As a late gen Xer who was a teen in the 90s and was the black sheep of the family (too punk, too weird, hung out with the outcasts, etc) I can clearly see this divide between myself and my siblings. We are all college educated but my brothers who are 4 and 8 years older than I am are on planet MAGA. It’s like we are strangers now. Even with their college degrees I wouldn’t put it past them to become flat earthers because some bro dude on a podcast told them it wa true and they not only bought that, but also the supplements the guy was hawking.

I always thought of myself as an old gen x'er, born in '65. I was always proud of my generation-until now. Gen x deserves to be mocked and forgotten for this. What miserable ingrates. I like interior design for example and wonder how many of the designers and vendors are actually fucking shitty people. A lot of them fall into this age group.
