“
Consider that a quintessential Generation X take: a dollop of irony, a dash of fatalism and a sprinkle of self-loathing.
Burned by recession and buried in a demographic trough between the baby boomers and the Millennials, they came of age among dire pronouncements that theirs might be the first generation in memory that might not live better than their parents. No one ever expected much of them.
