Quiz: Parents from Gen X or Brood X?
Two horrifying groups of adults due to emerge
Perhaps you’ve heard the buzz. This spring, two rarely seen groups will emerge from lengthy confinement. Together, they will form an X convergence of unimaginable scale. Because it will be truly unsettling, it is understandable to feel confused or even to worry that you’re in danger.
By learning some key facts about the X’s, you can perhaps achieve a level of acceptance of the disquieting spectacle that is set to occur. Can you identify which group is which?
1. Sensing the moment is nigh to surface from an extremely long period of internment, entirely surrounded by juveniles, they will drag their husks into the daylight.
2. When they burst onto the scene for this long-awaited adult time, their numbers will be startling — as they normally prefer life “underground.”
3. They might be so dirty that you aren’t sure at first what you’re looking at. However, they are identifiable by bulging red eyes and general lack of verve. They may emit high-pitched cries that last for several weeks.
4. Previous collective emergence took place 10 or 17 years ago — but no one can agree about which number is correct or which incarnation of Lollapalooza was happening.
