Because it doesn't make any sense.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

That’s because you’re not stupid.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

I think they're angry that the people of the past wanted to create a better future? Or that they can't ride fast and do heroin. IDK toss up.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's just "this generation did [nonsense], so now this generation [nonsense]" to start intergenerational strife in the comments. Which seems to have succeeded relatively well.

picture is one who died of neither

Do people not know anymore who Curt Cobain was or how he died?

Of course, he was shot by Courtney Love’s dad.

Gen-xer here. Grew up wearing one all the time. Also rode in the back of a pick-up plenty of times (sans seatbelt). Fuck off with your horribly conceived inter-generational rage bait.

I concur IDC wtf anyone does except harm others and throw hate, looking your way GOP group of pedophiles Republicans and you billionaires, your lucky most in this country are gullible window lickers

I'm whats known as a Xennial. Half Gen-X, half Millenial.

Boomers can go fuck themself for electing Reagan before I was born to tell them how wrong they are.

Gen-Z seems pretty alright though. Good to see they hate AI as much as we do.

And I've been told that gen alpha isn't having sex, and it's pissing off the boomers. Which I find really really weird. Why do the boomers care if a bunch of teenagers fuck?

And at first I thought it was about social security. But even if Gen Alpha fucks right now, today, and has a kid 9 months from now, that kid won't be paying into social security for 17 years AT THE EARLIEST!!! That's assuming they get a job the day they turn 16.

Boomers, I need you to understand something. You're going to die. Thats not a threat, it's an eventuality. It's 100% guarenteed. And it's going to happen pretty quick. It's already happened for the older end of the boomers, and the ones who didn't live healthy.

I give it 10 years before the bulk of you are dead. And honestly, I can't wait. The sooner the boomers are off this planet the better.

And Gen-X has proven to me that just because you're old, doesn't mean you HAVE TO act like an entitled twat. Gen X is 50-65 right now, and very rarely do I see that age bracket THESE DAYS yelling at a fast food employee because Arbys discontinued their meat mountain sandwich. Look, I'm disappointed too! If boomers want to give themselves heart attacks, great. Go for it. But don't yell at Steve working front counter about it! 20 minutes ago he was mopping up the bathroom floor. I PROMISE you, he does not have the sway in arbys corporate culture to discontinue menu items.

Today, I don't see that with 55 year old Gen-Xers. But 20 years ago, that was a regular occurance with 55 year old boomers.

If you have to call yourself a Xennial, you are Gen X.

Edit: You can be upset all you want about it, Gen X-ers.

[–] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

or a millennial.

or someone on the cusp.

[–] gurty@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, millenials just call themselves millenials.

[–] gurty@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can say with absolute certainty that Gen X fits both the above pictures and absolutely not the bottom picture. They take themselves far too seriously.

[–] homes@piefed.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

How fucking dare you!

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I have absolutely no problem with wearing seatbelts. And they have nothing to do with gen x or heroin overdoses

[–] texture@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

broken spines? wtf are you on about?

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't get it, people don't wear seat belts any more?
