[QUOTE="Caduceus, post: 1524092, member: 13517"] Very true Generation X is the smallest of all the generation groups by population. Both millennials and boomers far outnumber them. That's because of the introduction of [B][U]BOTH[/U] [/B]birth control ([URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_oral_contraceptive_pill']the daily pill[/URL]) AND legalised abortion. Advertisers and politicians usually skip pandering to generation X because: -the demographic is too small population wise -they don't throw away enough money for dumb things -they don't have enough money because the boomer generation is still holding on to it -they don't like or respond well to most forms of "drama" -they grew up alone at home after school and therefore are mostly self sufficient without need for outside help -they don't like or need spoon feeding -they were taught NEVER to trust strangers -they were taught NEVER to open the house door to anyone, especially salesmen -overall generation x a lot more challenging to manipulate or motivate because of their characteristic apathy and cynicism. In France generation X is called "Génération Bof" which roughly translates to "Generation Whatever".
