I think most of GenX were just crushed by the boomers, you just have to listen to GenX music to see how fatalistic and powerless they were. When Millenials came around, they started to have enough distance to the boomers to do their own thing.
And i really have the highest of hopes for GenZ and beyond.
You’re right, 30 year old boomers were ruining your life at the time, not the 70 year old politicians etc.
I’ll tell you about my life, every Gen X I’ve ever met is closer to a Boomer than a Millenial in their mindset. Even the lefter ones who went and volunteered in some developing country and did all pretend make the world better shit.
Gen X here too, Lock him up!

Gen X came right after the Baby Boomers, just as Millennials didn’t run society for Zoomers, neither did Boomers run it for X’ers.
So no, you weren’t overshadowed and made helpless by them, many of you outright relate with them just the same as I would a Zoomer.
Gen X was the last generation to get a chance at the dream life of a family, a house, and a career. They’re institutionalised.
Please don’t try to tell me about my life. You couldn’t be more wrong.
