Dear GenX and Boomers; It’s the 1980’s again. Again the rich & yuppies have removed most if not all regulations from capital, and are telling the rest of us — about to get hurt or lose it all in the crash that their unfettered access to money created — that we’re stupid and left wing ideals are the actual problem, we should just get rich like them.

I’ve seen this game of musical chairs before, and I know how it ends.

On l'aime, on l'aime pas, mais il faudrait expliquer aux #boomers de droite que quand quelqu’un cite #Chapoutot, la réponse appropriée n'est pas "Il serait temps d’ouvrir un livre d'histoire."

This #Photo marks the end of my Day & Night series - 85 days of an image a day. Like the ultimate Gernsback Continuum artefact of a #Cyberpunk future that never happened, and with its demolition will never be, #NakaginCapsuleTower was patched, piped, & modified - a relic of #Japanese #Metabolism #Architecture. In the airport lounge that evening, we overheard #Boomers from my home town talking about their investment properties.

I'm a Xennial. It is the ‘modern’ label for those of us who were born in the overlapping years of GenX and GenY (GenY is called Millennial today).

Those born between these years are Xennials:
* 1977–1985 according to Business Insider
* 1977‒1983 according to The Guardian
* 1977‒1982 according to Slate

The years of each generations:
* ???‒??? - The Ancients
* Anything between “The Ancients” and 1945 have different names, and is usually based on different Western countries.
* 1946‒1964 - Baby #Boomers
* 1965‒1985 - #GenX
* 1977‒1985 - #Xennial
* 1981‒1996 - #GenY a.k.a. #Millennial (or #GenM in South Korea)
* 1997‒2012 - #GenZ
* 2013‒2025(?) - #GenAlpha

There is also what is called #GenMZ. It is a combination of Millennials and GenZ, that is 1981‒2012. “GenMZ” is more commonly used in South Korea than anywhere else.
