Hating your parents' generation. So hot right always.
candiduscorvus
Gen X just munching popcorn and working hard while I watch the kids fight the oldies.
KageroShijima
Yeaaaaahhh! Popcorn and appreciation for shit like netflix! I was very optimistic when I was in my twenties too, good luck.
colbyku3
Heard an argument that most boomers were liberal as younger adults and that political climate from then until today has them conservative.
colbyku3
Made claim that Gen X will be mostly conservative or libertarian as they age for same reasons. Idk it was interesting.

The world is full of hypocrites in all shapes and sizes. This shouldn't surprise anyone.
KageroShijima
Everyone is a hypocrite. It's human nature. You are hypocritical for singling everyone out. Especially by shapes and sizes.
Cerinna
Every generation is going to be complaining about every other one. I know that this is true, and sometimes I find myself doing it too.
Cerinna
PS. Mostly when older people tell me that if I'd worked harder I would have been able to afford a house by now.
nicklefarts
I believe gens X,Y, and... Oughts? Are all lumped into millennials.
KageroShijima
The amount of world changing technology in past 40 yrs, rediculous. I did not have computer till 7th grade. Millineals born with them.
nicklefarts
Whoops, you're right. Seems it starts with Gen Y onward. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
OneAngryPacifist
Where was this when that one guy was calling people "millennial twats" over the national geographic magazines.
comaWill
I remember that guy... Ugh
FightMeYouFaggit
That's when this came out. Literally the reason it popped up.
TrundleTheGr8
He had a 6 figure salary you know. He left at all behind. Isn't he just the greatest?
NOINOON
Baby boomers didn't send people to space. Their parents did.
boobcat
No Germans Did
NOINOON
That's just factually wrong. It was /specifically/ Germans (Wernher von Braun) who invented the rocket technology.
boobcat
hmmmm??
voncapel
maybe a comma was missing up there? "No, germans did"
boobcat
sensible chuckle +1
rooski
My parents are baby boomers...The exhibit none of these characteristics
songbanana
Lmao say what you want about millennials/boomers but let's not pretend anyone "saved the world in WWII", y'all need to learn some history
ThatGuy37
Well I'm a millennial and if you say that the baby booms ruined the economy maybe you should not support bernie.
Spiralhaze
"Every generation that isn't my generation is the worst generation!" - every generation
SomewhatOxygenated
More like 'the previous/next gen are the worst!'. You don't see a lot of millenials complain about their grandparents
Placentaur
Oh my grandparents are just as bad as my baby boomer dad. I just come from an awful family.
thesixthcourier
The generation previous to the Millennials would the GenXers. And GenXers seems pretty cool. My parents have similar social values to mine >
thesixthcourier
they're both GenXers. But my dad parents talk shit every Christmas about how no one is fit to run the country except rich white people...
YesterEve
Seemed like a one sided conversation... kind of like talking to a millennial.
thegrimtrigger
Plenty of baby boomers are liberal.
xRocketman52x
As a millennial: this rant is one of the most autistic things. Congrats.
NotFunnyException
I hope I'm not alone seeing the irony here. Here you are, likely on your phone, upvoting whining about baby boomers..
MuskokasOwn
This whole rant, "stop generalizing my generation as bad so I can generalize yours as bad" -a millenial
poopymcpoopersonfucktard
that got lame and lefty real fast, you were on a roll. judging by brexit, trump and more conservatives world wide are showing up.
aroller
Quagmire represents Baby Boomers better since he's like 60. Brian better represents the millennials because he is younger and a liberal
IDontRollOnShabbas
Apparently quagmires in his 70's. They look at his driver's license in one episode. Carrots are his secret
AprilFoolsCakeDay
As a millennial, I'm ashamed of my generation. Most of you ARE narcissistic, entitled twats. Stop bitching and do what YOU can to be better
Demoncarebear
So much more relevant today , 2 years later
slinks360
i hate this generational crap.
notme222
As a Gen X, I'm gonna be laughing so had in 20 years when the next generation reminds this one about how much whining they've done.
KageroShijima
Just don't promote them. They forget about us.
MattDark86
Same, looking at so much irony here in the comments, its hard not to laugh at it all.
Rifneno
Whining >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Obliterating an incredible economy
ElloTherePoppet
I suppose you're right about that. I don't really whine though; it wouldn't do any good.
jjamess10
All generations are equally bad
IKnowWhereSydBarrettLived
Not us Gen X'ers. We're alright.
SkeuomorphicallyInclined
No. If that were true societies would not rise and fall.
Morpheous
I'm going to say that the generation that advocated both slavery and native american genocide was pretty shitty
jjamess10
True but the new generation advocates dabbing

