Are gen xer's the forgotten generation or did they all die from alcoholism?

We always hear about boomers and millenials but what about gen xers? Do they not know how to use the internet or are they still chain smoking at dive bars listening to hair metal? Where are they? Starting to think they dont exist. Do I need to blast some whitesnake to get them to leave their trailer park?

No hate gen exers

Nah, some of these young people are just too stupid to know that the people they’re calling Boomers are actually Gen X’ers.

Their men seem like they're doing okay.

Gen X women are actually the exact age group of "Karens."

I get along with Gen X, probably because I’m an older millennial. I grew up on 90s music/shows/movies, and had a lot of older friends (mostly through my brother) who would show me 80s stuff (and classic music/movies) all the time. The internet wasn’t a big part of my life until I was midway through college.

So far Gen X has mostly just been skipped over. Boomers stayed. And stayed. And stayed.

Then when they finally are leaving Millennial are more likely to get moved up into those jobs.

I’d argue that gen X had more reason to whine. When I hit the job market in 2009, I would call or walk in for many applications I sent (well over 200, but walked into maybe 70ish). Drove around in my suit for months. Some managers were more upfront than others- they told me “not only are we not hiring, but we’ve let go of many of our employees”. Those employees were likely gen Xers. Not getting a job is hard, but I felt for people losing one after years of effort. And at their age, they were likely responsible for kids, etc. brutal.

But that's been a pretty consistent scenario for every gen throughout the past 50yrs or so if you look at unemployment rates in the U.S.

Didn't Generation X bring us grunge and Fred Durst? Not sure how I feel about this.

Can't speak for the whole generation. I'm a old millennial, and the guys that were 5 years older than me growing up spent way too much time trying to act "hard". It was an extremely try-hard era. People were friendly as long as you also put up the "cool guy" act, otherwise they were making fun of you. It was pretty pathetic tbh. A lot of those guys ended up never growing up.

Basically everyone always had this look on their face:



It was obnoxious.

The reason I haven't used the internet for social contact is because I'd rather talk to humans in person. If it wasn't for corona, I would not have stumbled lurking here and elsewhere. So, yeah, little behind the tech-savvy era, but old school living still works for me in the real world. Different strokes for different folks.

We go unnoticed because we don't feel the need to tell everyone how great our generation is every five minutes like Boomers do.
