How on Earth can you post that with a straight face after all of the propping up of the status quo you have done for the last 5 years?
You make it seem like you enjoy getting ed in the ass cause you keep on asking for more of the same.

Generation X is sick of your bull .
The first generation to do worse than its parents? Please. Been there. Generation X was told that so many times that it can't even read those words without hearing Winona Ryder's voice in its heads. Or maybe it's Ethan Hawke's. Possibly Bridget Fonda's. Generation X is getting older, and can't remember those movies so well anymore. In retrospect, maybe they weren't very good to begin with.
But Generation X is tired of your sense of en lement. Generation X also graduated during a recession. It had even tier jobs, and actually had to pay for its own music. (At least, when music mattered most to it.) Generation X is used to being ed over. It lost its meager savings in the dot-com bust. Then came George Bush, and 9/11, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Generation X bore the brunt of all that. And then came the housing crisis.
Generation X wasn't surprised. Generation X kind of expected it.
Generation X is a journeyman. It didn't invent hip hop, or punk rock, or even electronica (it's pretty sure those dudes in Kraftwerk are boomers) but it perfected all of them, and made them its own. It didn't invent the Web, but it largely built the damn thing. Generation X gave you Google and Twitter and blogging; Run DMC and Radiohead and Nirvana and Notorious B.I.G. Not that it gets any credit.
But that's okay. Generation X is used to being ignored, stuffed between two much larger, much more vocal, demographics. But whatever! Generation X is self-sufficient. It was a latchkey child. Its parents were too busy fulfilling their own personal ambitions to notice any of its trophies-which were admittedly few and far between because they were only awarded for victories, not participation.
In fairness, Generation X could use a better spokesperson. Barack Obama is just a little too senior to count among its own, and it has debts older than Mark Zuckerberg. Generation X hasn't had a real voice since Kurt Cobain blew his brains out, Tupac was murdered, Jeff Mangum went crazy, David Foster Wallace hung himself, Jeff Buckley drowned, River Phoenix overdosed, Elliott Smith stabbed himself (twice) in the heart, Axl got fat.
Generation X is beyond all that bull now. It quit smoking and doing coke a long time ago. It has blood pressure issues and is heavier than it would like to be. It might still take some ecstasy, if it knew where to get some. But probably not. Generation X has to be up really early tomorrow morning.
Generation X is tired.
It's a parent now, and there's always so damn much to do. Generation X wishes it had better health insurance and a deeper savings account. It wonders where its 30s went. It wonders if it still has time to catch up.
Right now, Generation X just wants a beer and to be left alone. It just wants to sit here quietly and think for a minute. Can you just do that, okay? It knows that you are so very special and so very numerous, but can you just leave it alone? Just for a little bit? Just long enough to sneak one last ing cigarette? No?
Whatever. It's cool.
Generation X is used to disappointments. Generation X knows you didn't even read the whole thing. It doesn't want or expect your reblogs; it picked the wrong platform.
Generation X should have posted this to LiveJournal.

getting all emotional in the political forum
pussy
Awww, Generation X doesn't like the fact that they ing suck balls. Too damn bad.
Since you're the only one I know personally here... I'm pretty sure you are a Gen X, tbqh Manny
If I have his general age right, I believe that Manny is a "Y".
I'm a "Y".
I think.
(generally born starting in 81 or so according to several different websites)
Baby boomers start 1946. Generations go 20 years.
1946-1965 Boomers
1966-1985 X
1986-2005 Y/Millennials
Gen X checking in.
Republicans sabotaging the economy deliberately to get Obama un-elected suck ass.
That is absolutely, precisely, kinda the answer.
Cultural generations aren't so perfectly delineated.
Late Gen Xer here.... me too.
Well, I was born in 81, so I guess I'm a Y. Or an X.
I guess since I'm a male, you could just call me an XY.
I'm pretty sure Manny is the same age as me... and I'm an X.
I am 31 (born in '79), and I always got the impression that he was younger than I am. I guess I could be wrong.
You know what??? This mind numbing, and completely insignificant conversation that we have been having over the last few posts?????
Still better than the OP.
Sounds like Gen X doesn't give a ...
Gen X here myself, though I spent my first 20 years outside the US so I have a hard time relating to what's written there.
LOL. I actually like the OP and shared it with friends.
I'm recently 32, which means I've known Manny for about half my life now. That's scary.
That's it? Wow, I feel old
well ok then, I misjudged his age (and yours, I thought you were older).
That's what I was thinking.That's it? Wow, I feel old
I'm glad to see a non-partisan, scientific type weigh in.
