Nah. Just waiting for the better term. I've heard different names bandied about recently. Zoomers, I feel like is the most prevalent.

Zoomer is just a pun on "Gen Z" and "Boomer"
In Spanish we call them "centennials" but it makes no sense when you think about it

Yeah, zoomers is more like a cute name for use in memes and such. And it's a play off of Gen Z, so not descriptive in any way.
The time for a re-name has passed. Gen Z is already entering adulthood and the workforce.
The next generation after Z should be called Generation Omega, since they are most likely humanity's last

One of things I like most about myself is being a member of Gen X

I've always secretly wished I was Gen-X. They're probably the coolest generation.

That's why it's the perfect name. It takes the absurdity of "gen z" and mashes it in a memeingful way with "boomer" which is ironic and hilarious and very representative of the generation.
You can't stand by "Gen Z." It's disgraceful and stupid.

It's time for a Gen X U.S. President. He or she would take care of us and the world.

He used it earlier today, so... he thinks you used this pretty common word... because he used it first...
I don't know, Bammer says weird shit like that

I think the next (and last) president after Trump will be some sort of Boomer AI.

I was over here all proud of using a big word. I'm embarrassed now.
I kind of think he used it a little wrong and I used it a little more rightly. But that's beside the point

You’d be speaking German if it wasn’t for them, pal.

We are . And I had a rotary phone. And you could do tricks with it.
Like , instead of long dialing the numbers , you would just click the hang-up button like morse code.
1 pause then 1 1 1 real fast for 3 etc.
Also if you dialed 411 I think and hung up the phone would ring
