Gen X is known to be the laziest generation if they're known at all. Y'all made zero lasting impact on society. You made no identity for yourselves so you just slouch into identifying with either of the surrounding generations. Most of you are just lazier Boomers.
Wow! That's a funny take. Us Gen. X raised ourselves, raised our siblings. Learned how to control our emotions, learned how to cook, clean while children. And learned how to play without the internet.
Then we built the web and everything that goes along with it. Whether Gen x and boomers you would have none of this that you're using a communicator right now. That phone your using was built by us. The databases that run this social app. Same. Pretty much everything you take for granted now that didn't exist for us was built by us.
Calling us lazy is ridiculous as every Gen x I know worked multiple jobs including myself and my wife. The grind was real as times were extremely tough in the '90s within 12% inflation at times and double digit unemployment. Things that people now wouldn't even be able to deal with. Gen Z is too concerned about their feeling and emotions to even be good workers today.
Tell me something gen Z has built.
LMAO you taking credit for things that either boomers or millennials did is exactly what I would expect from your generation.
Now that's funny. Let me guess. You weren't born yet to be around and see what they were doing. Millennials rode our coat trails and genz are emotional basket cases
No, I was there. Y'all had no coattails to ride, yet you're somehow more entitled than the Boomers.
Lol. That's funny. There was no entitlement when we were growing up. You fended for yourselves and everybody isn't special.
Yeah yeah and you drank from the hose... Blah blah
I hope your enjoyed your trophy that everybody got
Something Boomers and Xers gave out because they couldn't handle their kid not getting trophies? No we all understood how meaningless they were.
