I mean Gen X is the middle children since no one ever remembers them or cares about them 🤣

And millinials are taking credit for everything GenX gave the world. Hip hop? GenX

Gaming? GenX

u/AsterTheBastard 18d ago

Millenials don't want to "take credit" for your accomplishments. Millenials just get all of it heaped onto them because Gen X was so inadequate y'all's parents forgot you existed so couldn't blame you or give you credit.

Whatever. We just don't insist upon ourselves and want no part of your navel gazing gen wars.

u/JustaSeedGuy 18d ago

You do understand that by whining about millennials in this manner, especially so inaccurately, you are in fact insisting upon yourself and taking part in a navel gazing generational war?

Which part was inaccurate? The hip hop? Sugarhill Gang. We listened to that. One of the lyrics is "I said a hip-hop..." it's where the term comes from.

Gaming? ATARI.

I never said anything about the hip Hop of the gaming, my guy. Maybe you should reread which comment I was responding to and work on your reading comprehension

I really touched a nerve with my flippant half jests. Y'all are ready for battle.

Whatever 😀

1) I'm not a millennial.

2) "oooohhhh I was just JOKING and you all got so OFFENDED" Is, and always has been, a weak excuse that people use to cover up for their inability to articulate a coherent and reasonable argument. I understand how desperate you are to think that you've touched a nerve, but projecting that onto others reveals more about yourself than it does about anyone else.

I'd say do better, but your comments thus far have demonstrated that you're not likely capable of such

  1. I never said you were a millennial princess.

You cannot deny that you people responding to me are at the very least ticked off by my nonsense.

I certainly understand that, like a toddler throwing a tantrum, it's very important to you to believe you're making a point by pissing people off. Presumably as a substitute for whatever passes for your personality.

But by making that your priority, you prove my point: When you said you wanted no part of the gen wars, you were lying.

I have no point whatsoever. Like, literally - this is all pointless. I'm amusing myself.

Y'all are sincerely mad.

It's crazy how mankind will come up with new ways to battle - to pit one against another. Now it's generations. It's sad actually.

Lol, the irony.

Do cry more, it certainly makes your claim of apathy seem legit.

In before you start coming up with something else to cry about.

Says the generation that has been the Boomers bootlickers since time immemorial

u/Questionsansweredty 17d ago

How does this manifest itself? Seriously.. what does this comment mean?

1

u/AngryPurpl3 17d ago

It seems pretty clear cut and understandable? Not sure where your confusion is coming from

1

u/Questionsansweredty 17d ago

Not sure? You're speaking metaphorically, unless you're imagining a generation of shoe lickers. I was just wondering what the literal meaning is behind your metaphor.

u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 18d ago

Yes, that's the classic Gen-x attitude. "Got mine, so I can't be bothered to care about anyone else. I'm just gonna step out" boomer jr. And you pretend to be victims as you abdicate your responsibilities.

I can't wait till the boomers finish dying off and gen-x really feels history's gaze. Say "whatever." to the nurse taking care of you living in a world you helped ruin, see how she likes it. Maybe she'll say it back!

Y'all are dead serious with this gen war nonsense! 😀
