Yes! Especially once they start taking an interest in your hobbies and stuff you like too. It’s so much fun if you do it right.
Just gotta be hardcore on critical thinking early so commies don’t sway them. Explaining why you do things when you do them helps tremendously, and is effective at early ages.
Very little financial benefit unless you're living on the Government system, then you can get paid handsomely for a few years until they eventually take them away and stop paying you.
Early onset dementia, uncontrolled drooling into a bucket, paralyzing fear at what is in store for them in post-Trump America and so on, BUT awesome hugs and the best little cheer leaders in the world after you come home from a day at work.
Super redpilled millennial in Los Angeles here... I don’t give a fuck about hiding. The insanity and retardation here just makes me more infuriated. My wedding in October is going to have to be cancelled because of politics, the future of my state is in flames, and my entire extended family lives here. Having to choose between leaving and not having them around for when we have a few kids or staying and weathering the shit show for the family support is one hell of a decision.
Another X’er here to confirm what my brother X’er just said. Don’t wait any longer than you absolutely have to. I was 33 for my first and my back gave out when #2 was on the way and they’re both the kind of kids you watch and say “dang, there should be twenty of them.” But I can’t make any more. ☹️
I agree! Don’t wait. Plans don’t always work. I waited for a long time too and then nothing happened. Fortunately at 35 I became pregnant. I’m lucky that I’ve had my one, but do wish I could have had more.
Our generatiion is based AF and it actually caused major headaches for advertising and PR firms b/c we saw through their bullshit and would call them out; they basically stopped marketing to us and focused on BB's and Millennials. Our generation is also (imo) one that largely see's through the BLM horseshit, antifa, etc... where boomers put their head in the sand, and millennials suck it up like a sponge.
My dad bought a satellite dish in 1981, long before they began scrambling the signals.
I can't tell you how many times I saw news people doing "live" broadcasts where they got makeup applied, rehearsed their speeches, and sometimes even mocked what they were about to report.
I've been aware of fake news since I was very young.
No just sick of the most do nothing melancholy drug addict generation strut around like they've done something. All these looney commie celebs are gen x. All of these commie prof.Gen x. And so on. It was your generation that started the self loathing for being white. Dont get so puffed up
While doing absolutely nothing. Fuck gen X, every article in the news criticizing millennials and boomers was a product of the Gen-x, and their MO, deflect and blame someone else.
We weren't depressed as kids at all. That's total bullshit and show how little you understand us.
We lived life and have done more shit than you could imagine. We found joy in life because everything was shit. That's what grunge was about. And we weren't posers, either. Being "trendy" was an insult. We were and are, individuals first.
Funny how I never saw articles saying Gen X were socialists. And most millennials vote for HRC and Bernie. Gen X and the hated boomers are the ones who put Trump in office.
If it were up to millennials, we'd have Bernie as president right now. Great job! GTFO.
Gex X is the people in charge of the commie media, is the group running the commie universities, is the most uninvolved and apathetic parents on earth.
Gen X's entire game has been blaming boomers and millennials for everything they fucked up, you are pathetic junkies, cucks, commies, and you never take responsibility for your failures.
Gen X was the first wave of modern political correctness and the first backlash to it. To say that Gen X is the people in charge of the media is pretty false though. It's commie boomers hiring commie millennials fresh out of J school.
The people you read about getting fired for being conservatives?
I know I know, no one wants to admit they are full of shit, even when someone presents a list of GenXer's that are on the top tier list of tech CEOs and every single major news anchor onboard the commie train.
Even literal NYT bestselling Marxist authors.
still can't accept it. Well fuck you, those are the only things you gen Xer's are good at, ignorance, denial, and apathy.
Millennials r da best guyz! It da stooopid genx and boomers dat made r lives bad.
We only had 1 computer wit internet growing up!
...40 years old and still crying, blaming your parents for everything. Go to therapy, dork. You're seriously pathetic. Most entitled generation in human history. GET TO FUCKING WORK.
Antifa is not Gen X you dumb fuck lol. It's loser milennial faggots like yourself. Who even cares about the rest of those faggots. They can make their own choices. At least they have jobs, lol.
Keep crying, pussy. Millennials vote for Bernie. Gen X and Boomers put Trump in office, not your crying bitch generation.
All this bullshit is not because of Gen X (lol, retarded), it's because of faggot millennials who identify overwhelmingly as "socialists". It's your shit generation that is the problem and has always been the problem.
But wait! Hold on! I'm sure you're going to blame someone else for all your problems any second now. It's the millennial way!
Waaaaaah! They told me to go to college. Waaaaaaaah I can't have an iPhone, 18 tattoos, 5G internet, and go to coachella every year AND have an apartment! Waaaaaah!
Yeah, the smallest generation of Americans in 100 years is ReSpOnSiBlE fOr EvErYtHinG!
If you faggot millennials would stop complaining for two seconds maybe you could accomplish something. Fucking 30 years old and still crying. Total bitches.
Whaaaa, there were 5% less of us than the boomers for 20 years, whaaaaaa.
Bro, you have Elon Musk as a genX. Why is he the only awesome guy out there rocking the world stage right now? Are we seriously going to have to go another decade for millennials to catch up in seniority to start pushing this world in a positive direction? Because hardly any genX have stepped up to the plate, your generation has like 5 real good leaders and innovators out of 65 million people. The rest are nonparticipating and commies. Fucking 20 years your generation jacked off in the corner.
Fudds are a cancer to the 2nd Amendment. Recant your fuddism or I hope you like all your break action shot guns and bolt action .22s after you gave up the God given rights to own basic things as ARs, AKs and standard capacity magazines and drums when the enemy comes knocking.
Proud of the fact you CC a full frame who isn't a commie millenial.
The Anti-Gunners studied the gun community to look for ways to divide gun owners. They discovered that the Fudds saw pistols as a criminal’s tool and mag fed rifles as unnecessary and also associated with gangs/crime. That’s why they pushed the feature bans so hard, to drive a wedge into gun owners in the hopes that the Fudds will support “sensible” 2A restrictions.
Thus the meme: If you support one ban, once they ban everything else, your hunting rifle or shotgun will be labeled a “sniper rifle” and “assault weapon” and confiscated.
Say it with me: Not one more inch on the 2A, not one more new gun law. Dismantle the NFA.
Is that was a fudd is? I thought they were old school dems that only care about their deer rifle, usually a 30.-06, and dont mind all other guns being banned cause theyll get to go beer hunting with their buddies.
Fudd as in Elmer. People who believe the second amendment is for hunting only. They generally believe bolt action and goose guns are the only things that should be legal. They also chug cocks like they're made of Gatorade.
It was more a joke that he will be voting since he’s dead. He died in Washington state where we were from, but I live with my family in Minnesota...double blue.
I remember when Washington was VERY red. A whole shit ton of Gerrymandering and leftist bullshit flipped that beautiful state.
Our generation was the first to suffer the fallout of the No-Fault-Divorce, the first to be mass murdered in the womb, the first to deal en masse with two-income households and the first to grow up in the modern welfare era.
It's all over the place here and not just noobs, there seem to be some gullible ones jumping on the bandwagon who have been here a while.
This meme has nothing to do with MAGA. It's intended to drive a wedge. If a boomer has a TD_Win account, they aren't unrepentant old hippies still trying to destroy the country. In fact, many of us never were. Unfortunately we have some real deep thinkers that persist in repeating this trope. It's truly sad.
Lol so it's not okay to make fun of boomers, but millennials is fine? Either they're both okay or they're both wrong. There are plenty of good people and cucks in both groups.
