Geriatric Millenial

[fly girl]

I see Twitter got all kinds of upset over the term "Geriatric Millennial" that was used in a Medium article. Oh those millennials born 1980-85 felt attacked today. All kinds of knickers in a bunch.

So, to see what the fuss was about, I read said article. Here it is in case you missed it:

And I laughed and I laughed. Why is it you ask? Over 50+ years and going strong! Still sliding under that radar. Not one mention of Gen X which is crazy because we fit right in it that gap of bridging a divide between Baby Boomers and Millennials/GenZ. Oh yeah, that is right, you have to remember we exist first. LOL, silly me.

Well, my fellow Jan Bradys, I say we text George Glass and see if he wants to come over laugh about being a mystery of a non existent generation.





Seriously, I love my generation and that we just roll our eyes and move along. We are rad. Just sayin'...
Fellow Gen X'ers UNITE!!

I guess it could be worse than being part of the forgotten generation. At least no one is complaining about us all the time.

Gen X is the forgotten generation. No ones cares about us. There isn't enough of us.

We had the best music growing up though!!

The best part is we really don't care.

Damn straight!

Gen X is awesome!

Let them forget about us! We don’t need their opinions or validation to be awesome.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Gen X - the most obscure generation. Professionally and politically oppressed by our Boomer overlords and now rendered socially and culturally irrelevant by our own Millennial children...

This one made me laugh, but since my two favorite people in the world are a boomer & a millennial, I guess this one doesn't apply to me. The others I can totally relate to.

It took me a minute to remember what Generation I'm in - oh yeah, Gen X - ha ha. You just don't even hear it mentioned that often. I was born in '79.

I didn't even know we were Gen X, until I saw it on the DIS. I've never heard anyone mention it IRL, but I hear people referencing Boomers & Millennials all the time.

I remember hearing it used more back when I was in my early to mid-20's... which was awhile ago now. lol

I didn't even hear it then. Apparently, I was living under a rock back then.

Hilarious. How obscure is your own generation when you don't even know you belong to it?
