On this episode we have T. and Ken. In the past we had an episode about millenials that ruffled some feathers, so this time we deliver our long-promised episode where we criticize our generation, Gen X.

I was born in 1980 and this episode hits home. Sooo many of the people I grew up around that were a few years older than me thought everything people my age and younger did was garbage if it wasn’t some bootstrap shit. Especially, if it was political/artistic. They were all trying to live A Different World life style and dropped all that political awareness when they were able to get out of the neighborhood. I can’t tell you how many times my friends and I were told by them to join the military and/or “start a business”. What’s sad is that many of us did and it was horrible advice for the majority of us. There was 0 apprenticeship or assistance it’s funny how quick they were to dead us. I remember when I was looking for a job out of college in the late 00s and NONE of them wanted to stick their neck out for me (I’m from NY). I ended up leaving the US through a 1 in a million job opportunity. 15 years later all those GenXers are hitting me up on Facebook like everything is cool. The part of this episode when T mentioned that his sister tossed all of her records on the curb is analogous to what I feel black GenXers did in the 90s to “blackness”. I guess it was to the desire/necessity to assimilate and due to respectability politics. They were probably afraid their roots were going to fuck up their and made huge compromises.

I agree T, Family Business while not Lumet's best is FAR from a bad movie and has some really interesting framing around lineage, immigration and class/social mobility
