11 Things That Once Commanded Respect For Gen X But Are Now Almost Meaningless
Nothing lasts forever.
Gen X was born in the years spanning from 1965 to 1980, making its members between 44 and 59 years old. They’ve traded in skate parks for office jobs, establishing themselves as undeniably grown. Gen Xers are no longer the disillusioned, shaggy-haired rebels they once were. They're now parents who shepherded their kids from school to soccer practice and traded in their flannels for newer flannels. At this stage in the game, many of the things that once commanded respect for Gen X are now almost meaningless.
Technology has advanced so quickly that pretty much anything that was considered cutting-edge during Gen X’s youth is now obsolete. There’s been a sea change in social values. Important cultural markers don’t hold the weight they once did, and now, they’re hidden in Gen X’s collective memory, just like their Sega cartridges, sitting in boxes in their basement along with their hazy recollection of a time long past.

The only thing on the list that was true was having a big CD collection. All the rest of it was just shit that was too far in the future for me to care about.

Oh look, another listicle that makes sweeping generalizations about millions of people.
Those are always so helpful.

This was obviously written by a Millennial hoping to validate their vision of a future in which they never have to work hard at anything, never extend themselves in any way, can lay around in a WFH job - in between job jumps - get paid big bucks, be granted lots of time off to nurse a perma-depression - which they'll do with increasing amounts of pharmaceuticals tailored to their neuroses - etc etc etc - you get the picture - all while going on and on about how early generations had it so much easier than they.
