Gen X is first true latch key kid generation, where both parents worked, so when after they got home from school, they actually had to figure out how to feed themselves and get their homework done on their own so they could go to baseball practice….on their bike.
The argument could be made that GenX is the most independent and entrepreneurial of all generations, and the data supports this, as more than half of all businesses are GenX startups.
GenX ers didn't go to baseball practice. they posted videos of themselves crying because words hurt
Yeah I don’t know about all that. GenX(65-79) was definitely the first of the medicated generations, where big pharma had a profound effect on how families addressed anxiety and depression, but that was really only the back end of that group. If you’re looking to point the finger at a generation that posts videos of themselves crying on social media, I’m not sure it’s today’s 50 year olds. I have a hunch that you mean millennials or gen z.
The youngest Gen Xers were already in the workplace before MySpace and FaceBook were a thing, and they’re in their mid 40s now.
