What the Fuck happened with Gen X?
What the Fuck happened with Gen X?
All I hear about is "boomers" this, "Millennials" that, "Gen Z" that, etc.
Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?
You're viewing a single thread.
Gen X is essentially just "boomer lite." So might as well lump them into boomers. That's been my experience working with many many gen x'ers over the years. They're similar in my opinion.
Lol no
Well somebody voted for Trump. I'm X but many X's must have gone MAGA. I can't say my generation is any better.
For the past 20 years all I've heard is "fundamental Christianity is dying" "things will get better as Boomers die off"
I thought those things were true until like 2 months ago. I’m sad to have been proven wrong by millions.
Many people across a wide swath of age ranges and demographics had to vote for Trump for the numbers to turn out how they did. I feel that trying to find some small subset of people to blame is a self defeating choice compared to truly trying to understand what drew people to vote for him rather than Harris.
It's not hard to understand.
The electoral system gives an advantage to rural states. Those states are significantly religious and want to ban abortion nation wide. Trump gave them the first step. They want the next.
It's true. Downvote me all you want.
There is a Segway between boomer and Gen X but every generation has an overlap. I'm a Gen X. It is a small generation that lived through the creation of the internet society. We were also responsible for 90s independent music labels and the production of the greatest music since the 60s (you are welcome btw). Boomers are post war nationalists that stopped learning anything new after their 18th birthday.

Oh, so they're like Gen Z's (like me), who are "Millennial-lite."
I think gen-z are the cool new improvement to millennials
We have all the patches and software actualization that millennials needed lol
Which is why more of you voted for Trump than in the past election?
"In the 2024 election, there was a distinct shift among people ages 18-29 towards Trump, especially in men. Fifty-six percent of young men were in favor of the former President in 2024, compared to only 41% in 2020."

At least previous generations waited until middle age before turning hard right. (The I got mine vote screw everyone else vote.)
So... you've quoted that both Gen X and Gen Z voted more for Trump than last time. Perhaps the issue isn't specific generations, but a larger turn out for Trump across most demographics?
Or you can always keep looking for reasons to get upset at strangers you don't know for demographics they belong to that they can't control. Very bold. We'll have to see what the crowd thinks when it hits the fashion runway in Paris.

My point was it isn't a Gen X, Y or Z thing.
Kids thinking they're better than Boomers are deluding themselves. We have the proof it's getting worse, not better.
Weon, no soy yankee ni vivo en Yankeelandia ¿De que vaina me estás hablando?
Rising Nazism isn't limited to the US.
And yet, you only mentioned the American Elections and not any other election on the world.