Nah, it’s a legitimate issue. There is a generational issue insofar as the Boomers have ridden interest rates from 20% in 1980 all the way down to 0% now, which has made them rich as all out because their stocks and houses have appreciated as a result. Now there are people earning what used to be decent money who can’t even buy a decent house around major metro areas because the towns are filled up with empty-nester retired boomers who have huge stock accounts that allow them to afford the property taxes and remain in their 3500-4000 sq ft homes and vacation in their 2nd and even 3rd vacation homes. Meanwhile 30-45 year olds with kids are stuck in little rental homes because said empty nesters won’t just sell their primary residence and move down to Florida like the generation before did so as to make room for the younger generation. It’s a big reason why people are moving south — young families can’t afford a house in the northern states.
Now the dang federal reserve won’t let prices reset, so they’re freezing younger generations out of decent homes and the ability to invest at reasonable equity prices.
All of this generation shit is simply more attempts to lump people into categories and then generalize about them - it's all identity politics bullshit.
I agree. Major fault lies with the hippies who never grew out of their radicalism and hating their parents then took over the education system. But t wasn't the entire generation. Aren't Millennials the children of Gen X? Many in my gen decided to let the school raise their children while they wanted to become friends with them instead of dishing out discipline.
This is exactly my story of that day also. Even down to the watching The Price is Right part.
...and the joke was the one about NASA only buying Sprite because they couldn't get 7-Up.
I was in my classroom, we were all cheering then it exploded. The room was Silent, I remember my Teacher MR. Andrews saying "oh my God". No one cried because I dont think we knew what was happening. Remember a teacher won to get to go on that flight, otherwise no one was watching the launches
Raise you hand if you watched government videos of car wrecks, bus wrecks, graphic carnage, etc. to scare you into behaving and not doing drugs. Those things were fucking gruesome and sickening for a 4th grader. I think they actually started these in the 50's but were still showing them in the 70's.
How about if you watched films on a projector that were meant to warn you about pedophiles or you were told before school was let out that there was a creepy van spotted driving around town and approaching kids?
There were scares- but I grew up in one of the safest burbs in the world. We joked about it-
The sad part, is that the razor blade thing turned out to be an Urban Myth. Sad in that it needlessly freaked the fuck out of a lot of parents and children.
They weren't all scares though. Though I grew up in Canada, I actually remember the news story in the small city I grew up in, in the late 1980s of a middle aged couple who were putting razor blades in candy apples. Why? Because they hated the kids knocking on their door at Halloween. No other reason. They did get caught, charged, and did prison time. I think the charges were mischief and intent to cause harm.
Mischief in Canada is a serious offence unlike the US. It has both a indictable(federal up to 10 years) and summery(remand to provincial jail or lesser sentence) component. I'll see if I can find the story in the archives, providing they haven't gone to pay. Wikipedia really is complete shit on a lot of stuff.
well, its a logical thing to get carried away with believing, after that wave of psychos tampering with foods and otc medicines.... didnt that one lady inject tylenol bottles or something?
Yes. She murdered her husband- and murdered some poor woman who was unlucky enough to purchase the tampered with Excedrin. The Tylenol killer has never been caught.
And on top of that you walked home with that creep on the loose everyday with no supervision. It floors me today to see buses stop at every freaking driveway.
I saw it happen in between classes on a big old 20" TV in the library. There was just a handful of people who actually saw it happen since the next period was seconds away. We just stood there in silence. When i made it to Geometry class, late of course, I walked in and was immediately bitched at by the teacher. I explained that the shuttle just exploded and everyone laughed at me like it was a lame excuse. No one believed it happened, including the teacher.
We didn't have any grief councilors, no excused days off to "process". Maybe a few discussions in some classes, but largely we all grieved at home briefly with our parents during President Reagan's address from the oval office. Different times.
I don't think the adults in charge who provide therapy pets and grief counseling for everything, do the kids any favors.
The song Jeremy by Pearl Jam was inspired by a real event. A kid in Richland, TX killed himself in a classroom. They didn't even cancel classes and everyone was back to school the next day.
Interestingly, large numbers of millennials were raised by boomers, not gen X. Also within a generation it depends on how people were raised. I free ranged my kids much more than my peers and got all kind of grief for ir. I remember trespassing with my sister to explore a falling down old barn. Good times. We climbed trees crazy high, ran through the woods, hopped fences etc... To be fair our parents were neglectful within the context of their generation and I am deeply grateful now
The closest thing we had to a brain stunt was TV and we only had like 4 channels initially. I guess we had Atari but that got old after an hour or so. We had computers too but they didn't do much. I saw a one year old (?) in a stroller the other day staring at an iPad with the blank retarded glassy eyed stare and just thought, holy shit there's a future liability.
4 channels and there was still more to watch than the 400 channels of cable.
We had one of those antennas on our roof and a box with a dial on top of the tv that you'd have to turn and it would rotate the antenna to get better reception.
Heck sometimes someone would have to sit there holding on to the antenna so you could get a decent picture. At least we had color I guess. I remember our first color TV and just watching that thing for a week straight.
i dont hate them either. It just feels a little bit generationally isolating sometimes because we were rasied on the good life during Regan prosperity, and as we grew up it started melting away. We were supposed to be able to get a job, raise a family with a house and two cars and retire. Simple. Just like everyone else who came before us. We got fucked over.
The kids who came after us got fucked over too, just as bad as we did, but they were raised during leaner times, and they don't even know what theyre missing. They don't know what life was like before globohomo at all, so they dont miss it. Boomer-gen all are living with the benefits of the life they led, they get their homes, their retirements, everything is stable for them. They know we were fucked over. They know shit is way more miserable now than its ever been, but they don't talk about that partly out of guilt and partly because theyre old now, what can they do about it anyway?
Of course this is all in the context of very broad generalizations.
Honestly I really fucking do. My parents' awful, decadent generation of baby murdering, divorce-frenzied, self centered assholes...
Sorry if you find that needlessly divisive, but I find the boomers to be completely intolerable. They ushered in a pretty fucked up cultural shift that has screwed every subsequent generation pretty badly.
I am seeing this, my oldest is in the older cohort and youngest in the younger and their friends are very different. The cynicism is deep with these kids. The press only publicizes the slacker and ignores the ones working their butts off.
It's pretty amazing how readily black people are wiling to embrace the ideas and actions of some totally shit human beings and at the same time tell whitey that he's complete shit even if he's done nothing wrong.
You are the first person in more than four years to get the reference. I'm impressed. And I love a good Sidecar or a Singapore Sling, for the ironic retro campiness. ;-)
We were forgotten even when we were growing up, often left to fend for ourselves. The sun and stars entirely revolved around the Millenials and Boomers. We were called slackers and yet you have government people like AOC who have never even seen a garbage disposal before (she didn't grow up poor so it means she never even had to do dishes). On the other hand I split and hauled wood all summer to buy my first computer (Vic 20) and when I mowed lawns I wasn't charging people fucking $40. I guess it just sort of depended on what your parents were like but we all had chores. I know kids in their 20's who have never done a single chore in their lives.
Maybe we're more like the Silent Generation (like my parents). They were born during the Depression, little kids during WW2, got to be teens during the 50's, and then were youngish adults having their kids during the Camelot era. I feel like this particular generation really got to live and grow up during some amazing times. And yet, they seem to be forgotten...hence, the name
Not only that, but children were seen as an inconvenience pretty much from the late 1960s all the way until the early 1980s, so birth rates were below normal even without abortion.
100% agree. I remember all that crap and now we ARE like our grandparents. At least me; conservative, take care of my family, work hard and want to be left alone. I look at my parents and just cannot understand why they cannot see past all the BS that MSM states day after day.
