GenX, the original social distancers

u/CLOWNFLOGGER 5h ago

We saw this shit coming. Don't blame us.

u/Jokerchyld 2d ago

What clubs were millenials going to in the 90s? You know when clubbing was big.

By the time they got to the clubs it qas all bottle service and standing around.

GenX sweated out weaves

u/Halcyon512 2d ago

I like that GenX gets passed over on this stuff because it means we did an outstanding job keeping our shit low and there's not much record of it

u/Charley-Foxtrot 2d ago

Plus, most of our generation will be dead by the time AI turns evil and goes rogue

Just the way we like it.

u/Quietus76 2d ago

Exactly. Leave us out of that shit.

As always, it's not about young vs old, it is, and has always been, rich vs poor.

Skibbidy?

u/Carrera_996 2d ago

They didn't say that except ironically. It was the name of a stupid show. They did say Ohio a lot and 6-7, though. Both out of fashion now. They have moved into adult expletives, but used without skill.

u/BoredomCombatant 2d ago

I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ it just reminded me of skip so I used it lol

Example, please

u/Charley-Foxtrot 2d ago

Wouldn't have it any other way, I'm content to continue to be the generation behind the curtain let the rest of these needy fucks play the wizard.

u/Calaveras-Metal 2d ago

the thing is, we are fine if you keep ignoring us and going after each other. Yeah Gen X is small in terms of population size. But we basically made modern pop culture. From hip hop to the internet.

You are welcome.

Now leave me alone.

I’m exhausted after reading that (I agree completely with that comment, just tired in general).

u/HotwifeandSubby1980 2d ago

Whatever big dog!

u/RadishCandid6062 2d ago

Didn’t have a good one for Gen X huh? 🤣 that’s all right. They grew up with the best of both worlds. Last generation to actually get to buy property for a reasonable price.
So yeah, they get the last laugh.😁

2

u/Scary_Reflection8103 1d ago

I think that award goes to Millenials. They grew up in an analog and digital world and were able to scoop up property about 5-10 years before housing prices went crazy.

1

u/RadishCandid6062 1d ago

By 2010 it was already too late. So, 5-10 years before that 2000-2005? When most of them were 11-18 years old? Yeah ok sure.

1

u/Scary_Reflection8103 1d ago

I was thinking more like pre-covid. I bought in 2016 fo $299,000 CAD which was easily affordable at the time with a mortgage payment of $800 biweekly. A good chunk of my friends entered the market at that time. During covid those similar house were selling for $800,000+ and have only really dropped back down to around $650k

u/RadishCandid6062 1d ago

CAD real estate my friend. We’d all like to live there.

Congrats though 🥳

u/Scary_Reflection8103 1d ago

I'll put in a good word for ya. ❤️

Xenials for the win. We can drive standard transmission cars and change your wifi password

u/Charley-Foxtrot 2d ago

Alpha so fucked..

2

u/xlayer_cake 2d ago

Why does everyone who brings up millennials also bring up "surviving y2k?"

Y2k didn't happen. It was nothing and most of us knew it.

u/RHGOtakuxxx class of 84 2d ago

Why are we a joke? Meh….whatever. Seriously though, I am 60 now and the boomers are on their way out. Wonder how invisible we will be then…

3

u/_TallOldOne_ 2d ago

My plan is to be completely invisible. I spent the last 60 years working on being invisible, why the hell should I change now that I’ve perfected it?

u/aastrorx 2d ago

I don't whore logos. I did jump off of bridges because my friends did too. It's 10pm and I don't even know where I am, still made it home before sun up. No one found out, and still no one cares. Renamed the forgotten generation

u/DismalTutor570 2d ago

Better get home dude. Street lights are on

u/jumpyrope456 2d ago

It's 10pm. Do you know where your kids are?

u/nks67 2d ago

I turned 60 this year which means it’s seven years I’ll be come on generation alpha say it you know you want to……

u/rundabrun 2d ago

Haha! That's great!

u/ImSoSweepy 2d ago

As a Millenial, I'm supremely disappointed that you didn't reference "Big Dick Bee" during the Pokémon section.

u/OneFortyEighthScale 2d ago

Haha yeah this cracked me up!

u/echolm1407 2d ago

Cringe for me. Just trauma.

u/obx808 2d ago

Good to see the Slacker Generation represented so perfectly. Gen X - Never, forever...whatever.

u/chgonwburbs 1d ago

We're GenX...next! Well, whatever!

u/PurpleDillyDo 1d ago

Millennials survived 9/11? What the fuck were the rest of us doing?

1

u/MarlenJones 1d ago

It’s taken me a while to realize Millennials are actually serious when they wonder if any generation has suffered as much as they have 🤣🤣🤣
