Gen X and Millennials share quite a lot of culture in common. We grew up with not only a lot of the same pastimes, but the same media franchises as well. We played a lot of the same games. We both remember a time before everything was digital. Most of us were all latchkey kids and shared the same types of rebellion. We don’t really share that to the same degree with other generations.

I really like Zoomers culture, but I wish I could connect with it more. I get their values and everything you can study. I play DnD with a few of them. It just seems like a different culture. While that’s fine it does mean I have to find a way to relate. “Ah yes, I see your characteristic lack of self awareness and raise you my arrested development and my compatriots funkyo pop obsession. Well met.”
