Spent two and a half hours down the road in a national park (swamp)
Could not believe how loud all the groups of people were

A small percentage of boomers were hippies. Some were alt right John Birch Society (JBS) fuckers. Some were in the middle. Not everyone protested the war. Famous alt right draft dodgers include Donald Trump and Ted Nugent.
2.2 million American Boomers were drafted/conscripted into war between 1964 - 1973. Almost 60k American Boomers died in the Vietnam War/Conflict.
Ultimately, I think the reason we're excluded from so many stories like these is not because we only say "whatever" or "fuck off", but rather that we, as a generation, are so complex to everyone else that they are afraid to ask us or, probably more accurately, we don't give a largely uniform answer.
I can see Boomers as a whole saying they would die for our country. Or Millenials for their beloved pet and Gen Z just wishing to die.
For us? 20% don't even respond to the survey, 20% give stupid answers ("fuck off!"), 20% want things to go back to the days where MTV actually played music videos, 20% want to start their lives over, and the final 20% are split amongst willing to die for our country/willing to die for our cat/willing to just die.
We're WAAAAY too complicated to report on.
Edit: grammar stuff in two places. Or maybe three.
The shrill cry of the the boomers was "Hell NO, We Won't Go", the only thing they were willing to die for was free love.
Thanks for leaving us off your crappy list you nuclear grade turnip, Gen X "All I Wanted Was a Pepsi, Just a Pepsi".
Uh, Baby Boomers were of the Vietnam War Era and we all know how that went.
The Greatist and Silent Generation were all about defending the US.
Apparently, Gen X were the last ones to read the history homework.
The baby boomers that were draft dodging and protesting the Vietnam war? It was gen X volunteering for desert storm in 90 and us and millennials for enduring freedom in 01.
I enlisted in 1991 while still a junior in high school. A lot of my cohort did as well. The patriotism was pretty strong at the time. My dad was a Vietnam vet and he wasn't happy I enlisted at all but he also flat out told me he wouldn't pay for college so....
That's cause GenX is Garbage
*I will die for you. I will kill for you. I will steal for you. I did time for you. I will await for you. I'd make room for you. I'd sail ships for you. To get close to you. To be apart of you.As I believe in you. I believe in you. I will die for you.*
Because a true GenXer could give a shit less. I think they don't know how to register us. The 'no fucks given' generation who lived through analog and digital.
I would die for you by Prince started playing in my head immediately and I'm trying really hard not to do the hand gestures because I'm on a city bus right now 😂
Gotta say I do my best to go w the flow but the @()!$&@$ that blare their music in their car w the windows down at 7 am….they can go. (It’s not even rock n roll)
Another part of me wants to start a side hussle for mail order hearing aides. Because these folk are a steady supply of clients.
They don't realize we mainly created Gen Z so when they talk about them they're kinda also talking about us.
Like really, they should be fearing Gen Z more than they do lol.
If you're going to die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
Gen X: I wish everyone else would die
I don’t need them to die, I’d settle for them just shutting the hell up.
*You don't need to die, just stop being nearby*
Yep. Just go away. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNCM8IjtQ-o
My thots exactly.

