Can confirm.
Then entire reason Generation X was called Generation X, was because it was the first generation for which living standards for the majority of them would be lower than the standards of their parents. It was the crossing point. They even embraced a kind of culture of resignation to their fates. The music, clothes and movies of the time even reflected it.
So this has been going on for a long time.
They found a way though. Millions of out of work college students and, voila, web browsers and dot coms were born.
Who's to say GenZ and the Millennials can't pull something out of their butts like Gen X did?
