Those born between 1961 and 1981 were originally labeled “13’ers” by social scientists, who saw them as unlucky and star-crossed. Marketers settled on referring to them as “Gen-X,” with “X” symbolizing an unknown variable and undesirability.

Gen-X is the most aborted generation in American history, with one out of every three of its potential members having been aborted. Half of its parents are divorced or separated. Many were “latchkey kids,” fending for themselves after school. Now they are being asked to carry the burden of the largest government debt in history, bequeathed them by their parents.

It is easy to understand why Gen-X is cynical, skeptical, and scrappy.

Are they better on average at dancing?

Seeing as many already dodged a coat hanger?

where is that data coming from? hard to believe 33% of pregnancies were aborted during that time period.

I think it made us more resilient for sure. Parents were largely absent after school and on weekends. The last generation before helicopter parenting became a thing.

I'm a Gen X kid with Boomer siblings.. My parents were part of the Silent Generation, both born in the late 30's... I wasn't a latch key kid, and my parents weren't divorced. All of my friends parents were together as well. And they didn't put the country's current debt..

My dad was a "don't depend on the government for anything" type of guy.
