I’m a millennial and I love you guys, my aim is to be kinder and more helpful to y'all than our predecessors were to us

Gen Xers have always been pretty cool, as long as you don't expect them to care about much. I get the feeling that the close proximity to the Boomers really took it out of them.

I have a lot of sympathy for them in general and plenty of them are pretty cool, but the product of not caring is that there a lot of selfish asshole xers, I don’t hold it as a rule, but they certainly didn’t try to support or guide us much in my experience

Edit: to be clear when I say predecessors I mean boomers because they are the age group with the most representation in power since I was born
