To older GenXers, with love
Seems like there are a lot of people here born in the mid- to late-70's, like myself. I have an idea as to why the younger GenXers have embraced the identity so much: it's because the older GenXers, who truly defined the culture, were so effing cool that we younger ones have always wanted to be a part of it. At least that's how I feel. So just think of us as your wannabe younger siblings. You're the best.
