      If you follow ChatGPT without question, you will fail lol. Same with YouTube videos if you can’t pick up on sarcasm or have knowledge of trolls.

      The previous generation said the same but about googling or stack overflow. The previous previous generation than that said the same but about using the library or books. The previous previous previous generation said the same but about using cave drawings or clay tablets.

      Our name is unspoken out of fear

      Saw a comment that Genx has the reputation for “feral and unhinged, devoid of fucks” and honestly, fair.

    It’s individuals I don’t understand. There’s strange behavior withing the members of all generations.

  • Why anybody even uses these lazy-press labels in the first place?

    There is no nation-wide “generation” suite. Boomers, GenX, Millenials, whatever – it’s all bullshit.

    Your “generation” (as a still very simplified and grossly inaccurate model) is everybody born within 12 years of you either direction. Which, as you can guess, means there’s a whole lot of overlap.

    This “boomer”/“GenZ”/Millenials/whatever crap is the product of a lazy press and marketing.
