Xer’s never really got over that “everyone is dumb except for me” phase that most ditch after they actually get kissed.
Eh. The Gen Xers I know all admit they’d be fucked in today’s housing market if they didn’t already have theirs. The are generally very sympathetic and appreciate how lucky they are.
To modify this comic, they sit down for a show and are quickly horrified at the brutality of the spectacle.
I’ll give them cred for not being like the boomers.
Meh. Whatever man.
I’m so tough. I’m the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren’t tough enough. I’m the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I’m tough.
—Average Gen X’er to the mirror every morning
TBH I blame Gen X the most. Boomers are going extinct soon, Gen X at the oldest are about 60 or more.
This fucked up world is Gen X’s world.
Ehh. They mostly rode the coattails of the boomers. I dunno if I can reasonably get angry at them for taking advantage of the opportunity that the boomers made for them to prosper.
It’s the boomers that own, and frequently still run the companies that are ruining the economy. That’s for fucking sure. Gen x just got a free ride.
Of all the people I know, the Gen x are the most likely to just be coasting through life because they were downright given all the opportunities and never really struggled for much.
We should be fighting the 1%, not each other.
You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.
We’re so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:
I’ve met some people that are that fucking stupid.
It’s incredible to me that they manage to put on pants and get to work on time each morning.
Me who’s both:
I’m near the start of the millennial generation, my older brothers are Gen x and more in-between than I am. There’s about 5-6 years between all of us and we represent two generations in varying degrees.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials
Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts.
Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983,[1] though some extend this further in either direction.[2][3] Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood. Xennials are almost exclusively the children of baby boomers and came of age during a rapidly changing period that was the 1990s.
I’ve heard it referred to as the Oregon Trail generation.
Meanwhile gen x are the most conservative generation
So who sold them the popcorn
the millennial, working two jobs to afford rent…
Gen X looks too young in this.
I get that a lot.
I mean we are talking about people 45 to 60 years old at this point.
Turns out not all 45 year olds look 60.
few 45 year olds look 25 though (like the comic above). I mean your not fooling anyone.
Beard and eyebrows are when 25.
well with no grey, and smooth skin, yes. (did you not have eyebrows at 25?)
Maybe I just have beautiful friends, I dunno. But no Grey in beard is not strange and my cartoon friend is wearing a hat, and has cartoon skin.
I look young. I feel old but I look young. So much so the people I work with thought I was in my early 40’s when I was hired four years ago. I’m nearly 54.
I am just sad to see people portray gen X and Y as young, as if people can not be old.
Are these gens just going to work until death, always treated like the Jr.s?
I get that. We are going to be the generation blamed with everything. They are blaming the boomers now but in just a little while all of it will be our fault.
(The boxing arena is on fire.)
The comic is funny, but only in the sense that is a media presentation trying to make an age war rather than class war.
Oh was this not a meme about dipshit influencer fighting Mike Tyson?
I thought it was more about young people willing to watch garbage because 🤪🤪🤪 what if how zany 🤪🤪🤪
Gen X are not young. Not any more, to our great displeasure and horror.
Nowadays 55 is actually pretty young still in comparison to the rest of human history. If you live in europe at least you can easily go another 35 years. Of course this does not apply to the rest of the world just the rich parts of europe and east asia but yeah.
The world has been fighting Boomers for 4 decades. They’re not all villains, but certainly the majority of villains are Boomers.
Probably because the majority of people are boomers. They’re called baby boomers because their population exploded across the world.
A breakdown of the U.S. population by 5-year age groups, based on the 2018-2022 American Community Survey estimates:
0-4 years: 5.7%
5-9 years: 6.0%
10-14 years: 6.4%
15-19 years: 6.5%
20-24 years: 6.7%
25-29 years: 6.9%
30-34 years: 6.9%
35-39 years: 6.7%
40-44 years: 6.3%
45-49 years: 6.0%
50-54 years: 6.3%
55-59 years: 6.5%
60-64 years: 6.3%
65-69 years: 5.3%
70-74 years: 4.3%
75-79 years: 2.9%
80-84 years: 1.9%
85 years and over: 1.9%
Also let’s be frank, it’s a class divide. Boomers had a huge leg up, and then those who amassed great wealth are the ones we see in power making decisions that close doors to the younger generations.
But back to my point, of course those who have had 60+ years to amass and invest wealth are going to be richer, especially when they had something to invest at the start.
I think when we consider that Gen Z men are running to the right, we should rethink boomers as a scapegoat. It’s not the boomers. It’s the rich and the Andrew Tates of the world who are in the boxing ring.
Like I could probably take down a random boomer, but a billionaire could hire Mike Tyson and I’d be fucked in the ring.
Boomer voting preferences haven’t help things either.
I propose a name change for them.
Their parents were “The Greatest Generation”
I think we should start referring to Boomers as “The Worst Generation.”
Hate is fun?
Yeah! Hit him! Right in that soft boomer belly! [munches popcorn]
Gen X sitting around doing fuck all as usual.
Kobain’s death is still too raw.
We had our turn being adults when we were 10.
Weren’t the statistics from the last election a big deal because Gen Z actually didn’t align with Millennials?
I’m pretty sure I saw people getting mad at the number of young voters who opted to vote for Trump
Could be wrong though
No, they’re just less left leaning than Millennials were at that age. 66% of Millennials voted for Obama, whereas only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris.
Obama was a far more compelling candidate. Don’t blame the voters for the DNC pushing milquetoast candidates.
I think you can’t discount all the people that wanted to vote for the first black president too.
Trump is also a far, far worse candidate than McCain was.
I can’t argue with you there.
You didn’t need to be “left leaning” to vote for Harris. Just, you know, not insane.
Is it that they’re less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn’t move their base as much.
That’s how most of the electorate approaches political analysis unfortunately: the parties supply their politics.
With Gen Z there’s also a huge gender disparity, the boys are NOT okay, they’re the Hitler Youth.
That said, Gen X voted for Trump in greater numbers than the Boomers.
Gen X aren’t spectators. They’re fucking MAGA, and they were also the ones writing the shitty generation war articles.
Lol keep calling them the Hitler youth LMAO 🤣. Then you guys wonder why they don’t want to vote for you kkjjj
Shitheads do shithead things and then blame others for their decisions. It’s not a new facet of humanity.
And then you people wonder why you still lost the election, wow.
Don’t worry, maybe you’ll understand when DJ bob wins the next presidential election
Gen X is the generation that got just enough from their boomer and silent Gen parents that they don’t really care to change anything and keep up the system but pretend they hate it.
They act like they are separated and completely uninvolved but they are the last generation to have a semblance of a nice thing and they won’t rock the boat. Especially now that they are getting more of the positions their parents held.
They may pretend they aren’t here, but they are, and pretending they stuck to themselves and they don’t do anything that impacts others is just wishful thinking on their part.
The generations are:
- Boomer: anybody older than me who I disagree with.
- Millennial: anybody younger than me who I disagree with
- Gen Z: anyone who uses whichever social networks are taboo at the moment.
The are no other generations.
Wow, I can’t believe you’d just ignore Girl’s Generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls’_Generation
Gen X: Whatever.
