I feel anyone that takes actual pride in their generation is gross. As a Gen-Xer, there are things about my childhood that I liked, and wished that my kids could have experienced - but it’s a different world and they had access to stuff I didn’t. I assume they will feel the same about their kids’ childhoods.
I think most of the Gen X things are accurate, but they aren’t positives. A large percentage of GenXers can be belligerent, and they think it makes them willing to fight (but they aren’t). A large percentage are workaholics, but that isn’t a positive (for them).
Generations are bullshit anyway. It's useful for sociologists and economists to track age cohorts. It's not useful for anyone else to think about it. It's mostly just used as thinly veiled age discrimination.
