In a series of TikTok posts and videos, many criticize Gen Xers for their “conservative approach and know-it-all attitude” despite “not making decisions for themselves.”

‘My parents loved to narrate all the costs they had to pay to live, like education, health insurance, bills and even braces. It was a constant complaint that I was expensive. Well, children are expensive!
Others had similar complaints about the behavior of Generation X.
“Gen X will most likely become the worst group of parents in recent memory.”
“They project too much, they have too many expectations and they don’t give enough emotionally,” he said. “Furthermore, they blame social ineptitude on technology rather than their parenting skills.”
‘The sarcasm they developed as a coping mechanism to deal with Boomer parents decimates an 8-year-old.’

Millennials and Gen Z also don’t like it when Gen X applies their trademark nihilism to important issues.
“They always invalidate our issues, especially around climate change and LGBTQ issues.”
“Baby boomers are crippling people and creating problems, but Gen X is also part of the problem. They follow their parents, while millennials and Gen Z have seen how detrimental the mindset of previous generations has been and are trying to incite change.”
The internet has also started calling Generation X the ‘Generation Karen’ after producing a bunch of entitled people who don’t trust the authority of young people and who also tend to be racist and anti-queer.

Many specifically complained about the ‘Facebook mom’ stereotype.
‘Why do these moms spend hours and hours a day arguing about nothing on Facebook? It’s like it’s the only thing that gives his life meaning.
“The worst part is definitely telling all your friends personal details about your children and posting photos of a child’s mental breakdown online.”
A third said, ‘Please smear Gen X more.’ My parents never matured past high school, just petty fights and a Facebook addiction.
