Having been born in a strange space between Gen X and Gen Y or the Millenials, or whatever the name is now, I’ve always felt left out. Too un-slackery to be Gen X, to cynical to be a Millenial, I literally was born halfway into the year that often is used to separate the two generations (1977).
Now, I have discovered, I am not alone. I wonder what my generation will be known for? A quick primer on how each succeeding generation has been viewed provides some hints:
Baby Boomers: Spoiled, entitled flower-children who experienced amazing prosperity thanks to nothing they did.
Gen X: Spoiled, entitled slackers who eventually experienced dot.com prosperity thanks to nothing they did.
Millenials, Spoiled, entitled tech-kids who will eventually experience prosperity based on nothing they did.
