I never understood all this "Generation <whatever> is like this" stuff. It's like when you go to a Chinese restaurant and look at their zodiac and everyone born the same year as you, and also 12 years before you and 12 years after you, is the same?

I'm "Generation X" and I know people exactly my age that are hard working savers, profligate slackers, potheads, military officers, drunks, non-drinking preachy types, left wing nutjobs, 21st century pseudo psychology self analysts, Trump diehards, etc.

I bet my late WW2 veteran "greatest generation" grandfather could say the same.

But only a Gen Xer can be -all- of those things at once and not care about the contradictions. Be proud!
