I don't even understand this one. It's this a thing for Gen x? I feel like Gen x is more known for complacency.
Whatever
Exactly, just watch early 90s Simpson's older teenagers, meh. That summed up gen x in a lot of media.
That's just a side effect from the belief that nothing important was fixable because the interests that kept them that way were too entrenched.
It's more apathy than complacency, after years of our cynicism being fully vindicated. A cynic is just a disappointed optimist.