Mid 70s here. I think mid 60s and Early 70s spawned the Millennials, My Kids are pretty based, as most kids are that were born from 2005 and up. All my daughters friends are on the trump train and actually question BLM, antifa and Demstuff.
Millenials are generally the spawn of boomers with some Gen-X thrown in. Not too many Gen-X'ers were having kids from 1980 to 1994 (especially when compared to boomers).
I hated Boomers with a passion until I was in my 30's. I've met some awesome Millennial but in general I have very little respect for them. I wouldn't call it hate so much as sever lack of respect. First gen. I've seen that has accomplished nothing at all and complains about those who have. Never seen a generation so "woke" and yet completely blind at the same time.
I don't hate Boomers -- I have Boomer cousins; I love my cousins.
I don't hate Millenials -- I have Millenial kids; I love my kids.
I don't hate Z's -- I have Z kids and grandkids; I love my kids/grandkids.
I do kinda hate it when people say "it's all your (not muy group's) fault"; I think there's plenty of blame to go around and share.
If I want to know who put me here; I just need to look in the mirror.
Yep- could it be that there’s good and bad boomers? And good and bad gen x? And good and bad millennials and zs? Almost like there’s good and bad white people? And good and bad black people?
Gen X here. I’m the tail end on gen X, my sister is a millennial. Both raised my the same “boomer” parents under the same roof. Same exact upbringing. I can say I think the change happened when they fully implemented Marxism in our school systems. That’s the only difference between me and my sister. I remember still saying the pledge of allegiance before class. I remember learning about both sides of history etc. my sister got different schooling, different textbooks and the “no child left behind” nonsense. I worked hard for my achievements. She got participation trophies. It created 2 entirely polar opposite adults.
I'm a millennial (85), and for some reason I just don't relate to the rest of my generation. People say it's probably because I was raised by both of my parents, who are still married. I went to catholic school. I was a boy scout. But what the hell do they know?
I'm '62 and have literally nothing in common with Boomers and have hated them since childhood. The dates are debatable but the cultural lines are crystal clear.
I was born in '64 and my parents in '37 and '39. They were from the lost generation. They remembered the depression, the war, Korea, Vietnam, they were so stressed out.
Some academics have moved the boomer label to '62 and before, like Neil Howe who is a generation researcher. Also as I started college years after my peers mos of my fellow students were well into gen X and we enjoyed Gen X movies like Repo Man. Gen X music, etc... I can relate to Bill Burr and Joe Rogan.
Nope. Baby boomer classification applies to those from 1945-1964. It was the younger baby boomers (born from mid 1950s - mid 60s) who generally had millennials (born 80s). Im right in the middle of gen x and my parents were born in mid-40s. My kids are considered Gen Z.
Boomers 1945-1964 --> on average children would be born (1970 - 1989)
Genx - 1965-1980 --> on average their children would be born (1980-2005)
Millennial - 1981 - 1996 --> on average their children would be born (2006-2021)
So millennials on average were likely raised by younger boomers and older gen-xers. Most probably born to parents who were born 1960-1970.
Yep although I would add that some of us older GenX did raise some spoiled brats. I think when you grow up sort of on your own like a lot of us did you might spoil your own kids.
Some for sure, but I would find it hard to believe that "most" were birthed by parents born in those years. Average age of conception is early mid-twenties for most boomers, so your premise would be based on this generation conceiving mostly in their 30s, which would make the average age of conception highest in boomers compared to every other known generation in history. However, we know this is not true.
No, millennials are the late children of the boomers. Either children of boomers that came of age after Roe V Wade and killed their first spawns or second marriage children.
That's why millennials have the reputation of being so coddled. Boomers full of guilt over fucking up their first marriage or full of guilt over murdering their first few babies.
Gen X- but from 76 to 79, there's a good amount of overlap with the oldest millenials. The oldest millenials are 40 to late 30's. You have more in common with them than someone who was born in the mid to late 60's.
Why would you think that? You left us to largely raise ourselves because you could/t be bothered and we did. I don't hate you guys for doing that to us but you made us what we are.
The movie is a time capsule. It shows how life was back then. You had the stoner, who comes from a poor dysfunctional family. Broken home. Divorce was really ramping up in the 80s, which is why they called us latchkey kids - both parents worked, kids would come home to an empty house. My Mom stopped teaching so she could stay home with us. My parents have been married 53 years. I was one of the lucky ones.
Then you have the jock. High school still demanded participation in sports. If you sucked at sports, you were considered less of a man. Being a nerd wasn't cool - it got your ass kicked. And they would call you a fairy, homo, queer, faggot, etc. You had to develop thick skin.
Then the emo chick. She'd be a lesbian now. And a VSCO girl. Thing is, you didn't get social credit and affirmation for being a weirdo then. You were just a weirdo. Everybody knew you'd probably wind up dead in a ditch for being a weirdo, and didn't really tolerate your nonsense.
Then there's the princess. Rich parents. Privileged life. Brand new car when she turned 16. These chicks traveled in packs at the mall and at school. Everybody hated them, and wanted to be them (for chicks - dudes wanted to be the jock). I remember them being mean and vacuous, but not shrill. They were who they were. Little clueless. But not all SJW harridans like white chicks are now.
Lastly, the nerd. That was me. Socially awkward. Way too smart for high school. College bound. Sucked at sports. Couldn't talk to women. But you know what, I outgrew it. I was into D&D and comic books and video games before those things were socially acceptable.
Nowadays, I have rediscovered some of the manly arts, because I was determined my sons would not go through their youth socially awkward like I was. So we're into guns, and outdoor activities (swimming, hiking, camping). I managed to raise some godly young men - fullblown MAGA loving, patriotic Americans. Had I not been the product of my times, I'm not sure I could have done it. I made damn sure my kids weren't brainwashed by their culture or government schools. I made myself the breadwinner so they'd have a Mom at home like I did. And I stayed married to her and loved her and tried to be the best pattern of a man I could be, so they would become good men too.
That's how we win back this country. I think the Millennials are probably on the whole lost. So it falls to us, the X'ers, to make better people to take their place.
Thumbs up love your comment. The different personality types you describe there was friction at times between the groups but mostly we also got along. I had a lot of friends from different cliques. There were so many cliques. It amazes me how similar all the millenials dress because we had so many "looks".
Yep yep. May Parents Brought on this mess by Voting the idiots in in the first place, yet accept NO RESPONSIBILITY. Funny we We gen Xers basically saw this shit show coming, hell we were the last kids that actually had a childhood with really no restrictions.
I tried to watch, my friends loved it, just could not get through it. In my late high school years I was busy working and supporting myself so I could not relate to the kids in the movies
They were mostly slightly to severely absurd movies, stylistically. Vacation, Weird Science, Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles... all the situations were deliberately blown way out of proportion from the perspective of the teenagers because teenagers blow everything out of proportion. Absurd cinema isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
Although I have always thought Pretty in Pink was garbage. I can see how the other movies might come off as silly and a little whiny, but Pretty in Pink was just plain terrible.
Yes! I had a theory that's why Millenials and Boomers bitch about each other because they are so similar. They are like brothers who always fight and bicker.
I always think of Gen Xers as the "middle child" who doesn't get half the attention the older and younger sibilings do. Except for a period in the nineties when the media couldn't analyze us enough.
I am a GenXr but I always laugh at the people raging on Millenials. Bitch, WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK CREATED THEM? Be the conservative and own up to it. It was the Boomer and some of my generation that created the entire "helicopter parent", "everyone gets a trophy", "no spanking", "nut allergy", "ADD", "Austism", "no bullying", "no dodgeball", "cheating in school is ok"...
Conservatives are not going to conserve shit until we own up to our own failings first. That is what liberals do right? Blame their own faults on other people?
