forgive Gen-X for making shitty depressing grunge music inescapable in my early years.
