#38: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
Gen X was one of the first generations that had their whole personality formed by pop culture and TV. So, using a Brady Bunch meme to explain complicated generational dynamics seems pretty spot-on. As we can see from this scientifically researched image of Marcia, Jan, and Cindy Brady, Gen X has some strong feelings about being “The Forgotten Generation.”
This interpretation of generations makes perfect sense. Boomers are Marcia Brady, the ones who think they’re so popular and amazing and perfect. Millennials are the babies of the family in this situation, represented by Cindy Brady. Millennials think they’re adorable in their naivete. And last but not least, we have Gen X played by none other than Jan Brady. Like Jan, Gen X is sick of everyone else’s shenanigans and just wants to be appreciated.
