1972 here.

Who would have thought the 1980s would seem like a simpler, more innocent time?

it's funny how Gen x talks about themselves. They make fun of millennials and how they lived with their parents for so long, yet that's the MO of gen xers. They are the original parents basement dwellers. For God sakes the made a SNL skits and a movie about it.

BTW I actually don't mind Gen x. As an old millennial and being born in the early 80s, we got in more with people born in the 70s than those born in the 90. Hence why the millennial generation needs to be split. And it's original definition needs to be kept. Those that came of age around the millennial. Not kids born in the 90s.

Well this doesn't compute. I, as a boomer, had you, a GenXer, for a child and then you had a child, a millennial - and you want to say you're the best generation. It appears you don't consider yourself a good parent by raising a millennial like you accuse me in raising you. If you turned out so great I must have done something right. If a millennial has fricked up this country then you must have done something wrong in raising him/her.

I feel like if you ever were fluent in DOS, gen X owns just as much of you as gen Y does.

on....Millennials as parents should be just right.


millennials are all betas with weak work ethic. They will be the worst parents. GenX as grand parents will have to save the day again

Funny, in the actual real world that exists outside of message boards, we usually get accused of being aggressive and having no respect for seniority. Doesn’t seem to mesh.

It's a mixed bag, as always. My 22 yr old son grew up with a pretty solid group of kids. Although they try to stay away from calling em kids these days because, ya know, kid = young goat. Anywau, so this group of human offspring, good solid young goats they are. He went to a 5A school in N.LA, so I did observe a relatively large sample size.

Now look, while that is indeed antithetical to the beta thing, you youngsters need to work on that. Take it from me, it'll get you nowhere. Make me get my belt damn it.

Except y'all failed in parenting. Now, you idiots bitch and complain about the generation y'all tried to raise, but failed to do so properly.

Seems to have worked out well for me thus far. When it stops working, I’ll reconsider

In my experience, the cleanest way to win a war with the fewest casualties is for the battle to be decided before the other side knows there was a battle to be fought in the first place

I do. Millennials are great if you are looking for passion and creativity. X’ers are great if you want foot soldiers who show up and keep their heads down. Boomers are great if you want people who have a rampant sense of entitlement because they have been doing things the same inefficient way for decades.