The dirtbag hippie didn't just disappear from old black and white photos, these commie filth grew up, had garbage kids and are in WAY too many positions of cultural influence. Hollywood, education. Being a hippie should be viewed worse than being a member of the KKK.
I don't really like what a lot of them did back in the days but some of the most respected people in my life are Boomers. Probably moreso than my gen (X).
All Gen-X's have bad backs for carrying Boomers for years, now it's even worse because we have to carry Millennial's too!!! And if you are a Millennial or a Boomer reading this on The Donald you are not who I am talking about.
I’m 23 am I a millennial? And my dad is 50 does that make him gen x? If it is then people his age are extremely based lol. If I’m a millennial then I’m apart of the biggest loser age bracket ever
I'm Gen-X and can completely relate with this. However, my former classmates, I have come to realize with complete horror, have grown up to be the most insane group of crazy left wing nutcases.
I have learned over the years that every generation has it's greats and it's animals.
I am spending considerable time looking through my community for Patriots with which to align and have founds people of all generations. I am thankful that we will have a militia of all generations, strength, wisdom, innovation, experience.
My older brother was born in 81 so at the time he was gen-x and I was born in 84 and was considered gen-y, then I got lumped in with the millennial faggots and then my brother did. Some of us millennials are alright but quite frankly I’m pissed that I get lumped in with those turds
I'm Gen-X and I approve this message.
I am considered a millennial, but I self-identity as a boomer and a fudd.
For clarification... I am a millennial who conceal carries a full size 1911.
You're a millennial who isn't brainwashed.
I'm a millennial who rejects the label millennial. I own a business, have a house and a wife and a dog and might have a kid one of these days.
A bit of unsolicited advice from a Gen-Xer; start now and have lots of 'em. More benefits than I can list.
It’s in the plan for the end of the year. My wife is a planner, so it’s got to be when it’s in her plans lol
What benefits? Isn’t it just a $2000 tax credit?
lol. No, children are the benefit. There is little financial benefit to having them, but they sure are great to have around.
Yes! Especially once they start taking an interest in your hobbies and stuff you like too. It’s so much fun if you do it right.
Just gotta be hardcore on critical thinking early so commies don’t sway them. Explaining why you do things when you do them helps tremendously, and is effective at early ages.
Very little financial benefit unless you're living on the Government system, then you can get paid handsomely for a few years until they eventually take them away and stop paying you.
Early onset dementia, uncontrolled drooling into a bucket, paralyzing fear at what is in store for them in post-Trump America and so on, BUT awesome hugs and the best little cheer leaders in the world after you come home from a day at work.
You maybe shouldn't have any.....
Agreed. Wish I had at least two more.
Still considering being an evolutionary dead end?
...Millennials.
Im a millennial...but I have a high-paying job, house, wife, and 3 kids. Otherwise Im fairly stereotypical millennial.
Except avacado toast. Its just lazy guac. I laugh at my wife when she eats it.
Yeah but bro so healthy! On some whole wheat toast there's some good fats and carbs.
Try it with Everything Bagel seasoning on top. It’s amazeballs. —X’er mom 😘
Peanutbutter and Avocado sandwiches are the bomb
Lol I've been eating avocado toast since the 80s, when everyone thought I was nuts. It's friggen delicious on seedy, crusty bread.
kek!
And true.
You got one right here
Super redpilled millennial in Los Angeles here... I don’t give a fuck about hiding. The insanity and retardation here just makes me more infuriated. My wedding in October is going to have to be cancelled because of politics, the future of my state is in flames, and my entire extended family lives here. Having to choose between leaving and not having them around for when we have a few kids or staying and weathering the shit show for the family support is one hell of a decision.
Another X’er here to confirm what my brother X’er just said. Don’t wait any longer than you absolutely have to. I was 33 for my first and my back gave out when #2 was on the way and they’re both the kind of kids you watch and say “dang, there should be twenty of them.” But I can’t make any more. ☹️
Don't wait. I waited until 35 and I regret it bigtime.
I agree! Don’t wait. Plans don’t always work. I waited for a long time too and then nothing happened. Fortunately at 35 I became pregnant. I’m lucky that I’ve had my one, but do wish I could have had more.
We’re working on it
^ This!
Our generatiion is based AF and it actually caused major headaches for advertising and PR firms b/c we saw through their bullshit and would call them out; they basically stopped marketing to us and focused on BB's and Millennials. Our generation is also (imo) one that largely see's through the BLM horseshit, antifa, etc... where boomers put their head in the sand, and millennials suck it up like a sponge.
Because we basically raised ourselves. Self sufficient Gen X doesnt buy the PR
Yup. Latchkey kid here
"Did I ever tell you to eat up, go to bed, wash your ears, or do your homework? No. I respected your privacy, and I taught you self-reliance."
Gen X is who's been running PR for the last 10 years.
We do? You should see what my high school and college classes post to Facebook. I'm afraid they're as old as I am.
But there's a few exceptions. With my High School classmates. College, forget about it.
My dad bought a satellite dish in 1981, long before they began scrambling the signals.
I can't tell you how many times I saw news people doing "live" broadcasts where they got makeup applied, rehearsed their speeches, and sometimes even mocked what they were about to report.
I've been aware of fake news since I was very young.
and lots of bushy porn!
This is so true.
Gen xers are a self loathing weak generation. Most cucks I've seen are from them
The attention off millennials for three seconds? They're throwing a fit, guys.
No just sick of the most do nothing melancholy drug addict generation strut around like they've done something. All these looney commie celebs are gen x. All of these commie prof.Gen x. And so on. It was your generation that started the self loathing for being white. Dont get so puffed up
While doing absolutely nothing. Fuck gen X, every article in the news criticizing millennials and boomers was a product of the Gen-x, and their MO, deflect and blame someone else.
Sounds like you're doing most of the deflecting here tough guy.
that's right, never take responsibility generation slackers
Agree
We will be when it's our turn.
Why cause they did drugs listened to grudge and were depressed? Most cucks you see are gen x
We weren't depressed as kids at all. That's total bullshit and show how little you understand us.
We lived life and have done more shit than you could imagine. We found joy in life because everything was shit. That's what grunge was about. And we weren't posers, either. Being "trendy" was an insult. We were and are, individuals first.
Funny how I never saw articles saying Gen X were socialists. And most millennials vote for HRC and Bernie. Gen X and the hated boomers are the ones who put Trump in office.
If it were up to millennials, we'd have Bernie as president right now. Great job! GTFO.
Gex X is the people in charge of the commie media, is the group running the commie universities, is the most uninvolved and apathetic parents on earth.
Gen X's entire game has been blaming boomers and millennials for everything they fucked up, you are pathetic junkies, cucks, commies, and you never take responsibility for your failures.
get a load of this jelly!
what is there to be jealous of, also stop using teenager slang you're over 40 years old.
ok, dad
I think he was literally just calling you jelly.
Gen X was the first wave of modern political correctness and the first backlash to it. To say that Gen X is the people in charge of the media is pretty false though. It's commie boomers hiring commie millennials fresh out of J school.
The people you read about getting fired for being conservatives?
That's us.
Hey bro- any of those gen Xer's getting fired for being conservative?
I know I know, no one wants to admit they are full of shit, even when someone presents a list of GenXer's that are on the top tier list of tech CEOs and every single major news anchor onboard the commie train.
Even literal NYT bestselling Marxist authors.
still can't accept it. Well fuck you, those are the only things you gen Xer's are good at, ignorance, denial, and apathy.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Millennials r da best guyz! It da stooopid genx and boomers dat made r lives bad. We only had 1 computer wit internet growing up!
...40 years old and still crying, blaming your parents for everything. Go to therapy, dork. You're seriously pathetic. Most entitled generation in human history. GET TO FUCKING WORK.
