…look, i’m from the heart of generation X and i can vouch from the trenches that all those cultural icons folks hold up as emblematic of our coolness?..they were a tiny, tiny minority rebelling vainly against the overwhelming majority of sellouts comprising our peers, ultimately buying into the same dystopian orphan-crushing-machine championed by our baby-boomer parents, and their parents before them, and their parents before them, a legacy of selfish exploitation since time immemorial…
…gen-X may have had good branding, but we’re no less subject to the 95%-of-everything-is-crap rule than any other generation before or after us…
…tell kiki she still owes me five bucks…
