Sometimes X-ers and Boomers do the same thing, but it's still not the same because the mindset is different.
Boomers "dropped out" because they didn't see any plans worth doing and besides, capitalism is evil, maaan. And they smoked pot to get "higher consciousness". With no useful results yet.
X-ers slack because the "silver" generation (Silents) own everything and Boomers run the stuff. i.e. the good jobs are already taken. (Read "13th generation".) And they smoke pot because life is shitty for them if they aren't high.
You might even say the same thing about their attitude towards (non-procreational) sex.
