    As a GenX-er: You’re hearing things about us? Usually, we get ignored. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard stories about “the generations: Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Z” as if we don’t exist.

      Same, and I’m Gen X. What I sometimes hear (from Gen Z and Gen Y) is the usual BS narrative about how we (all of us, apparently) are responsible for things like donnie and the state of the Republican Party in general.

      But yeah, mostly Gen X is completely overlooked. Give it time and I’m sure we’ll be the new boomers when it comes to ageist nonsense.
