Nice of you to assume I was ever culturally relevant
You are now honorary Gen X.

Tell me you didn’t have a pair of UFOs in your closet.
Same thing I’m doing now: living my life without concern for my cultural relevance.
You say it like you think cultural relevancy were a good thing, and not just a marketing tool.
Wouldn’t the generation be dead by the time that happens? Look at the oldest generation currently, the boomers, they still seem to be culturally relevant, good or bad.
So I guess to answer your question, probably dead.
Why would an entire generation ever become culturally irrelevant? Is this even a thing?
Well, I guess when everyone in it is dead and everything they did is totally forgotten, which will presumably happen at some point.
At that point I guess the answer is decay
Same thing we always did, complain about it.
Millennials are the largest generation in the workforce, they were born to the boomers the largest previous generation before everything went to piss and birth rates dropped. Millennials are the next boomers, they won’t be culturally irrelevant for a long time. Sad too, as popular culture has basically broken down to just remakes and reboots of properties from our childhood
Even worse, there isn’t a next generation near the size of millennials. Part of the reason that millennials took over while Gen X didn’t was because of the size of the relative generations.
You’re also running into the issue that culture has become a lot more fragmented due to the Internet. You can present a millennial culture where most people may be aware of other subcultures even if they weren’t a part of them. I don’t know if that is going to happen for Gen Z or Alpha.
So Boomers will finally stfu about me destroying anything and everything? I think I will start living.
Come hang with us Gen X’ers. We have cookies and booze.
Some of us had too much of the booze coping with being completely ineffectual as a voting block. I’m good now, though. Sobered up in time for the real nightmare.
Still enjoy the culture that I have while accepting that I’m old as fuck.
Sadly, I expect millennials to be more annoying than boomers when this transition happens.
