Average Gen Xer is a FightClubesque cynic/misanthrope. The much more accurate critique is that Gen X were the generation that turned recreational drugs into the pill-popping junkie shit that all hillbillies do now v. weed and beer and coke, which were more social and less intentionally self-destructive.

We're MFEing about generational merit. Obviously significant figures of a specific age (see e.g. Earl upthread you faggotnigger) are going to play a part in the discussion. The ones I mentioned really serve the function of being avatars of entire companies full of Gen Xers, built by Gen Xers and who grew off the customer dollars provided primarily by Gen Xers. In other words, it's as simple as pointing to the biggest technology firms and stores of wealth in the global economy to make anyone who argues that Gen X can't do tech look like a drooling retard. You want to cite some longitudinal studies and get hardcore about the data to back up the "tech savvy" of Millennials? Have at it, hoss. Otherwise go get your shine box, you queer. |

The older generation is less computer literate for obvious reasons. The younger generation has had dumbed down, app-ified and Apple-fied technology. (No .ini editing, driver troubles, and settings fuckery for them.)
There's a spike of younger people pouring into software development and related areas, but that's small compared to the overall population. |

Someone born in 80/81 who is still unmarried and living in an urban area and renting an apartment is probably more millennial in terms of habits and life outlook. |

Date: May 12th, 2017 2:19 PM Author: Pungent Fat Ankles 35 = end of Gen X is credited. It's the borderline. There are two easy and perfect tests: 1) are you old enough to remember a time before hip hop and the racial context period pre-1991 when no blacks were on MTV, people thought baggy shorts were "too thuggish," cross-over rap music that was played on the radio/MTV was not yet allowed to be explicitly about selling drugs and gangbanging, you remember the Rodney King riots and understood in real time what it meant for race relations. 2) You were an adult on 9/11 and identified with the people trying to get out of the towers as potentially peers or at least older siblings v. you watched it on your school classroom TV and thought about the people in the towers as peers of your parents. 35 is basically the cut off in 2017.

|
Date: May 12th, 2017 3:29 PM Author: Pearl spectacular library I still feel like there's a weird cusp generation between 1977-1985 who aren't really Gen X and aren't really millennials. I think you really start to become a millennial if you graduated college at a time when your job prospects got fucked to shit by the Great Recession, but you can't be Gen X unless you're the type of person who prefers phone over text communications.
Someone born in 1978/1979 graduated college in May 2001, the summer before 9/11 happened. They're barely adults, but could have been working in those towers in entry-level roles. I like the "adults versus peers" test, but a 21yo entry-level employee isn't going to view their 31yo older sibling / boss as a peer.
Someone born in 1978/1979 graduated high school in 1997, which is around when AOL Instant Messenger came out and everyone started getting email addresses. Another interesting litmus test is whether you remember communicating as an adult using nothing with a .com address.
And text messaging. Do you remember having adult (however you define that) interactions prior to text messaging (which started to proliferate in 2006/2007)? |
|
Date: May 12th, 2017 4:24 PM Author: Pungent Fat Ankles Not texting as an adult is a third great test I haven't heard before that militates in favor of late 70s = Gen X. A fourth, and maybe the best is did you understand what a big change it was when Nevermind came out and GnR went from Gods of the universe to irrelevant in the span of six months.
FWIW I'm late 70s and watched the south tower fall on a TV in an office tower downtown (albeit not in NYC) and definitely related to the people in the buildings. Not in the sense that I knew what it was like to have kids and a mortgage, but in the sense that I knew what it would feel like to wake up and get dressed and drag yourself into work and that's where you were at mentally when the planes hit. If you have to be exactly 29-38 years old on 9/11 you're defining generation too narrowly. The point is the big era defining moments and how you experienced them. |
|
Date: May 12th, 2017 4:41 PM Author: Pearl spectacular library Interesting. I'm 1981.
I knew Nirvana was a big deal, and I knew GnR was a big deal, but I didn't notice that Nevermind made GnR irrelevant. I didn't even realize GnR were irrelevant when I was in high school, but maybe I didn't pay enough attention.
Around 1994, I first heard this thing called "modern rock" which didn't sound like Zeppelin and didn't sound like Whitesnake and didn't sound like Paula Abdul, but I didn't feel like it displaced anything, except maybe Roxette.
I was an upperclassman in college when 9/11 happened.My first thought was "oh shit I hope my parents are OK" (since they could reasonably have been at the WTC on 9/11 given their work patterns/schedules), not "oh shit I hope all of these friends I know are OK". I had worked, but only summer internships. So I knew what it was like to drag myself into work, but only for 2-3 months at a time. And at that point I was too young to have made any older-generation friends/peers.
But I'm not really a millennial, because I didn't get skullfucked by the recession and can't figure out snapchat. |

