I am not of the younger generation, but it must be really hard to give a shit right now. No voices are being heard, and they are economically crushed, preoccupied with paying their rent-seeking corporate providers ever increasing prices and for what purpose? To exist long enough to pay the bills? Maybe save enough for a house to stake a claim in what feels like a crumbling society that hates you?

I get it, that's a tough outlook to fight through just to get on the field to bat, and then social media constantly broadcasts how futile their swings are going to be even when they do get the courage to stand up.

All if this, plus ICE just shot Renee in the face for no reason.

Oh, there was a reason: they hated her, like they hate all of us who aren't miserable bigots.

genx or genz ?

GenX; our economic leadership raising prices on EpiPen, running ponzi schemes through big tech investment vehicles (for example but not limited to, various trade groups and standards bodies), insurance CEOs getting shot. The last gasp of 1900s American coke and booze binging wastoids. First generation of Americans handed a cubicle and Excel sheet as they got into the workforce, rather than a hammer, blow torch, or engineering book as those jobs were offshored. The make line go up pump and dumpers of NFTs and web3 and shitcoins the last 10-15. Chappelle and Gervais complaining about the world changing on them! Of all people how dare physics march on. Clowns

GenZ hasn't had enough time to fail so spectacularly.

GenX; the Daria generation of first wordlers who feel they have really seen some shit ...on TV, anyway... all those adults too shellshocked by endless war... oh wait no; just sad about Kurt Cobain still

Oh those poor first worlders reliant on sweat shop kids.

The generation that 10-15 years ago chanted "disrupt!" GenX are now the age those Boomers were 10-15 years ago. Ripe for disruption

There are signs they're being handed their hat; Mamdani in NY. Let's hope this is a real trend: https://fortune.com/2025/08/07/gen-x-ceos-decreasing-baby-bo...

all i was asking if genx "are low skilled know-nothings living on auto pilot inside media propagated memes about America" or did you mistyped
