Wow, that is a good (though depressing) explanation! I used to be Gen-X but they changed the years so I am borderline Gen-X and "Baby Boomer" (ick, hate that term and it reminds me of hippies). I'm definitely more old-fashioned though.
I get told that I'm a dinosaur.. by people the same age as I.
My best friend said I was a museum piece, a throwback to another time.
All because I said that I was taught to hold doors open for ladies, bow slightly, remove hat, pull out chairs for ladies, and on the first date you present her with a rose, a pearl necklace, or both.
The above earned me the moniker 'old man'.
*scratches head*
I dunno, I was only 20 when I got saddled with it...
Yes, They seem to love to move the boundary fence of GenX-ers.
Last I knew, 1975 marked the las year of Gen-X births.
(Unless they change that too!)
And I was born in 1975, so in a way I am part of the last gasp of GenX.
Yes, it is somewhat depressing as an explanation, I agree.
But it was GenX thatbrought a Young Republican wave as well.
(We're also much more cynical than the Boomers.. Libs hate cynics since they usually tend to not care about ideology as much as stark reality.)
