I'm a Gen-X'er. It's not just a letter or a lifestyle; it's a
rating.

There is a growing rift between Gens X, Y, and Z, as I've illustrated here.

Soon the nascent "Alpha" (the children of the "zillennial") will widen the gap even further, when they are old enough to talk back and begin to question their parents' ideas and perceptions.
Although ostensibly college kids love the company of people my age [
1], I get a lot of static, I find, from those who don't feel young people have any use for the older generation anymore. They seem to particularly rankle when I tell stories about the old days or talk about how much better or simpler the old days were than now. My enemies seem to be of the mind that anyone over 35 who befriends someone a decade or so younger must be a "groomer"--and I ain't talking
dogs here.
