As a late GenX 90s kid: Fuck you for forgetting us AGAIN.
I believe were called Xennials.
Bro stealing the remote from your little brother who was watching doug to watch MTV was not being a 90s kid. You had punk rock, give us something.
But this specifically is calling out getting the title of millennial, why would you expect gen X to be a part of the meme?
We were 90s kid first, we fucking founded the council.
I'm not trying to start shit, but wouldn't all people who were 90's kids start the council at the same time due to how time flows?
If we are adopting the 'media culture' view, then you need to at least be around 6 to start making the abstract connections necessary to make lasting memories about media.
So in 91, some '90's kids' are turning six and able to effectively even be cognizant of a council, whereas some 90s kids are yet to be born.
Or all generational cadres are made up arbitrary bullshit but if you watched Ducktales AND Rescue Rangers, and knew bugs bunny when he was still racist, then it is likely you and I will have a lot more in common than 90s kids who knew Spongebob and Blues Clues.
Okay boomer
Weaksauce, try harder.
Or maybe you are just bad at math, who knows?
It's a joke
For you maybe, for me that's fighting words.
NONE of you has had to deal with as many years of boomer bullshit as I have. NONE.
You think shit's bad for you now? Imagine turning 50 and being in the same economic position that all you millennials whine about. At least the economy has a chance to recover before you retire. None of my cadre have that kind of time left.
Some older GenX did make their wad before things got bad but literally the 3rd month of my IT career when the dotcom bubble burst.
If I could say to you what I really want to say, I'd get banned. If you're brave enough come to my sub and reply to what I'm about to post.
Calm down, nerd.
For you maybe, for me that's fighting words.
Then you are the source of most of your frustration.
You think shit's bad for you now?
I didnt say anything about anything.
If you're brave enough come to my sub and reply to what I'm about to post.
Lol okay tough guy.
Chillout this is a meme thread. No one is talking shit about Boomers, Gen X, Millenials or Zoomers. It's a comically inoffensive meme.
Then you are the source of most of your frustration.
No, and just writing pithy things doesn't make them true. Your life is a meme and you have forgotten how to communicate without them.
Lol okay tough guy.
What the FUCK is with all of you shitbags assuming my gender? I thought we didn't do that here... Do I have to move over to Blahaj?
Your life is a meme and you have forgotten how to communicate without them.
You know nothing about me. Why are you raving like a lunatic?
No, and just writing pithy things doesn't make them true.
You've gotten mad about the gender thing now in our short correspondence. I think you are just looking for a fight.
assuming my gender
I don't know what group of "shitbags" you're referring to but you sound like an angry old man.
Dude, relax
At least the economy has a chance to recover before you retire. None of my cadre have that kind of time left.
Don't worry, it won't; the issue is not with what people associate with economy, that one is booming, just look at how the market is developing. But the wealth pools at the top and there's no political will to change that.

Which is why I advocate for 'Nourriture à base des riche', in minecraft, of course.
I will be voting blue, no doubt, but American Democrats are considered slighty right as compared to the rest of the world, so I have no illusions that will change anything.
We truly are the forgotten generation.
If you'd stop being the majority of conservative social media personalities we'd stop trying to forget you, you Charlie Kirk looking goofy motherfuckers.
Although it is fun to eat popcorn while the millennials and the boomers yell at each other.
Yeah, but as a member of Gen X, we're the last to be able to own property.
Swings and roundabouts, innit?
Sure that's possible for older GenX.
Xennials like myself had barely a few years (in my case months) before the dotcom bubble ruined our one generational leg up.
If I had been smart and dumped IT and went back to school for writing, I'd probably have a house, but stupid autistic me wanted to fucking be a computer person...
Tech pays just fine. Maybe not as much as being a lawyer, but there are people who make £50-100k per year working in tech as programmers, engineers, or professors. That's a reasonable salary for most of the country. I know there are people in America making way more, though that does have to cover health care.
Not if you were caught in the middle of Florida when IBM and everyone else pulled out from the dotcom crash, flooding the entire state with thousands of career IT people WITH FUCKING IBM ON THEIR RESUMES and you are a naive little autist with literally zero support fresh out of college.
Sure there are parts of the world my experience would have landed me a living wage.
Not in florida in the 90s. I never broke the equivalent of £30k till I crawled out of that humid hellhole.
I never recovered and people never seem to tire of dismissing it all as my fault.
I was in the same place experiencing the same thing, hell we probably ended up working together doing trivial jobs surrounded by people grossly overqualified. Things did end up better eventually for me, sorry to hear it didn't for you. We got the short end of the stick there for sure.
You're talking about things that happened in the 90s. If you are still struggling now 3 decades later because of that then I have to question if you are the problem. I know people about my age (I was born in 2001) getting mortgages working in tech without even a proper computer science degree, just doing desktop servicing and repair. There have been some rough times recently with people getting fired after the pandemic ended and with the AI boom. However there have also been new opportunities thanks to AI. I am getting funded to do a 3 year PhD with a 19K a year bursary thanks to AI hype. If there is an AI bust that just means more jobs for regular programmers as companies realize that replacing them with LLMs wasn't a good idea. If not then anyone who can make or work with AI models is quids in.
I have never worked in or been to America so I have no idea what has or hasn't happened in Florida before I was born, nor do I care. Given that was three decades ago you shouldn't really care either. If it's that big of problem can't you "move state" since America is supposed to be so big and diverse? For me to leave the UK which is much smaller I would need to go through immigration. There are booms and busts in all markets and always will be until we can overthrow capitalism.
Nice try troll, hit the sticks.
I am not a troll. I am talking from my own personal experience. It is good though when the trash takes itself out.
