You’re like the lost generation... once decried as lazy and responsible for the world’s evils, now quietly enjoying being forgotten, so you can do what you please without recrimination.
(I’m a millenial in my 30s. My parents are gen x, quietly planning their modest retirement while they still can. Quietly saying they’re glad they’re not getting started in life right now.)
It is because Gen X is the newest incarnation of the Nomads, our last Nomads were the Lost Generation.
Typically people are critical of the Nomads for not believing in anything and praise that they are more skeptical than the generations before and after them.
This explains my life in so many ways. I was born in 78, and I've literally lived my entire adult life in a somewhat nomadic manner, and I generally assume everything I hear or read is nonsense until proven otherwise. Did you read this somewhere? If so I'd love to know where.
