Being a younger Xer myself, I know what it's like to grow in the shadow of one big, arrogant generation. It gets weirder when one big arrogant generation is growing up and you're one of the grandpas/mas looking at them become the Society from their late teenage. I wouldn't say it's that frustrating, but maybe... a tad worrying that so many self-entitled people sprung out and gained power so fast, without knowing the dreary times the Gen X have known. Like... it's insane that you can get nice comfy jobs as security guard, for instance, while being a long-haired beardo when I was being refused so many jobs during my teens just because I had long hair.

I dunno... at least what Zoomers could learn is how they arrived in this world at some very goddamn good context in history, where nice-paying jobs with benefits abound, they get full cultural leverage for your minority identities, rich social networks and an incredible tech infrastructure that can support every damn aspect of their lives.

I really hope they won't fuck up during their '30s-'40s as bad as the Xers and especially the Boomers did.
