While I do think we went kind of downhill since gen x, I wrote that comment as a joke.

You actually could argue that new generations are worse because we're lazier, hedonists, more disrespectful, etc or you could argue that boomers and gen x are actually the bad ones that left everything in such a bad state that following generations spent decades to make everything right again.

GenX isn't even in power yet for the most part. Most of the people representing us in government are the Boomers.

>because we're lazier, hedonists, more disrespectful, etc

Also, "they" said the same stuff about GenX.

GenX will never be in power. There aren’t enough of us. They’ll just skip us and once the Boomers die off, we will be a handful of elderly kooks watching Seinfeld reruns and dealing with Millennials making all the rules for themselves.
