[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 40 points 3 years ago (10 children) It’s OK, GenX is used to being forgotten or misunderstood. Lots of Millenials can’t tell the difference from a Boomer. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 years ago (8 children) Idk, I would say the older half of Gen X could almost be described as “Boomer Lite”. They didnt quite have it AS nice, but still definitely way better than anyone born in the 80’s or later. Not to mention their Boomer-like attitude… permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Duranie@midwest.social 16 points 3 years ago As an older Gen-Xer, who had married another older Xer far too young (because we were brought up that all we needed to do was get a job and life would be awesome) I can agree that some in my age range are definitely watered down boomers. Which is also a fair part of the reason why he's my ex husband now. As the mother of 3 Gen Z sons, I couldn't be more proud of the amazing men they're becoming, and couldn't be more disgusted about the conditions that some of my generation and those before me have created for them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 years ago (4 children) Slightly less offensive boomers permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 3 years ago (3 children) "Anybody older than me is a boomer." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 years ago More like anyone with a selfish mentality, that thinks everyone just has it as easy as them and those that don't reach the same status are doing it wrong. permalink fedilink source parent [+] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works -6 points 3 years ago (1 child) I'd go with owns property and acts better than everyone who doesn't permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] wombatula@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago You are mentally deranged if you think Gen X owns property, I know dozens of Millenials and Gen X both of which only a couple have property, and all of them inherited it from boomers recently.
