I learned why we are always ignored

I was at a leadership conference and one of the speakers was talking about generational strife. And she talked to/about the boomers, and then the millennials, and then the zoomers. And then she said, “Gen X, I didn’t forget you, even if the rest of the world has. But I have no advice for you. For a few reasons. First, you don’t need it. You are the most independent and self-sufficient generation in the history of mankind and there is literally nothing I can teach you. Second, even if I did have something to tell you, you wouldn’t care. Third, the reason we ignore you is because the rest of us are all terrified of you. If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, we are all hiding behind you. Somehow, you’ll know what to do.”

[Edit: For the humor-impaired, this was a joke told by a speaker at a conference to win over an audience. She told jokes about every generation. This was ours. Take a chill pill and stop taking everything so damn seriously or you’re going to have a heart attack before you’re old enough to complain about the next generation’s music and slang.]
