Why is Generation X never talked about?

Baby Boomers get all the hate for rigging the system and hoarding wealth. Millenials get plenty of hate for failure to launch and killing so many industries. Gen Z gets constantly shite on for being lazy social media addicts with no work ethic.

What is Gen X's schtick? Why are they largely ignored?

Gen X just likes to bitch about all the other generations.

Probably our lack of ever doing anything notable

Because we were ignored by our boomer parents to be latch key kids.

Too busy getting pegged by old economy “stu”.

I realize old economy Steve is the official term in the meme. However, let’s face it deep down they are all not cool enough to be Steves and are just prostrate Stus.

B/c we've carried this country the last 15-20 years as the generation before us is dying off and the one after us isn't worth Jack shite.

Actually, the hallmark of Gen X was apathy and a general disconnect from the need to be seen of the boomers. The millennials are the biggest attention whores of all time and the Z's are insane so Gen X just gets lost in the madness.

All of the above, to your point.

Gen X is slowly accepting the fact that we are now the only adults in the room and will be changing the literal/metaphorical diapers of the Boomer and Z populations for the rest of our lives.

Who do you think started shitting on Boomers/Millenials/Gen Z.

Sarcasm, shitting on others, disgust with everyone and everything…that’s our schtick.

Since we’re pretty much the parents of most Gen Z kids, people view us as terrible parents for being more liberal with allowing our kids to have access to social media which has allowed for the rise of woke culture. It’s ironic considering that we were the last generation to grow up before there was an Internet, as Windows wasn’t commercially available until the mid-90s and Gen X people were already in their mid to late 20s by that point

Last generation worth a shite.
Proud to have experienced some of the best music, movies, etc.

Everything is such shite now, almost enjoying watching it all go down the toilet. The younger generations are going to get the society they deserve.

Xillenials are the really forgotten about generation. Those born from 1978-1983 are considered to be a blend of both millennial and generation x.

We're wedged between two totally self absorbed generations, with a third coming up. And we don't need/want the attention anyway.

Older millennials, yes.

Young millennials are garbage.
