        Hey woah, this Gen Xer just downvoted that a**hole. Gen X is supposed to be cynical, not nihilistic.

          Most of them aren’t though. They’re mid 50s now and are just angry about the youth and their feelings. They have been flying under the radar, because everyone blames Boomers/Millennials/Z. They liked angry music, but now live in the suburbs and own two homes. They didn’t have anything rough.

          But that’s just the ones I know.

            Yeah I’d say in many cases fair enough assessment except that I don’t think we are all down Gen Z; those folks are the ones who, unlike us, know what’s going on and will have to save everyone’s ass. The kids these days are all right by me.

            And more to the point, pretty much every Gen X parent I know feels the same about Gen Z, the “kids these days.” Yeah, their way of life is a bit alien to us, but they skipped right over the sexism, racism, and classism that Gen X had to sort of bumble their way out of.

          Why do you think Lemmy is miserable?

          Maybe every person who interacts with you would be miserable because of your nihilistic view on the world, but most of us definitely aren’t.

          For the record: I am not miserable in any way.