GenX are the commies hiring the commie Millenials. GenX is the heart of the cancerous rot in American society
Who the fuck are you fooling, the MO- blame Millenials and Boomers
Steve Huffman - Genx
Bezos- GenX
Zuckerberg-genX
Dorsey - GenX
Brian Stelter- GenX
Jim Acosta- GenX
Racheal Maddow- GenX
Don Lemon- GenX
Anderson Cooper- GenX
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski- GenX
John Oliver- GenX
Chris Cuomo- GenX
BLM lesbian founders- GenX
Antifa cell leaders- GenX
NYT board of directors- 90% GenX
Author of White Fragility- GenX
Lol, what do you fucking think a millennial is?
Born 1980 - 2000 buddy.
The only tech faggot that is Gen X is Dorsey.
Huffman is 83
Zuck is 84
Antifa is not Gen X you dumb fuck lol. It's loser milennial faggots like yourself. Who even cares about the rest of those faggots. They can make their own choices. At least they have jobs, lol.
Keep crying, pussy. Millennials vote for Bernie. Gen X and Boomers put Trump in office, not your crying bitch generation.
All this bullshit is not because of Gen X (lol, retarded), it's because of faggot millennials who identify overwhelmingly as "socialists". It's your shit generation that is the problem and has always been the problem.
But wait! Hold on! I'm sure you're going to blame someone else for all your problems any second now. It's the millennial way!
Waaaaaah! They told me to go to college. Waaaaaaaah I can't have an iPhone, 18 tattoos, 5G internet, and go to coachella every year AND have an apartment! Waaaaaah!
Fucking pussies. You needed more bullying.
Yeah, the smallest generation of Americans in 100 years is ReSpOnSiBlE fOr EvErYtHinG!
If you faggot millennials would stop complaining for two seconds maybe you could accomplish something. Fucking 30 years old and still crying. Total bitches.
Whaaaa, there were 5% less of us than the boomers for 20 years, whaaaaaa.
Bro, you have Elon Musk as a genX. Why is he the only awesome guy out there rocking the world stage right now? Are we seriously going to have to go another decade for millennials to catch up in seniority to start pushing this world in a positive direction? Because hardly any genX have stepped up to the plate, your generation has like 5 real good leaders and innovators out of 65 million people. The rest are nonparticipating and commies. Fucking 20 years your generation jacked off in the corner.
Fudds are a cancer to the 2nd Amendment. Recant your fuddism or I hope you like all your break action shot guns and bolt action .22s after you gave up the God given rights to own basic things as ARs, AKs and standard capacity magazines and drums when the enemy comes knocking.
Proud of the fact you CC a full frame who isn't a commie millenial.
The Anti-Gunners studied the gun community to look for ways to divide gun owners. They discovered that the Fudds saw pistols as a criminal’s tool and mag fed rifles as unnecessary and also associated with gangs/crime. That’s why they pushed the feature bans so hard, to drive a wedge into gun owners in the hopes that the Fudds will support “sensible” 2A restrictions.
Thus the meme: If you support one ban, once they ban everything else, your hunting rifle or shotgun will be labeled a “sniper rifle” and “assault weapon” and confiscated.
Say it with me: Not one more inch on the 2A, not one more new gun law. Dismantle the NFA.
Dismantle the ATF.
pssst he doesn't know what fudd means, lol. He thinks it means he likes old guns. We can absolve him for his sin since he has a ccw.
Thanks... Yes I think I may be misunderstanding what a fudd is... But I am open to enlightenment!
Hahah... Maybe I misunderstood what a fudd is... Because my rack of ARs and Minis don't seem to conform to this description :-D
Is that was a fudd is? I thought they were old school dems that only care about their deer rifle, usually a 30.-06, and dont mind all other guns being banned cause theyll get to go beer hunting with their buddies.
Thats a Fudd. "banning bad guns is ok, the gubbamint would never take my shogun."
"YoU DoNt NeEd ThIrTy RoUnDs To HuNt!!!!"
Looney Tunes has actually confiscated Elmer Fudd's shotgun. He now makes do with a scythe (yes, a scythe).
Confiscated Yosemite Sam's guns as well.
A scythe? How very muslim of him.
Also applies to 1911 Guys who don't care about mag bans over 8 rounds, because that's all their 1911s take anyway.
The next law will be “No more then 10 rounds on your person.”
Fudd as in Elmer. People who believe the second amendment is for hunting only. They generally believe bolt action and goose guns are the only things that should be legal. They also chug cocks like they're made of Gatorade.
I think I didn't have a clear understanding of what a fudd is
How did that happen? Did you go to a school that didn't give participation trophies?
His father probably has a measurable testosterone level. Which is so rare that it's almost a super power these days.
I’m gen Y who grew up on gen X culture. Let’s bridge the gap. No more division.
I'm for it!
Me too but I don't dislike Boomers, in general. Just the rabid commie boomers.
I like the Vietnam Veteran boomers. I respect the fuck out of them.
My dad was one. Died august 2016 and was going to vote GEOTUS....unfortunately he is now a die-hard democrat.
Do you live in a blue state?
It was more a joke that he will be voting since he’s dead. He died in Washington state where we were from, but I live with my family in Minnesota...double blue.
I remember when Washington was VERY red. A whole shit ton of Gerrymandering and leftist bullshit flipped that beautiful state.
Yeah that's what I mean..only Democraps can make dead republicans vote Democrat. It's Democrap magic.
Reporting in late, Gen-X, heavy on slacker
^this is your real gen x. Slackers.
Dude, eat a Snickers.
Que the sitcom laugh track you corporate deepthroating faggot.
Calm down, okay?
He called us slackers, guys...
I mean... are we slackers or do we run the world? Gonna have to pick one.
No, I said the only participants in your generation are activist commies. Which is really not better.
Our generation was the first to suffer the fallout of the No-Fault-Divorce, the first to be mass murdered in the womb, the first to deal en masse with two-income households and the first to grow up in the modern welfare era.
Funny how you never hear us crying about it.
under-rated comment
It's all over the place here and not just noobs, there seem to be some gullible ones jumping on the bandwagon who have been here a while.
This meme has nothing to do with MAGA. It's intended to drive a wedge. If a boomer has a TD_Win account, they aren't unrepentant old hippies still trying to destroy the country. In fact, many of us never were. Unfortunately we have some real deep thinkers that persist in repeating this trope. It's truly sad.
Good and I will join you. This promotion of hate and violence that's happening here is a big deviation from our norm. I suspect Chinese influencers!
I'm an old hippie, reject "Boomer", according to some random dipshit who pointed that out a week or so ago
Yeah, I was the 5 year old during the Summer of Love, trippin' balls on LSD at Woodstock, and banging my shirtless, mud-covered hippie girlfriend.
Just another form of this:
bigot n. One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
Boomer is just the new insult du jour now, people don't even know how to apply it correctly. It's just another divisive term to promote ageism.
The boomer meme, much like Karen, "transcended" the use of trashing on a specific type of person and is now used for basically everything
I'm not a boomer, but I view it as part of the culture war.
Millennials want to blame anyone and everyone for why they're a loser. I view anyone who uses the term 'boomer' to be a loser by default. A victim.
There are good ones. If 50% of Gen X are worthwhile people, I would guess 10% of Millennials are worthwhile.
Usually it's the ones raised by 2 parents. The ones who hustle in meaningful ways, not in building a big TicToc following.
My DIL is a millennial and openly hates her generation. It is never everyone, it is the generational zeitgeist.
In fairness I use it to rip on myself when I suddenly forget how to use technology.
The fact that you are lumping everyone of a given age together means you have already been lead astray.
