The Gen-X Manifesto: A Casual Take
Hey there, fellow Gen-Xers! We’re the “Exceptional Generation,” and while we might be outnumbered by our parents’ Boomers and the tech-savvy Gen-Z, we definitely know how to make our presence felt.
Sure, we might have had a rebellious streak growing up—maybe we pushed the limits a little too far just to see what would happen. But we also faced the harsh realities like the AIDS crisis, learning to navigate a world that was changing faster than anyone could keep up with. We witnessed monumental events, from the Cold War’s conclusion to the rise of home computers and video games.
Unlike previous generations who had defining wars, we were left to define ourselves—often with a sense of eternal adolescence that still sticks with us today. We can be a bit random and contradictory, swinging from deep thoughts to carefree dancing in a heartbeat.
Many of us grew up in “blended” families, surrounded by a mix of stepparents and grandparents, which taught us to be independent and resourceful. We’re the latchkey kids who learned to appreciate both freedom and responsibility, making us a little skeptical of authority while also being flexible enough to adapt to change.
As the children of Boomers and the grandchildren of the Greatest Generation, we’re now raising Gen-Z—the curious kids who question everything. They’re our biggest legacy, and we can’t wait to see how they change the world in ways we can’t even fathom.
You might not totally get us, and that’s okay. Just accept us for who we are, let us do our thing, and thank us later for lighting a fire under everything. We’re passing the torch soon enough to Gen-Y and Gen-Z, so buckle up!

Summary
The Gen-X generation, while smaller in number, has made a significant impact through adaptability and resilience. Growing up amid societal changes and challenges, we’ve embraced a mix of independence and responsibility. As we raise the curious Gen-Z, we continue to challenge norms and redefine what it means to be a parent today.
