"Generation X" got its name in the early '90s from an article turned book by Canadian writer Douglas Coupland .

The media tends to ignore Generation X as a whole, and this pleases Gen X just fine.

Recently, Millennials and Gen Z became aware of their presence and dubbed them " The Karen generation" .

Gen X was the generation most impacted by the AIDS epidemic when it comes to anxiety about casual sex.

Even when having safe casual sex, singles in the '90s had to meet people the old-fashioned way or, if they did meet online, they felt shame over it.

They are ready for the apocalypse, but don't expect them to help or anything!.
