Where's Gen X?
Oh right. Forgotten.
-
As my mother would say, "Whatever."
-
The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.
Edit: lol at people who are downvoting and taking my comment seriously. It's a jab at Gen X not being mentioned at all in mainstream discourse of generation fight amongst boomers, millenials and zoomers. I don't know what nerves I have hit but I am owning it.
-
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.
-
What was the joke and what are they not going to see coming?
-
“Probably better to die than pretend like I can afford a house before I’m 90” or something. Not those exact words.
-
-
That end is a bit ominous, you alright?
-
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.

Do a flip!

Generation self defined by apathy and nihilism gets overlooked?
-
Meh. Whatever.
-
Every generation thinks they invented dark and surreal humor and without fail people 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.
-
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!

Dark humor comes and goes in cultural waves, it seems.

Gen X: "First time?" meme.
-
Just gonna put on my plaid shirt and strum mournfully on a guitar now.
-
That makes you a millennial right? This is the hipster vibe you're going for?
-
-
Joking?
-
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.

Joking?

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
-
Fuck Andy Dick with a rusty spoon
-
X'er here. Fair.
-
I’ll never forgive Gen-X for making shitty depressing grunge music inescapable in my early years.

Gen X, the least worst generation
-
Oh IDK…makes us seem inconsequential. For some awful reason my gen were the top trump voters. Somehow that slid under the radar.

Generation proxmox?

Gen X managed to blame everything they did on the boomers
-
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. Sorry guys but you are old.
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. Especially zoomer 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.

My gen x ass was coming to post this exact thing. Well done.
Me: I wanna jump off a bridge
My biological mother: Want me to drive you there?
