Talkin' 'bout my generation

[sabotabby]

Don't tell me I'm not X. I'm on the borderline between X and Y, but my mindset is pure X.

This rant is why.

Generation X is beyond all that bullshit now. It quit smoking and doing coke a long time ago. It has blood pressure issues and is heavier than it would like to be. It might still take some ecstasy, if it knew where to get some. But probably not. Generation X has to be up really early tomorrow morning.

Generation X is tired.

...

Generation X is used to disappointments. Generation X knows you didn’t even read the whole thing. It doesn’t want or expect your reblogs; it picked the wrong platform.

Generation X should have posted this to LiveJournal.

So I'm reblogging it on my LiveJournal. Hat tip to symbioid.

I find it's a case of parenting.

If your parents told you get to get outside and play dammit, you're Gen X.
If your parents told you outside was a scary place and OMG YOU MUST STAY INDOORS UNLESS SUPERVISED, you're Gen Y/Millenials whatever you call the next generation.**

** this definitions doesn't work if you actually lived somewhere unsafe but suburbia rarely is

Some people in the 79-83 are Gen X by that definition. Some are the next generation.

Huh. I was a latchkey kid, but there was also quite a bit of middle class pressure on me to do various lessons and such. So I'm still in between.
