3 Things as a Gen X’er I’m Too Old to Give a Sh*t About
Does anyone else my age feel the same way?
This could be a regular series so I may continue this in future articles since the items I find to be annoying to me at my age could be endless.
Over and over again I catch myself muttering “I’m too old for this sh*t.”
And as the title mentions — I’m Gen X.
I grew up as a latchkey kid and supposedly I’m a part of the most overlooked generation. We’re known as the generation who is known to be cynical, so this article seems to fit my generational profile.
Which brings me to the first thing in life I’m too old to give a sh*t about.
I’m Too Old to Give a Sh*t About Which Generation You Belong To
Every week I see articles about working with Millennials, how to cope with Gen Z, when the last of the Silent Generation is supposed to pass away, or what Gen Alpha is (sigh, I didn’t know that generation EXISTED before writing this article).
“Every generation trash-talks younger generations. Baby boomers labeled Generation X a group of tattooed slackers and materialists; Generation Xers have branded millennials as iPhone-addicted brats.” — Neil Blumenthal
