Generation Lebowski
After reading this, this, and this, I was so confused. Which generation am I a member of? Like a millennial, I’m convinced that I am a very special person who deserves to succeed. Like a Gen Xer, I’m kind of lazy and I like flannel and I hate the man. Like a member of the Catalano generation, I once wanted to fuck Jordan Catalano.
But none of these generations is really me, you know?
That’s when it hit me: I’m actually a member of a totally different generation, a generation of people who were born on March 17, 1979. I only know one other person with that birthday, but I’m going to talk to him then let you know what I discover about our generation. I’m going to take the liberty of calling us “Generation Lebowski” because he and I both like that movie. Come to think of it, so do some of our friends who are either a little older or a little younger and therefore members of completely different generations, but that’s probably a fluke.
