This Earns a Gen X "Meh."

It seems some in Generation X want to shed that moniker in favor of "Gen Goonie."

While I like "The Goonies," my laid back, slacker reaction to this is:

Part of me has never really understood the labeling of generations. I guess from a historical standpoint, it makes sense to help discern between eras in a way that crosses (some) cultural boundaries, though I suspect this is mostly an American (as in, United States of America) affectation. Maybe not. I don't know, and it's probably not all that important to know anyway.

In other words: I'm fine if some of them want to call themselves Gen Goonie. I'll stick with Gen X, because, meh.
