I'm Gen X and I'm so sick of Gen X

i'm gen X and i felt that way about them in high school.


i don't even know any gen xers in real life.

Generation Latchkey. Millennials and zoomers are worse what do u think about them?

Honestly the boomers were the only ones who had a good ride GenX got scrood hard

I don't know, maybe the other generations should stop weaponizing them to perpetuate their own idiocy.

to answer the question:


some bad parenting....but i think it was more media influence than anything.

gen xers were the first tards to get hooked on mtv and the seriously degrading side of pop culture.

glorified thug/porn star lifestyle.


it was timing


my 2 cents

definitely getting worse with each new generation, imo.


gen x was the beginning of the full society degradation.


gen xers were the worst parents up to that time.


now it's on autopilot

I kind of agree.

A pinch of narcissistic parenting and a cup of cultural decay.

a crock of seagulls

You're a liar.

Bloomers were the ones who destroyed education the last 40 years and popularized divorce and porn.

generations AFTER "x" are the dummies going for covid, PC crap, LGBT and progressivism...

so i dont know what you are on about.

Who is really responsible for the cultural decay tho? Our b 0 o mer parents who were making decisions in 70s and 80s and 90s? Legit question.

I saw an interview with Duran Duran once were they were talking about their "Hungry Like a Wolf" and "Girls on Film" videos. Even the band was uncomfortable by the overt sexuality of the videos, but they were forced into by MTV execs.

And the hair bands? Why?

MTV was the Nazism of the 90s. Everybody lsitening to the same music, dressing the same way. "if everyone listens to it, how is it alternative". Then you had MADD. That was the beginning of emotion as a solution.

i didn't say gen xers created their own down turn....i meant they were the first generation to get done in by it.

then they just taught what they learned to their kids.


my family somehow slipped through the cracks...my parents were boomar age but not part of mainstream society.

as a result my nieces and nephews aren't nearly as retarded as todays kids.

but i feel bad for them

As a Gen X I would agree that boomers had it made but I would hardly say that Gen X got screwed hard, because lets be truthful we grew up in the 80's which was a good time for this country.

The only thing I hate is that as a Gen X we actually saw the country go to shit in our lifetime and now that I am an adult raising kids its much harder because I have them to worry about.

And to the OP your problem is that you are hanging around the wrong people. Because in my circle we don't do drugs, sleep around, drink etc..

i don't know how many people would agree, but i think Mtv was the single most damaging element to society for a period of time.


it essentially taught that style, now matter how retarded, was more important and valuable than substance.

This is EXACTLY the backlash I'm referring to.

Gen X embraced every type of cultural provocation and pushed every envelope and yet ur on here bitching about PC, LGBT and progressives.

Ur an idiot and a hypocrite.

Absolutely brutal truth.

As a millennial I can say that the best of all those demographics is Gen X, imo. Everyone is fucked up, they are just the least fucked up. Besides I can relate with a lot of their culture, and none of the beumar culture.

PS: why the fuck is that B word censored?

Then it ushered in reality TV with "The Real World".

Maybe we need a deep dive into who was really behind MTV. To this day, they push base shit like "Teen Moms" and MTV Cribs. Cultural decay and consumerism.

So, now you are moving from b00meres to exer's? lol

but that's the essential part of how they got 'screwed'.

they grew up lazy and entitled in a lot of ways and then just watched as things went to shit. not much adversity growing up in the 80's....shit didn't really start to get noticeable until 9-11, IMO.


i agree that it's an error to generalize across the breadth of a whole generation.

Gen X was the LAST great generation....we grew up without computers, our video games required going outside to an arcade and putting a quarter in the machine. We were the last generation that was still able to WALK HOME from school without a FEAR of being abducted. We were the last generation that could play outside until sundown, and we didn't need a helmet. We climbed trees, jumped home-made ramps with our bikes and we could always count on mom to have lunch and dinner waiting for us when we came home after a summer day of adventure. Our exposure to sex was finding a "Playboy" magazine in the trash....we giggled and were innocently embarrassed at what we saw. Little girls played with barbies and little boys played with Tonka trucks. Evil Kanevil and Steve Austin, the bionic and Giant Robot were our Gods and we could always count on The Dukes of Hazard, Ponch and John from Chips to save the day. High school was great! No mass shootings or murders for us...we'd only have to worry about getting caught chewing gum or downing a packet of Pop Rocks, lol.

Yeah....

Uh...are you perhaps mixing up Gen X with another generation?

Also, leave us out of your generational battles lol. We've done our best to manage two drastically different generations on either side of us. We're also the only generation that can act as an interpreter between them. So leave us to our disaffected brooding!

millenials are vapid shit heads that need to be euthanized.

this is true in my experience and why i went to the frringe in my high school.

i could not stand this about my peers...at least where i grew up.
'

i'm sure it was worse in some places and way better in others.

We're sick of you too!!
No fcks given!!!

a total disgrace. a generation that should never have been.

That's nice nostalgia. But what have you done lately? Raising a bunch of morons, voting for internet trolls, watching the world go to shit.

What have you done? Colored your hair purple? Became vegan? Changed your gender? Fucked a toddler?
