    Gen X came right after the Baby Boomers, just as Millennials didn’t run society for Zoomers, neither did Boomers run it for X’ers.

    So no, you weren’t overshadowed and made helpless by them, many of you outright relate with them just the same as I would a Zoomer.

    Gen X was the last generation to get a chance at the dream life of a family, a house, and a career. They’re institutionalised.

        You’re right, 30 year old boomers were ruining your life at the time, not the 70 year old politicians etc.

        I’ll tell you about my life, every Gen X I’ve ever met is closer to a Boomer than a Millenial in their mindset. Even the lefter ones who went and volunteered in some developing country and did all pretend make the world better shit.