hashbaz
As a straight male in his thirties. I fucking love this movie
BoopityBap
Arguing over generations is fucking dumb. The boomers didn't do shit. They just lived life like everyone else. You would have done the same.
boobcat
That's the opp of History. Previous generations have left a stronger economy & fairer society for the next, until the Boomers.
AR10
Not really, did you forget about the great depression? Yes, the greatest generate did, but as an X i have it way better than my parents.
BoopityBap
It was inevitable. The rest of the world was in shambles after WW2. Them rebuilding meant that the relative wealth of the US had to decline.
KageroShijima
Not to mention they were expected to retire about 10 yrs earlier than they are. Due to the recession I guess?
geiokami
They didn't cause a depression, no one causes a depression. It's a natural economic anomaly, sometimes its worse than others.
ElloTherePoppet
You're somewhat right, but there were actual reasons which caused the recession to be so bad... like the removal of glass steagall.
FerrousBuehler
Because this blaming a generation bullshit is something new. Happens every time yet we still move on
boobcat
It doesn't actually. Except for the Boomers the opposite is true
[deleted]
[deleted]
FerrousBuehler
Every generation has talked shit about the previous. Always have and always will
boobcat
prove it....find me evidence of the golden gen taking whack about their parents gen
FerrousBuehler
How about fuck you. Wait, let me check what was posted on the net 100 years ago.
ElloTherePoppet
I know they talks hit about the new generation.
hifive2wifei
As if this isn't every generation's gripe?
ButterfaceTaintClown
Edgy.
boobcat
no... Since the start of the Industrial revolution every generation has passed on a better society and economy to the next until the Boomers
hifive2wifei
KageroShijima
I'm from generation X. Do I still exist? Was I assimilated into another generation?
comehomefransbrauder
No, we don't exist. All we do is work and mind our business and if we fuck up, we blame ourselves. So, no, we don't exist.
33WhiskeyTX
Same here. We can be bash both.
ThySausagePrince
Gen X/Y were the ones who saw technology boom in their childhood (including me). Millennials had iPhones by the age of 7. We don't lean..
PreKrime
Could be worse, im right on the border of X and Z
AndromedaNichole
You guys fly under the radar nicely
PupRazgriz
Gen X is just the middle child of the generations at the moment so everyone just ignores you.
KageroShijima
Sweet
Banlish
We're ignored still, we're slowly having most of us hit middle age now so it's starting to make ppl say 'oh yeah, they exist don't they?'
airen
My dad is gen x n from what i csn tell he wants to fix the economy my stepmom is babyboomer n lets just say when i picked up poke go
airen
N visited her n mentioned there was a stop next to her house she got pissed n threw me out
orlandocalrisian
Yeah where the fuck did I go?
Conboss
Lmao I'm literally a millennial, like I was born in 2000
Ompy
You're not a millennial then. You're Gen Z.
Conboss
Oh, didn't know. Thanks!
Ompy
No problem :)
gunnexx
'85, not quite X and not quite millenial imo, I just consider myself internet and Im good
jweenypwee
Dude, I think I'm Y (I'm 33) and I have no idea where I belong either.
stupidfuntime
You're a millennial
Kullaidman
You're technically a millenial, but you probably relate more to GenX than millenials. I'm right there with you.
ShowMeYourButtonhole
Y is the old name for "Millennial".
mt77932
We Gen Xers just don't exist. I think history is going to skip us entirely.
stevieray1974
But we had the best music!
wobbu
gen x was too small to have political significance until recently. dont worry, a lot of people hate them too
karaki
Pretty much this ^ Everyone I know that's an X either turned into a Baby Boomer or Millenial.
BeExcellent
Thank goodness! I was worried!
mauryfeldman
Age 45-50 is actually the most populous age group in the US, absolutely Gen X. The age ranges for Gen X are misleadingly small.
mauryfeldman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_United_States
wobbu
Yeah, it's Gen X NOW. Obviously the size of demographics changes a lot over, say, 8 years.
mauryfeldman
If we were to split the population into equal 20-year age groups, Gen X would be sizable.
KageroShijima
Whew! Underappreciated, but not forgotten.
Tubolts
Gen X-ers are usually stereotyped somewhere in-between the millennials and baby boomers. The worst I've seen of them is being too 1/2
Tubolts
nostalgic about 80's/90's kids shows and complaining about how everything new in entertainment sucks.
KageroShijima
Yep. That's me.
wadatahmydamie
You had decent music, but you've mostly quietly followed along with the Boomers. Millennials gotta clean up two generations of bullshit
mauryfeldman
They won't. They will quietly follow along with the Boomers as well. Be realistic.
comehomefransbrauder
Y'all are too busy whining to clean up anything. We didn't cause any bullshit so get over yourself.
wadatahmydamie
I'll be sure to inform the groups I volunteer with. Not many Boomers or Gen Xers at those events, shockingly.
comehomefransbrauder
Yeah, I'm sure only millenials ever volunteer. Makes perfect sense.
wadatahmydamie
"Take that, strawman!"
wadatahmydamie
Generation X invented participation trophies and then whined when kids received them.
moxymox
You're being that guy who says "what about homework over the weekend?" at the end of class. Keep ya head down, boy!
KageroShijima
No, I want to boss around the millineals for at least a couple of years before they put me out of a job. Gen x is getting squanched broh!
BeExcellent
Gen Xers are the reason Millennials exist.
Jkund17
Eh sort of. My parents are baby boomers, but I'm a millennial.
KageroShijima
Not this GenXer. Support Planned Parenthood!

