Baby Boomers vs. Generation X vs. Millennials

I believe the term is Xennials

I used to think gen x were the coolest ever but their whole whatever man thing is so played out (no offense) and these days I'm more interested in weirdo fringe boomer survivors who tend to get left out of this discourse. as a millennial our differently-bullshit approach isn't hitting as hard as it used to either and we all have back pain and mental health problems

every post on this thread should be assumed to have an "obviously we all know this is bullshit" disclaimer at the bottom

Whatever, man.

I identify pretty strongly as Gen X, but I acknowledge our politics overall are shitty. We are the Trumpiest generation: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/20/cherie-westrich-alt-rock-gen-x-maga-00033769

In retrospect, this isn’t surprising. In particular, white dudes my age were in their teens and 20s when the whole backlash against “political correctness” started, when Rush Limbaugh started, when Fox News started. It was attractive to be snarky and cynical in the Clinton era. And then a bunch of those bros got all jacked up on flag waving bullshit after 9/11.

I will always maintain that the early '60s babies are a transitional generation. After all, a a baby boom cannot last 18 years, that is absurd.

Generation Jones

I guess that's my parents - who always seemed vaguely haunted by missing the peak of the counterculture and only encountering it in its disintegrated forms (most notably for them it was west-german stalinism and radfem separatism respectively)

I think more millennials could easily have gone hard right if the financial crisis hadn't hit who it did in the way it did - and hey we still could if they want to buy us out. boomers/pundits who complained about us having been indoctrinated by radical ideology have it all backwards - all you have to do is give us houses and we'll fall in line

I'd never heard of Gen. Jones but I guess I am one (late 63). Dumb name.

people who are not within 6 years of my age in either direction are insufferable, and all their views on everything are wrong

Same, except my range is 5 minutes and shrinking.

Jones: Have never thought Flower Power hippies and the senior class of Dazed & Confused were of the same generation.

Wooderson's a Boomer tho

my gen z students think millennials are old. we're "cheugy."

ok boomer

it's true we are cheugy

they still love lana del rey though. some millennials are for all time.

millennials are old. we had our chance and we blew it on craft beer and justin timberlake. now all we have left is a future US president and I hope the zoomers are savvier with them than we were with obama.

This one always makes me laugh
