GEN X never stopped mocking Gen X. If you want to mock us, be prepared for us to be all, like, "You call THAT snark? Step aside, amateur" and then riff self-loathingly on ourselves for a solid hour
As someone coming right at the end of it, I do feel like Gen X has a lot of myths about itself that it tells and I am never entirely sure if it believes them or not.
We were the slacker gen because many of us graduated into a recession. I still remember how we suddenly turned into an overworked generation leading up to the dot com days.
