As a Gen X person who had sweet bangs in ‘93, skated, and loved Jane’s Addiction, we are not cool at all now. About 10% of us were “whatever” kids while the rest were bullying young republicans. Remember Columbine? Yeah, that was us.

I’m coming around to this way of thinking. I want Gen X to be what I want, but then my peers voted & I realized I am firmly in the “Oh well whatever nevermind” category of my generation.
Yeah, the reason 10% of us were whatever kids was because we had to deal with asshole jocks that listened to hair metal and picked on “nerds” and weaker kids while being praised by the school admin and worshiped by lesser peers. Huh, sounds familiar. *cranks Feel the Pain by Dinosaur Jr.*
Ethan Hawke’s character in Reality Bites took an oil and gas job in Houston, lives in a McMansion in the Woodlands, voted for Trump twice, and supports drilling in protected areas. We’ve, like, changed, man.

Oh, wait, I see what you're saying (stupid English language where -ing denotes an action and a describer)
