Gosh, this was fun! A little dizzying, what with the non-committal "praise, renounce, praise, renounce" of Boomers, Millennials, et. al. It must be tough to write fiction in a non-fiction way, meaning not-fact-based, but tiny drizzles of a fact mingled with limited, myopic, subjective experience. But hey, know your target market-er, audience, eh?

Speaking of, we got rid of chlorofluorocarbons, did you hear? Or were you getting micro-bangs? Yeah, if you ask a Gen-Z or Millennial what the above chemical is, they'll ask you if it's a new energy drink or anxiety pill.

Meanwhile, I think the most annoying, repulsive trend in the Gen-X writing pool (oh and "Life Coaching FIELD"? *cough cough* Because...life? SOhhh hard) and to be clear, this isn't true of all Gen-X writers, because over-generalizations just make the writer look ridiculous (and lose all credibility) is how they pander to the Gen-Zers and Millennials, hoping to not only avoid irrelevance, but to maybe be thought of as the "cool Mom" or the "chill older sis" who lets you get high at her apartment.

Yeah, I think that's what I dislike most about many Gen-X slackers --because the whole point to the above? They use this hypocritical marketing strategy to make money off these younger generations who are so entrenched in identity-consumerism/ politics/cultural shifts, that they don't even realize that all the disingenuous, pretentious, self-flagellation and self-loathing they're being sold is really just another way to get them to buy an intangible load of bullshit. But hey, once a Gen-Xer, always a Gen-Xer, eh?

Oh, that, and Gen-Xers are also responsible for making "mental illness" a disease model and an identity. *Slow clap* Well done, amIright?
