We (Gen X) are taking care of both sides now, the old and the young. That’s just how things go … until we get old too.
I personally consider myself old and the youngsters call everyone a boomer so that‘s how I call myself at work when I deal with 20 year old kids who look like they’ve never left the house before.

I guess its this way with every generation but as a genX er I can look in the baby boom past gen and see stuff that dont exist and see the next gen also. an interesting time in history.
I love Gen- Xers. And even married one. I’m a barely baby boomer.

Genxers are laid back, and fun, but tbh they don’t have NEAR the impact on society as the boomers did/do, and the millennials will.

Unless Desantis, or some yet unknown genxer gets in next time, they may have an entire generation with no US President.

Reagan - Greatest generation
Bush Sr - Greatest generation
Clinton - Boomer
Bush Jr - Boomer
Obama - Boomer
Trump - Boomer
Biden - Greatest generation ( yes, he’s that old!)

The President after that, may be a Gen Z!

Even most of the iconic gen x movies are acted by mostly Boomers! Like Breafast Club and Ferris Buellers day off.

But you have done a great job refereeing the battles between Boomers and Millennials!

Hate to break it to you brother, but BOTH Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp are Boomers!!

Boomer generation is from 1946 - 1964
Pitt was born the same year as me, 1963. Depots a year older.

What do you call those of us who were born between 1940 and 1946. Most of us grew up as Boomers. We were the oldest of large families.

I believe you are either the greatest generation or silent generation
