'88 here. 9/11 sits at such a clear demarcation line for us. Happened in 8th grade where you’re still straddling the fence that’s childhood, while still capable of grasping the enormity of what was unfolding.

It’s worse for us Gen-Xers. We remember living as adults in the time before it all went from kinda shitty to the diarrhea apocalypse.

'87 🙋♂️, I don’t think it’s worse for us than X’ers. 🤷♂️
Wasn’t really meant to be taken as which is worse or better.