Lol so it's not okay to make fun of boomers, but millennials is fine? Either they're both okay or they're both wrong. There are plenty of good people and cucks in both groups.
Zoomers kicked it up again when they didn't realize their parents and authority figures were gen X and early millennials, not boomers.
But while it was repopularized, millennials hopped back on it as yet another claim to victimhood.
Nah, it’s a legitimate issue. There is a generational issue insofar as the Boomers have ridden interest rates from 20% in 1980 all the way down to 0% now, which has made them rich as all out because their stocks and houses have appreciated as a result. Now there are people earning what used to be decent money who can’t even buy a decent house around major metro areas because the towns are filled up with empty-nester retired boomers who have huge stock accounts that allow them to afford the property taxes and remain in their 3500-4000 sq ft homes and vacation in their 2nd and even 3rd vacation homes. Meanwhile 30-45 year olds with kids are stuck in little rental homes because said empty nesters won’t just sell their primary residence and move down to Florida like the generation before did so as to make room for the younger generation. It’s a big reason why people are moving south — young families can’t afford a house in the northern states.
Now the dang federal reserve won’t let prices reset, so they’re freezing younger generations out of decent homes and the ability to invest at reasonable equity prices.
Exactly. I'm an American patriot, first and foremost.
All of this generation shit is simply more attempts to lump people into categories and then generalize about them - it's all identity politics bullshit.
Which is also why we need to watch out for this Karen thing too. Let’s not fall into the trap of having “us” divide “ourselves” based on sex and age.
They have started to call any white woman who dates having a different opinion as a “Karen”.
I have an agenda...
Fucking MAGA baby!
I agree. Major fault lies with the hippies who never grew out of their radicalism and hating their parents then took over the education system. But t wasn't the entire generation. Aren't Millennials the children of Gen X? Many in my gen decided to let the school raise their children while they wanted to become friends with them instead of dishing out discipline.
Raise your hand if you watched the Challenger explode live during a school assembly
This is exactly my story of that day also. Even down to the watching The Price is Right part. ...and the joke was the one about NASA only buying Sprite because they couldn't get 7-Up.
ME TOO!!
My school only had 2 TV's that had to be wheeled around to the classrooms that had reserved them... but my class had it that day :o
The TV/VCR cart and the teachers man perm are what stand out in my memory.
HA! My teacher wasn't male, but there was a male teacher at my school who had the man-perm.
And the wooden clogs?
wait.... you were in my class too?!
I was in my classroom, we were all cheering then it exploded. The room was Silent, I remember my Teacher MR. Andrews saying "oh my God". No one cried because I dont think we knew what was happening. Remember a teacher won to get to go on that flight, otherwise no one was watching the launches
Yup the teacher is the reason why were watching it, she was supposed to host the first distance learning from space it was a big deal https://www.nasa.gov/stem-ed-resources/christas-lost-lessons.html
One blew this way, the other blew that way.
The speed at which those jokes traveled was truly impressive.
How do they know Christa McAuliffe had dandruff?
Gen-Xers will know the answer.
The teachers knew pretty quickly that something was amiss-- the students, not so much. But the next day, there were already jokes:
How did they know that Christa McCauliffe had dandruff?
They found her head and shoulders on the beach.
Raise you hand if you watched government videos of car wrecks, bus wrecks, graphic carnage, etc. to scare you into behaving and not doing drugs. Those things were fucking gruesome and sickening for a 4th grader. I think they actually started these in the 50's but were still showing them in the 70's.
How about if you watched films on a projector that were meant to warn you about pedophiles or you were told before school was let out that there was a creepy van spotted driving around town and approaching kids?
how bout raise your hand if you had to have your halloween candy x-rayed for razor blades before you were allowed to eat it.
There were scares- but I grew up in one of the safest burbs in the world. We joked about it-
The sad part, is that the razor blade thing turned out to be an Urban Myth. Sad in that it needlessly freaked the fuck out of a lot of parents and children.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoned_candy_myths
They weren't all scares though. Though I grew up in Canada, I actually remember the news story in the small city I grew up in, in the late 1980s of a middle aged couple who were putting razor blades in candy apples. Why? Because they hated the kids knocking on their door at Halloween. No other reason. They did get caught, charged, and did prison time. I think the charges were mischief and intent to cause harm.
Mischief in Canada is a serious offence unlike the US. It has both a indictable(federal up to 10 years) and summery(remand to provincial jail or lesser sentence) component. I'll see if I can find the story in the archives, providing they haven't gone to pay. Wikipedia really is complete shit on a lot of stuff.
I'm pretty sure the kid from the Life cereal commercials died from eating Pop Rocks and drinking Pepsi, so...
So that's why Carmel apples went away. I loved those.
well, its a logical thing to get carried away with believing, after that wave of psychos tampering with foods and otc medicines.... didnt that one lady inject tylenol bottles or something?
Yes. She murdered her husband- and murdered some poor woman who was unlucky enough to purchase the tampered with Excedrin. The Tylenol killer has never been caught.
yeah but it was in Halloween 2.
And on top of that you walked home with that creep on the loose everyday with no supervision. It floors me today to see buses stop at every freaking driveway.
Dude remember the TV movie "Adam" about Adam Walsh?
Freaked me the fuck out.
I saw it happen in between classes on a big old 20" TV in the library. There was just a handful of people who actually saw it happen since the next period was seconds away. We just stood there in silence. When i made it to Geometry class, late of course, I walked in and was immediately bitched at by the teacher. I explained that the shuttle just exploded and everyone laughed at me like it was a lame excuse. No one believed it happened, including the teacher.
We didn't have any grief councilors, no excused days off to "process". Maybe a few discussions in some classes, but largely we all grieved at home briefly with our parents during President Reagan's address from the oval office. Different times.
I don't think the adults in charge who provide therapy pets and grief counseling for everything, do the kids any favors.
The song Jeremy by Pearl Jam was inspired by a real event. A kid in Richland, TX killed himself in a classroom. They didn't even cancel classes and everyone was back to school the next day.
Gen-X is the last 'free range' kids.
I think not allowing kids to go outside for 18 hours a day, every day, unsupervised, without a phone, stunts their brain growth.
Rode my bike up to 7-11 to buy comic books, to the library to load up on sci-fi. No cellphones. No supervision. Nobody cared.
Interestingly, large numbers of millennials were raised by boomers, not gen X. Also within a generation it depends on how people were raised. I free ranged my kids much more than my peers and got all kind of grief for ir. I remember trespassing with my sister to explore a falling down old barn. Good times. We climbed trees crazy high, ran through the woods, hopped fences etc... To be fair our parents were neglectful within the context of their generation and I am deeply grateful now
free range humans-
My "summer camp" was wake up at 8am and don't comeback until dinner.
We just had to come home when the street lights turned on. Good times.
The closest thing we had to a brain stunt was TV and we only had like 4 channels initially. I guess we had Atari but that got old after an hour or so. We had computers too but they didn't do much. I saw a one year old (?) in a stroller the other day staring at an iPad with the blank retarded glassy eyed stare and just thought, holy shit there's a future liability.
4 channels and there was still more to watch than the 400 channels of cable.
We had one of those antennas on our roof and a box with a dial on top of the tv that you'd have to turn and it would rotate the antenna to get better reception.
Good times.
Heck sometimes someone would have to sit there holding on to the antenna so you could get a decent picture. At least we had color I guess. I remember our first color TV and just watching that thing for a week straight.
It's why we don't take crap from people. We were independent then, we refuse to be stripped of our independence now.
