As a Gen-Xer, sitting to the side and watching boomers and millennials fight

Welcome to the Oregon Trail Generation, my friend. Also known as Generation Catalano or Xennials. I feel like we're the peacemakers in all of this because somehow we "get" all the sides.

Our parents are boomers who really and honestly did pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Our older siblings and the cool kids we worshiped are Xers. But we were actually the ones who started a lot of the Millennial mindset because we came of age exactly at the time when the internet broke the old world.

Also, as an affirmed member of Generation Catalano, can I just say how happy I was to see that Angela in Mr. Robot is a Sonic Youth fan??
