Nobody ever remembers Gen X

Generation self defined by apathy and nihilism gets overlooked?
- Generation "Mentions not getting mentioned any time people talk about generations"
  
  Generation bitches and whines about being ignored while being the largest voting bloc behind the return of fascism
- Meh. Whatever.
Where's Gen X?
Oh right. Forgotten.
- Traitors. They joined with the Boomers once they all turned 30.
  
  W-what? Cmon, I'm slave labor here. I have no agency whatsoever.
- Not forgotten, just not relevant
- The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.
  Edit: lol at people who are downvoting and taking my comment seriously. It's a jab at Gen X not being mentioned at all in mainstream discourse of generation fight amongst boomers, millenials and zoomers. I don't know what nerves I have hit but I am owning it.
  
  I wish Gen X would shut the fuck up like you say they do. Reeks of desperate middle child every time.
  
  the generation war is not real, just distraction from the class war.
  
  False.
  I am eating peanut butter pretzels.
Gen X: "First time?" meme.
Every generation thinks they invented dark and surreal humor and without fail people who should know better act likes its some new and unique thing... it's more of an anomaly IMHO if a generation doesn't do this.
- Yeah but instead of joking about suicide like a normal person, boomers write confusingly veiled songs about it and pretend they're family friendly.
  Looking at you, David Bowie! Space Oddity isn't for children!
  
  I feel like Boomers' jokes about hating their spouse is thinly veiled suicidality jokes. Like, they're giving big "I did everything I was meant to and I hate my life" energy
  
  You know the sayings: "We're standing on the shoulders of giants" and "he walked so we could run" etc.
Joking?
Just gonna put on my plaid shirt and strum mournfully on a guitar now.
- That makes you a millennial right? This is the hipster vibe you're going for?
- Me: I wanna jump off a bridge
  My biological mother: Want me to drive you there?
  💀
- My gen x ass was coming to post this exact thing. Well done.
Gen X managed to blame everything they did on the boomers
I made a millennial joke in front of my coworkers after a two month break. (They have said waaaay worse). Anyway they HR’d me and I almost got a free vacation to the grippy sock hotel. Now I keep my mouth shut. They’ll never see it coming! Assholes.
- What was the joke and what are they not going to see coming?
  
  “Probably better to die than pretend like I can afford a house before I’m 90” or something. Not those exact words.
- That end is a bit ominous, you alright?
  
  I have a reason I have to get up. I joked about being able to buy a house before I died. Not that I want to get up. But I’m obligated.
- Do a flip!
Its not like most of us care we are not mentioned in the same place these losers are.
- Exactly the point of GenX, please keep ignoring us. It's why we dress in black.
  
  Is that the reason? I just prefer not to wear light colors that get visibly dirty so easily.
- And this is why we don't
Gen X, the least worst generation
- Generation proxmox?
Hey, blame Kurt Cobain about why Gen X takes it too seriously. You also can't joke with them about using too much heroin without a diatribe about Kate Moss and Anthony Kiedis
- I’ll never forgive Gen-X for making shitty depressing grunge music inescapable in my early years.
