      GenX here. So, I get to be suppressed by the Boomers my whole life and, just when the pay-out is due to arrive, it will switch to persecution by the millennials as payback for the crimes of my abusers.

      Awesome.

        What payout?

        If your a conservative gen-x then you’ve been winning this whole time, if you’re a progressive genx then things are about to go your way.

        Plus I’ve never heard anyone make fun of genx anyways, millennials mostly blame boomers and recognize that genx never had a chance.

          …culturally, millenials are an echo of the baby boomers and i expect they’ll go the same way as they age out: there will be no progressive flourish, they’ll just shift its branding to embrace their own status quo…

          …washed-up wannabe-hippie sellouts are a perennial refrain throughout history…

            things can change dude, have some faith, fight the fight, wait and see.

            Ive had conversations with boomers and millennials about the same topics and the sentiments have been very different in my experience.

            Also its easy to be complacent and conservative when you have money and a comfortable lifestyle, which most of the milenials I know have never had.

        Don’t worry, you likely won’t be persecuted by millenials; because everyone always forgets about Gen X, remember? ;)