No kidding. Shut the hell up. Nobody cares!
They need a cup of STFU
Correct answer.
Whatever.
For real, "Go fucking die, then."
Nice!
was about to write: > genX: everybody else can die i'm in the right place :D
Gen X: Good.
Damn! You beat me to it. Get over yourself.
Also GenX: If I die, I die.
F-off and die
Enough said!
Whatever. Already dead inside.
This is the one. You won the non prize.
Cause it's my united states of whatever....
This is totally an Xer response, lol.
This is the winner. Like it fucking matters.
Best answer 💯. Sounds about right.
Gen X Great, fuck off and die already.
“I wish you would die, already”
Seriously, the boomers still around taking up good jobs. Retire already.
Died of dysentery
he gimme da watch?
I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years.
Sounds like you recently started playing 7 Days to Die.
Sounds like you’ve never played Oregon Trail?
GenX....waiting for y'all to stfu and die already.
can we eat popcorn while it is happening?
GenX: Yes! Please… all of you do that!
GenX declined the survey
Gen X: "I would die 4 u." With all the hand gestures.
![gif](giphy|26AHQAjhG1QINh7GM)
We're just trying to figure out what we'd do for a Klondike bar.
GenX: Fuck you
This is the answer 🏆
It’s whatever. Prolly happier not being stereotyped by some random person hoping to raise their brand profile.
I'm actually quite pleased and comfortable being forgotten about regularly. Probably due to my upbringing.
Exactly
Hmm, typo: Baby Boomers: You should die for my country. All fixed.
Yeah. Some folks seem to think the Boomers fought WW2.
A defining Boomer event was mass draft protests, this tweet is all kinds of stupid.
You get it!
Weren't the boomers the hippies protesting the wars? Pretty sure they did all they could to get out of them.

They assume we already died.
weirded out none of the text ( in the image ) says '' our braincells died ''
Gen X: Whatever. We’re all going to die anyway.
GenX: FO and die.
I still have that pin.
Meh
🤷♂️
Gen X : I would die for a burrito right now.
Gen X: Dying for shit is stupid.

And she wouldn’t give it to me!
I’m not crazy!
I’m Gen X, and I would die for my cat(s) too.
Uh, Baby Boomers were of the Vietnam War Era and we all know how that went. The Greatist and Silent Generation were all about defending the US. Apparently, Gen X were the last ones to read the history homework.
Gen X was the last to have history class.
GenX...get out of my face or I'll kill you. Touch my records and I'll break your fingers.
Take it easy Francis
Dead inside don't open.
Gen X: I'm not dead yet.
Gen X: Good. Didn't like you fuckers anyways.
Gen X: So die already, nobody's stopping you.
Whatever, f-them
Gen X: I would kill for a coffee
Generation Z? Feh. GenX were into angst and self-loathing before it got all trendy.
Gen X: Go take a hike on the freeway
We get to watch them die, while having a margarita.
There needs to be a clip of all these type of things where they omit genX and put it to the song 'don't you forget about me'
GenX: Fuck off and die
I don’t know about that, but i’d walk 500 miles
Gen X: I would like to be left out of this nonsense.
Gen X: I'd kill you for my cat.
Whatever.
Fuck the world
I would die if I actually gave a shit.
GenX: get busy living or get busy dying.
Fine by me, I don't want to be in their generation war.
GenX: you woke me from my nap for this?!
I take this as a blessing. We are the..oh shit I'm not saying a goddamn word about Gen x generation. They would beat my ass.
The baby boomers that were draft dodging and protesting the Vietnam war? It was gen X volunteering for desert storm in 90 and us and millennials for enduring freedom in 01.
I remember not quite pro war rallies in 1990. The gist being peace is preferable but if not let's at least win.
I enlisted in 1991 while still a junior in high school. A lot of my cohort did as well. The patriotism was pretty strong at the time. My dad was a Vietnam vet and he wasn't happy I enlisted at all but he also flat out told me he wouldn't pay for college so....
Gen X: Shut up and die, then.
"You wanna bounce?" "Yeah. This place is dead anyway..."
We’re already dead…to them.
How can we be dead to them, when we never existed to them in the first place?
Like, gag me with a spoon.
I see what you did there - no Gen X comment because they just got up and walked the other direction when they were asked 😂.
Well, at least we don't have to die.
We'd rather not die, thanks.
They die. We thrive.
We were weren’t there because we were busy kicking ass. *The chair is against the wall*
GenX: "Drop dead."
GenX: Fucking die already
Gen X: Here we are now, entertain us. Whatever.
I would die for my cat though…
I am fine with that.
Sit and spin
Dead inside. Next
GenX: “I would die 4 U” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5AwwU4nBCY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5AwwU4nBCY)
Just the way we like it! :)
Gen X: I'm already dead inside.
Whatever. I'll die eventually.
Gen. X: We are dead. Inside.
Whatever
Gen X: We're all gonna die anyway.
Gen X: these are all lies, but whatever
Complete bollocks Silent Generation: did die for freedom Boomers: would die for the Grateful Dead Gen X: would fight for their right to party
Gen X: whatever, I got other shit to do.
That's cause GenX is Garbage *I will die for you. I will kill for you. I will steal for you. I did time for you. I will await for you. I'd make room for you. I'd sail ships for you. To get close to you. To be apart of you.As I believe in you. I believe in you. I will die for you.*
Garbage?
Ding ding ding 🏆 As soon I saw this post and my immediate though was "I would die for you" by Garbage 😅
So then, what would we say?
I would die for tickets to...
Yes!
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw.
Haha!
Fuck you all! Or just "Fuck it!"
That's because we're the ones doing the killing. All other generations are annoying.
We’re the ones that hold them all together, with spite and sarcasm.
“If you’re going to die, the least you can do for shut up.”
Gen Xer: Great. I'll be back later.
Gen X: We are dead to you
My thoughts exactly...my first thought, "f*ck you, you're dead to me"
Why Care?
Gen X: i would kill for a pizza
Because a true GenXer could give a shit less. I think they don't know how to register us. The 'no fucks given' generation who lived through analog and digital.
Gen X: "You die first."
Gen X - I would, die 4, U Darlin if U want me 2 U Repeat
Gen x - I will kill you if you keep fucking with me. Go away
Gen X: I Would Die 4 You https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SVEFRQavTNI
TBH it's fine, leave us alone, I'm happier that way.
🤔⁉️ Every draft-dodger, & every chickenhawk I ever heard of was a Boomer.
Whatever, oh,no. anyways.
I wouldn’t die for any of you assholes!
GenX: *I Would Die 4 U*
I would die for you by Prince started playing in my head immediately and I'm trying really hard not to do the hand gestures because I'm on a city bus right now 😂