I don't hate boomers or millennials and I'm an X. Fuck this divisive nonsense. If you're reasonable, you're OK by me.
i dont hate them either. It just feels a little bit generationally isolating sometimes because we were rasied on the good life during Regan prosperity, and as we grew up it started melting away. We were supposed to be able to get a job, raise a family with a house and two cars and retire. Simple. Just like everyone else who came before us. We got fucked over.
The kids who came after us got fucked over too, just as bad as we did, but they were raised during leaner times, and they don't even know what theyre missing. They don't know what life was like before globohomo at all, so they dont miss it. Boomer-gen all are living with the benefits of the life they led, they get their homes, their retirements, everything is stable for them. They know we were fucked over. They know shit is way more miserable now than its ever been, but they don't talk about that partly out of guilt and partly because theyre old now, what can they do about it anyway?
Of course this is all in the context of very broad generalizations.
Honestly I really fucking do. My parents' awful, decadent generation of baby murdering, divorce-frenzied, self centered assholes...
Sorry if you find that needlessly divisive, but I find the boomers to be completely intolerable. They ushered in a pretty fucked up cultural shift that has screwed every subsequent generation pretty badly.
I am seeing this, my oldest is in the older cohort and youngest in the younger and their friends are very different. The cynicism is deep with these kids. The press only publicizes the slacker and ignores the ones working their butts off.
It's pretty amazing how readily black people are wiling to embrace the ideas and actions of some totally shit human beings and at the same time tell whitey that he's complete shit even if he's done nothing wrong.
Just like juneteenth.
Just some made up feel good bullshit by people who weren't hugged enough (or were hugged too much) as kids.
I kept confusing Kwanzaa and Hanukkah when I was younger.
/sips cocktail and chuckles in GenX
Shouldn't you be sipping a Capri Sun or a Bartles and James? Don't make me revoke your GenX badge. Clever username by the way.
You are the first person in more than four years to get the reference. I'm impressed. And I love a good Sidecar or a Singapore Sling, for the ironic retro campiness. ;-)
Canfields chocolate soda or pepsi clear is also acceptable.
I also wanted to mention Super Sips but couldn't recall the name of it until just now.
Not New Coke?
Capri Suns and rum here.
Because gib me dat honky.
As a genXer... Fuck it. I always knew that shit was a scam.
We were forgotten even when we were growing up, often left to fend for ourselves. The sun and stars entirely revolved around the Millenials and Boomers. We were called slackers and yet you have government people like AOC who have never even seen a garbage disposal before (she didn't grow up poor so it means she never even had to do dishes). On the other hand I split and hauled wood all summer to buy my first computer (Vic 20) and when I mowed lawns I wasn't charging people fucking $40. I guess it just sort of depended on what your parents were like but we all had chores. I know kids in their 20's who have never done a single chore in their lives.
Maybe we're more like the Silent Generation (like my parents). They were born during the Depression, little kids during WW2, got to be teens during the 50's, and then were youngish adults having their kids during the Camelot era. I feel like this particular generation really got to live and grow up during some amazing times. And yet, they seem to be forgotten...hence, the name
Because our generation was interrupted by abortion. The millennials were the boomers "second chance" generation after that.
That's why Gen X is so small. Many of us were murdered in the womb.
Not only that, but children were seen as an inconvenience pretty much from the late 1960s all the way until the early 1980s, so birth rates were below normal even without abortion.
100% agree. I remember all that crap and now we ARE like our grandparents. At least me; conservative, take care of my family, work hard and want to be left alone. I look at my parents and just cannot understand why they cannot see past all the BS that MSM states day after day.
Mid 70s here. I think mid 60s and Early 70s spawned the Millennials, My Kids are pretty based, as most kids are that were born from 2005 and up. All my daughters friends are on the trump train and actually question BLM, antifa and Demstuff.
Millenials are generally the spawn of boomers with some Gen-X thrown in. Not too many Gen-X'ers were having kids from 1980 to 1994 (especially when compared to boomers).
I think very early Xrs spawned millennials, but mostly GenZ comes from GenX.
I hated Boomers with a passion until I was in my 30's. I've met some awesome Millennial but in general I have very little respect for them. I wouldn't call it hate so much as sever lack of respect. First gen. I've seen that has accomplished nothing at all and complains about those who have. Never seen a generation so "woke" and yet completely blind at the same time.
I don't hate Boomers -- I have Boomer cousins; I love my cousins. I don't hate Millenials -- I have Millenial kids; I love my kids. I don't hate Z's -- I have Z kids and grandkids; I love my kids/grandkids.
I do kinda hate it when people say "it's all your (not muy group's) fault"; I think there's plenty of blame to go around and share. If I want to know who put me here; I just need to look in the mirror.
Yep- could it be that there’s good and bad boomers? And good and bad gen x? And good and bad millennials and zs? Almost like there’s good and bad white people? And good and bad black people?
No, I’ve just had too much to think...
Ooooh, could be!
Are you a Chinese influencer promoting hate and division within our Trump-supporting website?
I'm a typical boomer, and I love the younger generations; they are my children and grandchildren!!! I don't hate anyone, except China. And fake news.
Gen X here. I’m the tail end on gen X, my sister is a millennial. Both raised my the same “boomer” parents under the same roof. Same exact upbringing. I can say I think the change happened when they fully implemented Marxism in our school systems. That’s the only difference between me and my sister. I remember still saying the pledge of allegiance before class. I remember learning about both sides of history etc. my sister got different schooling, different textbooks and the “no child left behind” nonsense. I worked hard for my achievements. She got participation trophies. It created 2 entirely polar opposite adults.
Gen-X the generation that is too busy working and getting shit done to worry that no one is talking about them....
We are just sitting quietly until we can run this shit show.
I'm a millennial (85), and for some reason I just don't relate to the rest of my generation. People say it's probably because I was raised by both of my parents, who are still married. I went to catholic school. I was a boy scout. But what the hell do they know?
Most of the kids in this picture are boomers.
WE HATE THEM TOO
(Late Boomer)
I hate being lumped min with those dirty filthy hippie nuts. People born in the early 60's have nothing in common with what is thought of as "boomers.
I agree. However, some losers in academia have expanded the time frame up to 1964. Which is bullshit. Daddy was home from the war for 17-years...
But when I get to pick on millennials .... I accept Boomer status for the moment.
(1961 is the superior vintage)
agree with you on 1961, but we have a turd in our punch bowl - obama
Somebody my age (I think he is about a month younger than I am) and it's THAT.
I often claim 1960 for that reason.
I have all older siblings. My next closest sibling was born in 1963. She’s def not a Gen X’er, in any way. I agree with the 1964 cutoff.
I'm '62 and have literally nothing in common with Boomers and have hated them since childhood. The dates are debatable but the cultural lines are crystal clear.
64 could have been the children of kids born in 46.
1962 was well into the "baby bust" they called it.
I was born in '64 and my parents in '37 and '39. They were from the lost generation. They remembered the depression, the war, Korea, Vietnam, they were so stressed out.
Some academics have moved the boomer label to '62 and before, like Neil Howe who is a generation researcher. Also as I started college years after my peers mos of my fellow students were well into gen X and we enjoyed Gen X movies like Repo Man. Gen X music, etc... I can relate to Bill Burr and Joe Rogan.
So true
Some of us in the late ‘50s also
Same
In typical Gen-X fashion I just dont care about either.
Didnt genx raise millennials to be spoiled brats though? Hmmmmmm
Nope. Baby boomer classification applies to those from 1945-1964. It was the younger baby boomers (born from mid 1950s - mid 60s) who generally had millennials (born 80s). Im right in the middle of gen x and my parents were born in mid-40s. My kids are considered Gen Z.
