The forgotten generation, just lumped in with the old fuckers.
I don’t even think you’re being “bundled” per say. You’re just living long enough to take the generic “Old People Ruined Everything” flak that internet click-baiters loves to saturate younger people with. On the flip side, you’re now reaching the era in which every TV Show, radio program, and mega-mall marketing team thinks the 1980s was the peak of human civilization. So enjoy being sheep dipped in Reagan Era nostalgia for a decade or two.
My back hurts.
Back aching builds character, or so I’ve been told.
What’s scary is that some people are conflating what they see on stranger things with the real 80s. People over here definitely didn’t have the means to buy all that
What we see on Stranger Things is just advertisements for IP from the 1980s. Everything from Ghostbusters to Neverending Story to D&D is just a brand name. Hell, the centerpiece of Season 4 was a mega-mall.
It’s history through the eyes of Madison Avenue. Great if your goal is to recycle period kitche at obscene mark-ups. Which… in fairness… was the design philosophy of much of 1980s mass media.
Ahhhh, you ain’t old yet. I got tennis shoes older than you. Literally. I still have a pair of original Converse tennis shoes I bought when I was playing basketball in high school back in the 1970s. Why I still have them, I don’t know. But they are still in my closet along with a slide rule I used for math classes.
That’s a good indication of old age. Having things and memories that were once commonplace, but are now totally obsolete.
And, at last, it finally happened: we’ve been bundled with boomers. The forgotten generation, just lumped in with the old fuckers. My back hurts.

I can’t wait until my childhood is seen as the peak of civilization, because it might actually have been with how shits going lately
Get used to it. No generation seems to understand that they too will grow old and be reviled by the next generations. It has ever been so.
Grandpa Simpson was always right about “It.” We once had “It”, then we lost “It”, and now we can’t even remember what “It” was.

The oldest Millennials are about 43 right now, “over the hill” and it hurts, it hurts (mostly lower back and knees)
