    There might be a karmic reason why there will never be a Gen X president. We'll skip straight from the olds to the 40-something millennials after 2028.

    This is a lot of words just to say “I’m a hipster douchebag.”

    For the most part my efforts at sculpting a musical identity were fueled by an esotericism that disdained common and easily accessible genres.

    Not sure who this guy is but he ain’t Gen X.

    Also, this mic drop is the moment Ben Stiller became a movie star.

    He's Generation X, but he thinks he's looking out the window when he's looking in the mirror.

    That said, he's mining a vein long since exhausted (and made exhausting) by Klosterman.

    My college freshman daughter called yesterday, she was trying to help her friends get student football tickets and called me asking how. I said call the ticket office. Ehhh, she said, we're looking online and blah blah blah. I tried to help for a minute, lost patience and said again "just CALL THE TICKET OFFICE!" (While also reminding her she goes to Indiana, they'll be very happy to unload tickets for IU vs. Akron, students or otherwise.) She finally said "we're Gen Z, we don't want to talk to anyone." Even I had to laugh at that, as a fellow hater of the phone.

    Say what you will, but was just talking with my fellow latch-key Gen-X buddies from southern MN and this was our exact experience as well.

    If you do a 'find and replace' for Adorno in this essay, then swap in 'Karate Kid,' you have Simmons' body of work ca 2000 - present.
