I just want to be around to see self driving cars and cryonics become a reality. Maybe with an outside chance of the singularity. Growing up in the 90s was awesome and now we are old enough to have good jobs and not stuck somewhere being a sandwich artist or barista(millennial) and we're not old AF (baby boomers)

Most thought we would never grow old, so we partied and fricked up a lot.

Wish I was born 20 years earlier so I could be at a age old enough to get pissed when the toll both won't take my Damn quarters.

Gen Y are probably more lost.

X is holding the world together right now.

I was born a little too late, but I feel more like an X'er than a millennial.

I have a bonafide resume stretching back over a decade and was in my mid-20's before I got a smart phone.

Yeah, no shite.

My baby boomer dad had two muscle cars and a gig at Exxon when he was a teenager.

The Millennials will be. X will have some control. The Millennials will be fricked by social media and SJWs. Careers will be constantly ended.

Anyone born after 95 will have the benefit of us fricking up before them and their careers not being ruined. I'll honestly be shocked if we have a President who was born between 1982 and 1992.

We Generation Xers were originally labeled "slackers."

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a butterfly, so it will be with Millenials.

Nah we're the ones taking over now trying to clean up the fricking mess from the POS baby boomers and wondering why we're bothering considering we're handing things over to an even more worthless Millenials.

True and true but we are the generation that bridged a pretty big gap. Many of us started out learning typing in school and were writing code 5 years later.

No, but they created and parented the Useless and Piece of shite Millennials.
