I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
I picture Generation X as young adults living in a state of perpetual adolescence.
I talk about millennials with a healthy dose of humility, as I'm a card-carrying member of Generation X. But I have daily interaction with young people at Dana Perino & Co., through my Minute Mentoring organization, with digital friends on social media, and especially at Fox News.
The evidence that I see around me in society indicates that not only is thinking very much out of favor, but I'm not sure that the last couple of generations - Generation X and Generation Next, or whatever you want to call them - even know what a thought is, having been raised to be women.
You're talking about a younger generation, Generation Y, whose interpersonal communication skills are different from Generation X. The younger generation is more comfortable saying something through a digital mechanism than even face to face.
I was just after Generation X. I missed the John Hughes movies; I had to watch them on TBS.
All these people that want to make me out as part of Generation X had better watch out, or they're going to get X'd out themselves.
It's been said that Generation X should get a life. Well, in 'Bottle Rocket,' they get a life of crime. Or at least try.
Every generation trash-talks younger generations. Baby boomers labeled Generation X a group of tattooed slackers and materialists; Generation Xers have branded millennials as iPhone-addicted brats.
Will Generation X and the Millennials do a better job running the world than the boomers have? Let's hope so.
