It doesn't bode well. I recall reading about the low achieving characteristics of "Gen X" in journals and the Atlantic Monthly. That generation can't make change as a cashier, can't balance a checkbook, can't seem to grow up. Maybe there were societal shifts at work that made a generation more infantile than previous ones. In any event, it is kind of stomach churning to see that 90K people viewed a grown ass man eat kiddie meals. Makes me feel like a fossil, working 9 to 5, worrying about mowing a lawn and getting kids off to school, you know, adult stuff. Still, I weirdly admire anyone who can pull off making a living as a man-baby like Adam the Woo. God hope we don't have years of stagflation and constant crises because you know these adult-babies are seriously ill-equipped to deal with them.
Ehh, all Gen Xs are not like that.
Gen X is 1965-1980 or abouts. I was born in '76. I'm a few years' younger than Adam.
I've worked since I was 16 non-stop, including many times having multiple jobs (2-3 at a time) for a course of time throughout college, while also going through college FT and participating in lots of clubs (including a sorority).
My current work days are 8-10 hours long and I frequently have to pop in on my days' off.
My first job, in fact, was McDonalds, funny enough per our recent convos - where we [gasp!] didn't have registers in the drive-thru that could deduct change so we [gasp!] had to learn how to count back to make change for customers.
I even got promoted to management within one year at the age of 17 and held the keys to the restaurant before the age of 18 (which was technically the law at the time). I worked in swing management for several years all thru college (while also holding two other PT jobs) and was a step away from Hamburger Univ (it exists) in Oak Park, IL to continue on to get my own store to oversee after completing their corporate management development program at the age of 22.
And yes, I can also balance a checkbook.
Virtually every single one of my contemporaries (friends from high school or college) are successful in such fields as legal, business ownership, healthcare administration, hospitality, restaurant GM, the space program, government, law enforcement, etc.
So we can't be painted with a broad brush.
Adam and these asshat vloggers are a
completely different breed.
YOU.