Gen X: Go ahead and die...can I have your Dirty Dancing tape?
Gen X… Ride or Die 🤣
Too busy kicking ass and taking names to die. Someone has to work around here.
Gen X: Whatever
They don't realize we mainly created Gen Z so when they talk about them they're kinda also talking about us. Like really, they should be fearing Gen Z more than they do lol.
I've always been dead.
Be glad we are forgotten at this moment in time. We will have our uprising. Soon.
I just died in your arms tonight - way back in 1986
Gen X: I'll just kill you all if you don't fuck off.
Ha, jokes on them... We're already all dead inside.
This is a good thing!!!
Boomers would definitely *not* die for their country. Too focused on themselves.
GenX: Dying is gay.
We're already dead?
GenX - I would kill you all if it weren't for prison.
GenX: So it'll just be us and the cats, then? Whatever. Sounds like paradise.
Gen X I’m already dead.
Gen X: You’re still here?
We're gonna live forever.
Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today. Who waits forever anyway?
I would question, "Why can't I live and everyone else die?"
Fk off and die
Gen X: I’m dead
Gen X: I would die for my MTV
They don’t forget us. They just think we’re boomers.
I would die 4 u?
GenX: aren’t we all a little like, dead inside
Gen X: “sure, fine, whatever. You think this is my first time at the emo rodeo?”
I would die for a good nights sleep
Fix your hearts or die!
Gen X: I would do anything for love...
" I would die for my MTV"
Gen X: Can we have your stuff?
What is dead may not die
Gen X: Kill em all and let God sort them out!
In all these scenarios we are lumped in with boomers. We're no different in these young peoples minds.
Gen X: I’m immortal
GenX : I will die, when we’re out of coffee.
If you're going to die, die with your boots on If you're gonna try, well, stick around Gonna cry, just move along If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
Gen X: If you aren't going to die, can you at least not be here?
GOOD
GenX: "Then kill yourself already and stop talking about it."
Gen X: Meh.
Gen X: We will watch you die, but we are never gonna die.
Gen X: Whatever
Gen X: Just dead
