Gen X managed to blame everything they did on the boomers

More like the kids can't tell old people apart. They've been binning Gen-X into the Boomer category. Old is Boomer to them.

I'm sure they would label some older Millennials as Boomers too. Especially since social media has distorted everyone's perception of physical appearance. Even millennials are struggling with coming to grips with aging. Sorry guys but you are old.

Gen-X wasn't forgotten. There's the technical definition of generations. Then there's the pop culture / meme definition of generations. In pop culture. Especially zoomer pop culture. There's only Boomer, Millennial, and Zoomer. Which vaguely goes as old, 20-30 something, and teenager. Gen-X was "forgotten" into the Boomer category.

I'm 39, and Lemmy has informed me that I'm a "boomer". Apparently "it's a mindset!" or something.

Correct. Also the most boomer way you could have said it without somehow implying that you hate your wife.

But I love my wife. I wouldn't have married her if I didn't.

Lemmy is full of boomers

I'll let myself out
