Oh Lord please do not encourage our generation to start whining. Gen X voted for Trump more than any other generation, we are the ones most affected by FOX and other right wing propagandists. Maybe stop watching FOX & supporting wannabe dictators & you’ll be happier guys. 🤘

I blame Gen X very much for failing collectively as a generation from stopping the boomers. They never formed an identity that felt meaningful. Easily the most forgettable generation of the adult ones.

1979 here, i don't identify with any of this. I had an offline childhood, was able to buy a house at 22, as many of my generation. I think millennials had it much worse.

Hilarious, Gen X is the most adaptive toughest self reliant secure generation

Bruce Van Deventer :
Gen X is a lot smaller than millennials 65 million vs 73 million and millennials will likely outpace Gen X in wealth because millennials will inherit from a larger parent pool than Gen X.

Always remember, Gen x had to face the baby boomer bs first. All that is coming to fruition has always been a thorn for Gen x but we had no one to express too. Love millennials but trust me we get it as happened to us first

let’s travel :
Gen X here. Owning life. Traveling. Employing over 50 people in two businesses. Understanding the shift from the past to the future. Remembering the times before social media and cell phones and how great life was. We grew up with parents that let us do whatever we wanted. We don’t care about what other generations are doing or get involved in everyone’s business. We do us and we’re happy and full. Cheers.

The gen X has problems not recognized here on TikTok where they say they grew up drinking hose water and feral. X is not the magnificent bunch they want to be seen as, many are brainwashed steeped on fox screaming to be relevant again. It's over, support the young!

I'm pretty happy about being Gen X. The 90's were the best years, and growing up in the 80's was awesome!

Gen X had the misfortune of being born after the social revolutions of 1968 which had their parents raise an apolitical generation.

Xer here. Don’t trash us, join us. We’re definitely happy because we live and let live. We’re out here enjoying life cause that’s how we grew up. We’re not worried cause there’s no need.

Aren’t Gen X’rs going to inherit from the boomers? I hear it’s the biggest wealth transfer in history coming up.

GenX Rho :
As a 1965 GenXer: I have watched the culture change as I grew up. Watched my Dad lose his factory job and watched my mom become the breadwinner. Had plenty of LGBTQIA friends growing up. My 6th grade Chicago Suburb school became desegregated. I witnessed technology change as culture changes (or vis versa). I seen a lot in my 60 years. I wish I was a wordsmith so I could write a book! 📕

It would be easier to forget about gen x if gen x would ever stop talking about gen x.

As a Gen X, I’ve down significantly better and am happier than previous generations. I have the battle scars from boomers but I’m very content.

Unhinged capitalism foisted on us by Silent Gen and Boomer selfishness is the root. Let's toss that out and solve the problem.

I had a childhood that you can only read about in books - no curse here. I may not have generational wealth but I'm rich in many ways that some will never be. leave us out of this. let us be.
