GenX Humor: Pointing out that they forgot to put GenX in the joke

[–] chaos@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

I prefer to call it the generation formerly known as Twitter

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

We're humorless.

Came here to say the same thing, we are the forgotten generation and I'm ok w/ that.

We never forget GenX, we just only mention them when they're important

[–] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Only their importance is more subtle than this burn.

You know there's a whole, quite significant demographic you just missed there, right?

Which one?
Is there something between Boomer and Millenials? /s
