Gen Xers Get Skipped Again And Yep, That's Exactly What They Expected Anyway

Baby Boomers have been running the country for nearly three decades. Some successes, a number of disappointments. It’s time to pass the baton to younger generations — Millennials & Gen Z. Pls join us for conversation tonite on @CNN with @ACCooper about my new book on subject.

And to Gen-X: keep the door locked, there's a swanson's TV dinner in the freezer if you get hungry and DON'T stay up past 10

What do you suggest Gen X does with the remainder of their lives? Asking for many friends.

'78 Trans Am screeches to a halt on david's front lawn, the eagle on the hood glinting in the morning sunlight, the piercing screams of Ratt abruptly halt, I jump out, flip back my mullet and yell
"What about GenX, asshole???"
with a double-bird flipped toward the sky.

Whatever

It's like society parked Gen X in front of the TV and promptly forgot about us for 40 years. But we're cool with that. https://t.co/lPCFQr3o0w

Gen Xers are just tougher. Saltier. I was a teenager in the 80s dammit! I’m wore a shirt with a zipper on it. Tough as nails.

I danced to Rock Lobster

Stole my Grandpa’s Chevette.

Would fight in the Friendly’s parking lot. Quite a bit actually. Bet pink slips on our Jim Dandys

Gen X is trending.
Gen X doesn't care.

LOL Gen X can't catch a break, man. This isn't the first time we've been overlooked, but you know. Whatever, man. It's chill. pic.twitter.com/QxgtDPYX5q

Please, continue to ignore us. We have a lot of things we need to do and generational conflict seems both boring and exhausting.

Love, Gen X. https://t.co/4flw7sZg5F

Yep, those are all the generations. No one in between. https://t.co/1D2VSWVdJh

Gen X grew up without parents. We’re wolves. We know how to govern and execute.

Boomers have been ignoring Gen X since they gave birth to us. https://t.co/jblmBkgEO2

It's the most Gen X thing ever for a Boomer to just forget about them. 😂🤣 https://t.co/iN2qcyfnt7 pic.twitter.com/9xvSmtL1hT

I love how everyone just skips Gen X, even though we've been cleaning up the two previous generation's shit for years. https://t.co/wCVgpLpxJ6

Wow!!! Gen X in our 40s & 50s now, but still being treated like latchkey kids! Just let yourself in the house, pop a TV dinner in the microwave, do your homework, & turn on C-SPAN so you can watch Millennials & Gen Z run the country until Mama & Papa Boomer get home from work! 😡 https://t.co/foOx57D8eR

Being ignored is a feature, not a bug, of being Gen X. https://t.co/CJZbliucEU
