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

i think it's important, in a conversation like this, to point out that not everyone of a common generation had a shared experience.

most everyone that i grew up with was a very spoiled rich kid. the main goal of students in my high school class was to go to college in southern california.

my parents never did blow or stayed out all night.

i grew up in almost the exact opposite environment from you in many ways, from the sound of it .

doesn't make anyone a "dumb motherfucking kid"


some people, likely too many, get non-consciously attached to the generational label BS and get offended or over proud at criticisms or praise.

The tats, the drinking, the drugs, the financial woes, the bad parenting, the promiscuity, the over all trashiness.

It's like a generation that never grew up.

The question is...was it because of bad parenting, lack of opportunity, overconsumption or just wanton and pervasive immorality?

But, now, this generation is morphing towards extremism. I guess it's some kind of over-compensation or backlash for all the fuck ups they have made.

Why can't this generation find a middle ground? A steady track?

Yawl think people with honor and wisdoms are bad and aging poorly, you ain't seem nothing yet.

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

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....

Gen X are the most spoiled Generation. They got everything handed to them on a silver platter. The B's gave them money, cars, houses and jobs where they didn't have to do much to excel.

Now Millenials deal with both B's and Gen X yelling at us because we are the problem.

We don't want to work for practical slave wages so some B and Gen Xer can get their third wife a new SUV and a second home in the Florida Keys.

On top of that, we are expected to train the Zoomers and Let me tell you. We should be getting paid fucking Triple our salary for dealing with your Gen X entiled little rug rats.

Im about sick and fucking tired of people shitting on Millenials. We are the workforce right now, raising kids and building a future whilst being shat on by every generation.

I don't have tats. None of my Gen X friends have tats. Most have been married 2 decades or more and all are financially stable. Maybe its not the generation but the peolpe you hang out with?

Since nobody wants to respond to my posts, 1 star.

Fuck everyone in this thread.



Retards.

I am so sick of Voomers.

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.

What songs came out in the 70's that gave a warning about that generational curse?

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
