Gen X are going to be a handful. At least there are fewer of them than the awful, awful boomers.
Maybe someday your generation will actually do something beside whine and blame everyone else.

As a member of Gen X, I'd agree with this. We've produced some remarkable actors, directors, musicians, and especially athletes in various sports, but haven't shown much interest in politics or governance thus far. With the notable exceptions of Obama and Paul Ryan, American politics since 1992 has been dominated to an amazing extent by people born from 1940 to 1950 - both Clintons, Trump, Gingrich, Gore, Kerry, Romney, McConnell, Pelosi, Dubya and Jeb, Biden, and Sanders all came out of that decade.
Yep. White people who came of age during the Civil Rights era.

Hasn’t every generation produced amazing actors, writers, athletes, etc.?
Complaints about Common Core are fueled by Gen Xers who were taught poorly in the 80s and 90s so they don’t understand what their kids are being taught today. It’s hilariously dumb and ignores 20-30 years of innovation in education. Meanwhile Republicans keep pushing accountability regimes that do little more than teach tests.
He was born in 1961 which is the beginning of generation x according to some , although others say 1964 or 1965, according Wikipedia. Whichever beginning date you choose though, Obama is hardly typical of a baby boomer and has much more in common with gen x.

Meh. Gen X has been a great generation in terms of athletics and entertainment but we’ve largely avoided politics and ceded leadership to boomers.
I can't think of a single amazing boomer musician.

odd that most of the great classic rock stuff is actually pre-boomer but here are a couple legit boomer age range (per Wiki's birth year of 1946-1966). YMMV
Sting
Elton John
Freddie Mercury
Billy Joel
Springsteen
