The most Gen X Xer Ever: David Goggins - Snowflake1996 - 12-21-2019
I think I found someone who embodies every characteristic of Generation X: David Goggins (EDIT: born 1975):

This man had a very tough upbringing. He believes that suffering is what’s needed to truly overcome obstacles and to achieve greatness. He realized that nobody was there to help him at a young age and that he himself needed to rise to the occasion to become successful.
Probably the most quintessential Gen Xer I have ever witnessed.

Correction: David Goggins was actually born in 1975, not 1976.

No problem.

My friend was also born in 1975 and he is also a quintessential Xer. Grumpy, tough and a radical individualist. My online friend born in 1980 is another, but he insists that he is an Xennial.
Also, thank you Snowflake for the video. A great piece of advice. "No lying moments between you and yourself".
