re: Does everyone agree that Gen X is the most likable generation?

Benzodiazepines are not exclusive to any generation. Boomers loved them in the 80s.

that's the first thing I thought about too

Cameron Diaz is pretty likable:

I always thought I was a gen x guy (1980). Then science changes and now I’m a millennial.
We live in a fricked up world.

agree, not only because I’m Gen X, but because the hurdle is so damn low even our lazy, “don’t care about s**t”, arses stumbled right over it.
Yeah, it was easy for gen x to succeed. I'm not saying the work wasn't hard by any means, just that the work was available in abundance. It's likely available in good quantity today too, it's just that liberal arts majors aren't likely getting the jobs they thought they would...and they think they're worth more than they are. (It's not just liberal arts).
I make right around 100k in my engineering job now at 40 hrs a week. I've recently applied for way less paying part time jobs just to make more money because I have time available and desire to make more. Once positions come available in my career job, I will move up accordingly....until then a part timer I will be. I say all of this....as a millennial.

Not likable.

Gen X are pushover pussys. That why nobody cares about them.
Gen Xers are in their 40s and still play video games and cry over Star Wars trailers
Absolute losers

Sure, but remember 1990-93 time frame when early gen xers were just as whiny as millennials? Reference Reality Bites, Singles, or early seasons of Real World.
Difference is they got over it by about 96 or so.

Really wasn’t going for the “most likely to succeed” angle. That probably goes to the boomers who came of age when the job balance between blue and white collar jobs more closely matched the career intentions of most 18 year olds, so colleges weren’t over saturated with 3,000,000 psychology majors fighting for the same 20 jobs.
In some fields Gen X got screwed. In chemical engineering at my company I am going one of the few Gen X engineers. I was in the navy for nearly a decade so I hired on during the MONSTER hiring classes of (mostly millennials) in the late 2000’s.
Petrochemical hiring in the US was very low in the years between the oil crisis in the early 80’s and 2006-This only started to pick up because of the retiring boomers, and then further picked up with the shale boom in the early 2010’s. Effectively, even though oil prices are known daily, and it’s a gigantic industry, Gen X has been largely shut out of it (on the white collar side - the benefit of the blue collar side is you can join any industry at any time).

We’re Xillenials (1980-1987). The greatest micro generation of all time.

Gen X just has less people so by default you assume it’s better than others

That’s what happens when you’re the reasonable adult sandwiched between your strung out, broke 60 year old uncle and your a whiney, entitled, soft nephew.

We had our PC run from 90-93, and then PCU came out in 94 and killed it (is that movie really 25 years old? It seems more applicable today than it did in the 90’s?)
