All I hear about is “boomers” this, “Millennials” that, “Gen Z” that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

    Boomer is a frame of mind and enough Gen Xers fit that frame of mind to get the label.

    You wouldn’t be catching strays if Musk wasn’t Gen X, some of the worst people in our congress were Gen X like Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, and outside of congress idiots like Governor Ron DeSantis are Gen X. Gen X is nearly 40% of the House Representatives and a quarter of the Senate.

    Some of the most fucked up assholes on the political landscape today are Gen X so they deserve the “Boomer” label.
