The whole point of Gen X was, and continues to be, a negation of being forced into Baby Boomerdom against one's will.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I picture Generation X as young adults living in a state of perpetual adolescence.
Will Generation X and the Millennials do a better job running the world than the boomers have? Let's hope so.
It does not have to be that the greatest generation is behind us. It does not have to be that our children will have a lower standard of living. It will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that.
The generation that comes next is always going to rebel against the generation that came before, and they're always going to be at odds with each other.
Gen Y is really quite distinct from Gen X; it's really self-involved and very narcissistic - their cameras are filled with pictures of themselves; Facebook, it's about me. It's a generation that's been pampered by their parents and their schools, given prizes for just taking part.
Each generation has a backlash against the generation before.
Each generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expense of other generations.
I'm on the younger end of Gen X, and for me, growing up gay was not cool.
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Generation X is dead. It has come to mean anyone aged 13 to 55 years old.
