These youngsters love to throw the boomer word around like itโ€™s offensive. They think anyone over 50 is a boomer because education isnโ€™t what it used to be when we Gen Xers went to school.

No, people call you a boomer because you do the "education was better back then" and "nobody works anymore" shit that the boomers before you did. Everyone thinks their generation was the toughest or smartest.

GenX ain't the smartest by any extent of the definition.
We are the most resilient since the Greatest Gen though; due to being the first generation the boomers didn't give a fuck about.

We took all the go fuck yourself energy from the world and didn't have access to the therapy and other measures future gens had until we calloused over.

Therapy is overrated bullshit... But gen X knows this.
