📰 FAKE PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VOGUE CROWNS GENERATION X AS "THE COOLEST GENERATION" – JUST 40 YEARS LATE

NEW YORK, NY – (May 2025) – In a shocking turn of events, Vogue Magazine, long considered the tastemaker of the fashion elite, has finally acknowledged the existence of Generation X—and not only do we exist, apparently we are now "the cool kids."

“We always had a vague sense there was a generation between Boomers and Millennials,” said a Vogue spokesperson, “but they were quiet, detached, and mostly listening to The Cure in the corner. We assumed they were just moody interns.”

Cultural historians have confirmed that Generation X, known for surviving latchkey childhoods, Blockbuster late fees, and an unfiltered childhood diet of sugar and sarcasm, has quietly influenced everything from grunge fashion to nihilistic humor to the entire concept of “not caring about stuff.”

Gen X responded to the praise with a collective shrug, one eye roll, and a deadpan “Cool, I guess.”

Experts believe this sudden recognition may be due to Gen X entering an age where they have disposable income, greying temples, and the power to disrupt dinner parties with obscure pop culture references.

In unrelated news, AARP has released a limited edition black leather fanny pack line inspired by Eddie Vedder.
