Generation X is the most frequently forgotten generation whenever Generations discourse comes up. Now, all everybody cares about is Baby Boomers, Millenials, and Gen Z, and their various quirks and Gen X is so often ignored. And honestly? That’s probably for the best. Generation X used to be the “kids these days” who served as the punching bag for complaints about how the youth are bad now. I will give Gen X credit for having the angstiest “disaffected kids” media. Clerks, Reality Bites, Trainspotting: if there’s anything Gen X knows, it’s angst and lots of it! Now that Gen Xers are middle-aged, there is a lot less complaining about them from Boomers. Baby boomers have gone on to complain about every subsequent generation, a trend that Gen X so effortlessly started. If you were born between 1965-1980 and know you are superior because of it, these Generation X memes will bring you back to your childhood.