I was born in 1980. Don't identify with Xers, am not quite a Millennial. I'm a free agent!

Oh, and an update was just posted today! https://socialmediaweek.org/blog/2017/04/oregon-trail-generation-revisited/
SpikeReynolds
I was only born in 92 and I still feel more gen x than millennial.
donlocke
Yeah no, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Gen X was born late 60's.
topshelfassistant
I refuse to identify and anything, I work my ass off, don't expect the world, and I don't complain about not getting my participation award
thisnameisntfunny
On the cusp and have older siblings, you probably identify closer to X. If you're the oldest, millennial. It's all about Cultural Influence
PaulSmackageFromGrapevineTexas
Some would say you are a millennial. They've been slowly pushing it back into the late 70's
peelmybanana
Another 1980 baby. I'm right there with you bro. We got shafted on the generational spectrum.
AdmiralButtStuff
Depending on whose definition you use you're either the last year of Generation X or the first of the Millennials.
KageroShijima
We'll take ya! Another borderline gen xer.
ITGeekGirl
'81, but feel the same
HatofTacos
Ditto as an '81er
rkellyismyspiritanimal
81. Old enough to remember the way things used to be but too old to understand Snapchat

One of us, the Oregon trail generation. 78-83
graboids
-84 at least, surely

I want a shirt. That's perfect. Our common Bond: Rushing through classwork so we could die of typhoid.

although I was the very end of '73 and played Oregon trail in middle school...

And run out of ammo to starve to death!
Arcanum3000
Same here. I get along with both, don't really identify with either.
aprilludgateduire
Some researchers have millennials starting as early as 1975 and ending as late as 2004; depends on what info you go by
KageroShijima
My view is I did not grow up with computers, phone etc. I got my first pc in 7th grade. I was on dial up bbs before AOL, that's a Gen gap
Cerinna
1985 so technically I qualify as a millennial, I'm told.
DrHenryJonesJr
I was always told that Gen X was 64-80, Gen Y 80-00
Sirachayoutalkinboutwillis
I was born in 84 and I've been told I'm just before millennial.
Cerinna
So then I'm like borderline millennial? Not a clue.
gunnexx
I think millennial is late 80's onwards so I think us 85's are still good to bitch about all the sides
XanaxWarriorPrincess
Interesting article here http://socialmarketing.org/archives/generations-xy-z-and-the-others/
6313326
1. That's a pretty old article (see: current age of Gen Y/Millenniums section), but does highlight one of the problems I've seen with
6313326
2.defining those born 77-82: The accepted end date for X & start date for Y/Millennials has undergone a bit of float over the years.
6313326
Not that it *really* matters. The generational labels only mean so much on an individual level.
XanaxWarriorPrincess
The Y time frame was awfully large.
XanaxWarriorPrincess
Generation Y came after X
OopsImAPumpkin
I like to think of Gen Y as a "demi-generation" Technically Millennials but early ones (1985-1992) I don't have a name for 1993-2000
6313326
"Y" was just a preliminary name for Millennial, like a placeholder. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
KageroShijima
Just love the username, I love xena
thunder2132
And Generation D came after Y, but then Y and D were wrapped up into the Millennials generation. When I was born I was Gen Y, then I was /
thunder2132
/ classified as Gen D when I was a teen, and now I'm told I'm a Millennial. 1986 baby here.
Streubenhouzen
Thanks for the answer to my question...'86 here too.
KageroShijima
The hell is generation D?
thunder2132
Generation Digital from what I remember. Basically Millennials before that became a thing.
