All of our heros are dead, and we all know we'll die one day too. We grew up to metal, skateboarding, bmx, etc — actually going hard af. This made GenX dangerous to power. It's why they've spent so much time attacking GenX, from prohibiting the public and online use of slang that was commonly used by GenX — homo, queen, fag, etc. — to getting Zoomers to meme that GenXers are just neuvo-boomers (which has been shown to be false. Polls have shown that Zoomers, not GemX, tend to politically align with boomers).
