    Nobody ever really talks about Gen X.

    There are no widespread positive opinions. Not really any negative ones either. They just kind of exist. Silently.

      I have to say the Wall coming down was a crazy exciting thing to experience.

      Now I’m sick and tired of living through once in a lifetime events. I’d love to go back to boring.

        They experienced the beginning of the internet and computers becoming a main part of people’s lives

        They experienced the height of the cold war and experienced genuine concern for nuclear armageddon

        They experienced the end of the cold war and a few years of peace

        They experienced the beginning of grunge, hip hop music, heavy metal, MTV , and the peak of Michael Jackson

        They experienced 9/11, the dot com bubble burst, the housing crash of 2008, the pandemic of 2020

        They lived under the thumb of the silent generation and the boomer generation dominating politics for their entire life (as we all still do today) so there voice was never really heard.
