165. I wouldn't bash them so much
...if they didn't go on and on and fucking ON about how they are The Most Wonderful Generation in American History. Or... The Generation with Fragrant Poop Which Smells of Lilacs and Roses.

That's the kind of narcissistic tripe that invites the hate. EVERY generation has something that makes them special, and EVERY generation has its misfires.

The fact that Generation X is the first in American history to not do as well as the preceding generation did justifies some of the resentment. But the #1 cause of the resentment by far is the self-absorbed masturbatory "celebration" the boomers do of themselves.
