Question

What will happen to the Gen-Xers?

Answer 1

The difference between Boomers and Gen Xers?  Gen X is a population trough, so you won't be subjected to endless pat on the back shows about how great they are, how important their adolescent fads were, or how they changed the world.  Advertisers cater to population highs and since most of the generation routine is an invention of marketing, they aren't that important.  Notice how the nostalgic coming of age shows are set primarily in the 60s and 70s, most of the 80s ones failed pretty quickly, not enough base to remember those times fondly at that age.  So no neo-fred savage preaching at us about those changing 80s.  Same thing for radio stations, classic rock never really moved beyond bands formed before 1984, not that different from when they got their start at about that time.  

     Gen Xers grew up at a time when things like education budgets were cut, because it wasn't seen as important to as many people, because they didn't have school kids.  This didn't change till the boomlet started to swell the schools again, when all of a sudden schools were important again.  So they can look forward to a backlash against old age benefits brought on by bloated boomer budgets and pushed by boomlet children who'll be worried more about their kids by that point, then about the smaller demographic old people.   Then inevitably, when they get older, they'll clamor for increased benefits.

Answer 2

Weren't they pretty much just modern day hippies with a little less weed?  Hopefully they'll all gather up somewhere that I don't have to see them.
