The success of "Beavis and Butt-Head" on MTV in 1993, and in theaters in 1996, led to an upward career trajectory for series creator Mike Judge, who would go on to create the long-lived TV series " King of the Hill" and, in 1999, the cult hit "Office Space," a film that has made its way comfortably into the world's rotation of well-worn midnight movies. They were barely human, Beavis and Butt-Head, following their lizard brains (as they had no brain higher) toward whatever simplistic impulse they had in that moment. It's telling that two of the central figures of Gen-X were Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head, two teenage wastoids who were only just bright enough to perceive that the world contained nachos, boobs, and GWAR videos. If Millennials are accused of narcissism, phone overuse, and bad spending habits, Gen-X was seen as a generation of shiftless, idiot slackers with no ambition. Hey, Millennials! If you think that you're constantly taking it on the chin from Boomers - being accused of killing the golf industry, or spending too much money on avocado toast - you are getting a fraction of what they scooped onto Generation X.
