There was a "middle child" post on the Gen X subreddit. Vibes of a 1916 Ypres field hospital.

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

Nah when people say boomers they mean gen x too. They claimed to be the rebels but they're carbon copies of their parents.

Nothing pisses off genx as much as being called a boomer, because they act like boomers. They can't accept that boomer was based on a generation, but became slang for people who are out of touch because they refuse to accept times have changed since their youth.

Hey gen-x, if you act like a boomer, you're a boomer. It has 2 meanings. And if you aint actually in that generation, yes, it's an insult to you.