Boomers 1945-1964 --> on average children would be born (1970 - 1989) Genx - 1965-1980 --> on average their children would be born (1980-2005) Millennial - 1981 - 1996 --> on average their children would be born (2006-2021)
So millennials on average were likely raised by younger boomers and older gen-xers. Most probably born to parents who were born 1960-1970.
Yep although I would add that some of us older GenX did raise some spoiled brats. I think when you grow up sort of on your own like a lot of us did you might spoil your own kids.
I'm early 1970s. My kids are GenZ.
most probably bornn to parents born in the 50's and early 60's.
Some for sure, but I would find it hard to believe that "most" were birthed by parents born in those years. Average age of conception is early mid-twenties for most boomers, so your premise would be based on this generation conceiving mostly in their 30s, which would make the average age of conception highest in boomers compared to every other known generation in history. However, we know this is not true.
No, millennials are the late children of the boomers. Either children of boomers that came of age after Roe V Wade and killed their first spawns or second marriage children.
That's why millennials have the reputation of being so coddled. Boomers full of guilt over fucking up their first marriage or full of guilt over murdering their first few babies.
Not mine.
Gen x
Careful giving out personal information here. Lurking libs have been known to piece together facts from comment histories to dox people
Same, Gen X pede
There were some of us who made it to birth after 1973, yeah. Not as many though.
Gen X- but from 76 to 79, there's a good amount of overlap with the oldest millenials. The oldest millenials are 40 to late 30's. You have more in common with them than someone who was born in the mid to late 60's.
I think it goes up to 82. There is the Oregon Trail group that doesn't belong in either bucket.
I was born in 1978. I feel like my upbringing had more in common with people 10 years older than me than even five years younger than me.
And there is a generation before that who thinks you are all classification dumb-asses!
Why would you think that? You left us to largely raise ourselves because you could/t be bothered and we did. I don't hate you guys for doing that to us but you made us what we are.
Typical Crybaby! "but you made us what we are" And you wonder why we make fun of you constantly.
The movie is a time capsule. It shows how life was back then. You had the stoner, who comes from a poor dysfunctional family. Broken home. Divorce was really ramping up in the 80s, which is why they called us latchkey kids - both parents worked, kids would come home to an empty house. My Mom stopped teaching so she could stay home with us. My parents have been married 53 years. I was one of the lucky ones.
Then you have the jock. High school still demanded participation in sports. If you sucked at sports, you were considered less of a man. Being a nerd wasn't cool - it got your ass kicked. And they would call you a fairy, homo, queer, faggot, etc. You had to develop thick skin.
Then the emo chick. She'd be a lesbian now. And a VSCO girl. Thing is, you didn't get social credit and affirmation for being a weirdo then. You were just a weirdo. Everybody knew you'd probably wind up dead in a ditch for being a weirdo, and didn't really tolerate your nonsense.
Then there's the princess. Rich parents. Privileged life. Brand new car when she turned 16. These chicks traveled in packs at the mall and at school. Everybody hated them, and wanted to be them (for chicks - dudes wanted to be the jock). I remember them being mean and vacuous, but not shrill. They were who they were. Little clueless. But not all SJW harridans like white chicks are now.
Lastly, the nerd. That was me. Socially awkward. Way too smart for high school. College bound. Sucked at sports. Couldn't talk to women. But you know what, I outgrew it. I was into D&D and comic books and video games before those things were socially acceptable.
Nowadays, I have rediscovered some of the manly arts, because I was determined my sons would not go through their youth socially awkward like I was. So we're into guns, and outdoor activities (swimming, hiking, camping). I managed to raise some godly young men - fullblown MAGA loving, patriotic Americans. Had I not been the product of my times, I'm not sure I could have done it. I made damn sure my kids weren't brainwashed by their culture or government schools. I made myself the breadwinner so they'd have a Mom at home like I did. And I stayed married to her and loved her and tried to be the best pattern of a man I could be, so they would become good men too.
That's how we win back this country. I think the Millennials are probably on the whole lost. So it falls to us, the X'ers, to make better people to take their place.
Yep, I was the Allison. Eating lunch alone and nobody knew my name.
Thumbs up love your comment. The different personality types you describe there was friction at times between the groups but mostly we also got along. I had a lot of friends from different cliques. There were so many cliques. It amazes me how similar all the millenials dress because we had so many "looks".
😁😁😁
Yep yep. May Parents Brought on this mess by Voting the idiots in in the first place, yet accept NO RESPONSIBILITY. Funny we We gen Xers basically saw this shit show coming, hell we were the last kids that actually had a childhood with really no restrictions.
I tried to watch, my friends loved it, just could not get through it. In my late high school years I was busy working and supporting myself so I could not relate to the kids in the movies
The value of the movie is in capturing/portraying the gestalt of the era.
You had to be there, I guess. It was sniper accurate at the time.
I can understand how in retrospect its flat. It's a much different world now.
They were mostly slightly to severely absurd movies, stylistically. Vacation, Weird Science, Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles... all the situations were deliberately blown way out of proportion from the perspective of the teenagers because teenagers blow everything out of proportion. Absurd cinema isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
Although I have always thought Pretty in Pink was garbage. I can see how the other movies might come off as silly and a little whiny, but Pretty in Pink was just plain terrible.
Yes! I had a theory that's why Millenials and Boomers bitch about each other because they are so similar. They are like brothers who always fight and bicker.
Absolutely agree. Watching 2 generations of NPCs destroy this country and being powerless to stop it.
I always think of Gen Xers as the "middle child" who doesn't get half the attention the older and younger sibilings do. Except for a period in the nineties when the media couldn't analyze us enough.
I am a GenXr but I always laugh at the people raging on Millenials. Bitch, WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK CREATED THEM? Be the conservative and own up to it. It was the Boomer and some of my generation that created the entire "helicopter parent", "everyone gets a trophy", "no spanking", "nut allergy", "ADD", "Austism", "no bullying", "no dodgeball", "cheating in school is ok"...
Conservatives are not going to conserve shit until we own up to our own failings first. That is what liberals do right? Blame their own faults on other people?
The dirtbag hippie didn't just disappear from old black and white photos, these commie filth grew up, had garbage kids and are in WAY too many positions of cultural influence. Hollywood, education. Being a hippie should be viewed worse than being a member of the KKK.
Am Gen X, can confirm.
I love Gen Z though, those crazy kids and their Harambe memes.
I love Boomers.
I don't really like what a lot of them did back in the days but some of the most respected people in my life are Boomers. Probably moreso than my gen (X).
Nods ironically
All Gen-X's have bad backs for carrying Boomers for years, now it's even worse because we have to carry Millennial's too!!! And if you are a Millennial or a Boomer reading this on The Donald you are not who I am talking about.
Sigh

Whatever
Oh snap, I tried upvoreing this edgy post but I pricked my finger
I’m 23 am I a millennial? And my dad is 50 does that make him gen x? If it is then people his age are extremely based lol. If I’m a millennial then I’m apart of the biggest loser age bracket ever
Your dad is X
You are Dad is X and you are right on the border of Z/Millenial (born mid to late 90s is cut off). You are safe :)
Wolverines!
Could you describe the ruckus, sir?
Gen X here. Can confirm.
Gen X here - can confirm
I'm Gen-X and can completely relate with this. However, my former classmates, I have come to realize with complete horror, have grown up to be the most insane group of crazy left wing nutcases.
I have learned over the years that every generation has it's greats and it's animals.
I am spending considerable time looking through my community for Patriots with which to align and have founds people of all generations. I am thankful that we will have a militia of all generations, strength, wisdom, innovation, experience.
My older brother was born in 81 so at the time he was gen-x and I was born in 84 and was considered gen-y, then I got lumped in with the millennial faggots and then my brother did. Some of us millennials are alright but quite frankly I’m pissed that I get lumped in with those turds