Date: May 12th, 2017 4:13 PM Author: Pearl spectacular library Gen X was the last generation to really reap, as adults, the benefits of work-hard-play-hard Boomer GC professional culture. Because Gen X was the last generation where hard work and toeing the line and not fucking up could reasonably correlate to financial and professional success. ONE WRONG MOVE didn't fuck you totally if you were otherwise on top of your shit.
They'd go to their raves on weekends and be up early on Monday with a tie on, ready to CRUSH THE WORKWEEK. Because it mattered. Gen X women bought into have-it-all feminism and wore their sneakers to work. Because they could see a ladder to climb and weren't senior enough to smack against the glass ceiling (which was real back in the 80s and early 90s).
No one telecommuted, partly because there wasn't the technology to.
Even Gen X's creative rebellions (punk, raves, hip-hop) eventually got corporatized. But that's what Gen X was - take an EDGY AND COOL idea, then sell it out to the man: angst centered around this practice was evident in late-GenX films like Wayne's World and Reality Bites.
Not so coincidentally, Gen X was the mall era. Catalog brands like J. Crew had yet to gain mainstream popularity.
TL; DR: Gen X are the worst shills for GC. Worse even than the Boomers, because the Boomers actually created something and were trailblazers and risk takers. |

Date: May 12th, 2017 6:35 PM Author: Pungent Fat Ankles This has a whiff of accuracy but is ultimately bullshit. It's true that *pockets* of Gen X did reap the benefits of late 20th century emerging GC striverocracy. But a) your big prize for that was not boomer level rewards of e.g. moron who gets to be a biglaw partner with a $5M book of business; the Gen X version was a HYS grad who gets to be the service partner for moron boomer. And b) Gen X made concerted efforts to not be GC tools and build a real economy around the internet and GC, (((Finance))) and boomers all conspired to make sure that the worst ideas were funded and many better ideas were crowded out. If VC had been what it became in the 90s during the 70s there is no Steve Jobs. Only boomers get away with dropping out of fucking Reed College and acid tripping across Asia for a decade before deciding to buckle down and follow their passions.
And you listen here you fucking Millennial. Reality Bites and fucking Wayne's World are Boomers version of Gen X---no surprise it's a movie about Gen X aged characters that's really about baby boomers aging and bankrolled by (((babyboomers))). The actual Gen X cinematic cannon was Slacker/Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction and the corporatization late stage was Fight Club. Whatever else you want to say about Gen X, the central question that the art of the period focused on wasn't selling out. It was existential angst, being overwhelmed by media saturation and navigating it all at a surface level, and resisting the urge to just shoot up. I notice you didn't even try to talk shit about Gen X's still dominant music.
And the corporatization point is moronic. First of all there's no generation that sold out its revolution more gleefully than boomers. Second, when did raves ever get corporatized? More like they just died out because they were a hassle to plan and attend. Third, saying hip hop was "corporatized" is like saying that the handheld personal computing device was corporatized. Yes it became popular and ubiquitous but it also basically killed off rock music that had dominated for 50 years prior. That's not selling out; that's taking over. |

EDIT: and I know you guys all hate this, but the AIDS -> gay rights and marriage change was all Gen X and it was pretty transformative and really, really fast. |

Date: May 12th, 2017 7:32 PM Author: Pungent Fat Ankles Agree but my point in response is that by the late 90s anyone who still thought this way was an aging boomer who didn't understand the internet. It's true that cynicism and anti-striverism was part of the core Gen X mentality/ethos when the term was coined and popularized in the early 90s, but by the time Gen X had fully entered adulthood in the back half of the 90s the generational identity started to coalesce around all the changes Gen X caused--grunge/hip hop, the internet and programmer culture, anti-corporatism and indie/local/organic preferences in aesthetics and consumption, and yes, that gay people should not go to jail or pay more taxes or be prevented from adopting.
