Classic Gen X: "It's not my problem."
Cool, thanks for all the help guys. No wonder you get called fucking Boomers. You could have appended "other people aren't my responsibility" and really nailed down why people stopped giving a fuck about a generation that never gave a fuck about themselves or others.
genx took learys 'turn on, tune in, drop out' as literal instruction
I know a Gen Xer who really did literally make Dennis Leary a big part of his personality, without anybody (before me) explaining why a song about being an asshole wasn't supposed to be singing about a hero you should emulate.
Wrong Leary. The devil's talking about Timothy Leary, in this case.
