I don't typically hop into the generation wars, because I've got a Gen X birth certificate and a boomer body.“Asked my daughter to get me a phone book...
She's like, "Yo Gen X, how about keeping up? Just use my iPhone!"
I shrugged, took her iPhone and totally wrecked it when I crushed the spider on the wall.
Gen X is a weird existence in this current environment. I mean, our parents let us come home to empty houses and expected us to entertain ourselves. We did.
Boomer: "Millennials are a bunch of snowflakes."
Millennial: "Ok, Boomer."
Gen X: "[rips bong] Has anyone seen my Pearl Jam CD?"
I love the fact that adults are buying plushies, Lego build sets, Hello Kitty crafts, painting their room all kinds of colors and putting fairy lights everywhere. I love seeing all of us put our money in stuff we wanted as kids and seeing it come to fruition.
One day, Generation X will be the old people. We'll let the kids do whatever they want: clean up the environment, switch to the metric system, legalize pot, and make their own kombucha - and never once ask them to fix our computers. Just have fun and don't get hurt!
I love being Gen X, watching Boomers and Millennials go at it.
2000 was 20 years ago... which is really weird because 1980 was also 20 years ago.
Just remember, for every Boomer that hates a Millennial, there's a Generation (X) in between that hates you both.
Which generation is the best and why is it Gen X?
