I didn’t choose this life. I passed out and woke up pinned by dogs with opinions. One guards the ball. One judges my choices. I provide heat and snacks. This is middle age. Deal with it.
Time to stain the abstraction with names & dates cuz history prefers specifics when it sharpens its argument:
#GenerationX inherited a culture of institutional collapse & ironic detachment. Government lied, corporations downsized, the future was quietly canceled. At first cynicism was survival, a rational response to broken promises & evaporating pensions. But irony metastasized into identity.
#GenX
Star Wars is now nostalgia for Millennials not Gen X. Congratulations we are officially vintage. https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/star-wars-is-now-nostalgia-for-millennials-instead-of-gen-x/ #StarWars #MillennialNostalgia #GenX #fandom #scifi
Wow, this is the first time I've read/seen a description of #GenX that I actually identify with!

As a GenX on the younger side, this hit hard and sort of shines some light onto some of my mannerisms that drive my kids crazy like:
“You’re going to have to figure that one out, im not giving you the answer”
I do admit I’ve had a bit of a anti-authority streak my entire career 😂
This week's #ThursdayFiveList theme of #SmellsLikeTeenSpirit was difficult to edit. I mostly listened to "older" music (70s fusion) as an early 80s teen, but here are some mostly contemporaneous tunes that unlocked memories.
Let's Go Crazy - Prince
Cruising uptown with Mike T who could really sing!
Couldn't Stand the Weather - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
Pretty obsessed with SRV during these years...
One Way Out - The Allman Brothers Band
Also obsessed with ABB and Eat a Peach in particular.
Red Barchetta - Rush
I don't listen to Rush at all anymore, but back then they were probably my favorite band. I can't tell you how many times I put this on the Walkman and played drums to this tune in particular.
Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds
The quintessential #GenX movie. Do you think they knew that we would become known as The Forgotten Generation?
#ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings
1) 16yo expressing to mom why she’s not interested in a formula reality show: “I don’t want what they’ve got.” Amen. (Good job mom!)
2) Went to a work seminar on managing multigenerational teams. Run by a #Millennial. 250+ people. 80% #GenX - a surprise to everyone! (Invisible but having to hold things together. That checks.🤣)
3) Day 4 of #EconomicStrike against big tech platforms smooth so far. Maybe after February I don’t return to some? #Hulu might be hard.
Been there, done that. #GenX 😂
But the war between 4chan and Tom Green? That did happen when millennials were becoming the target market and oh boy was that some wild edgelord vs edgelord shit.
(That's what the video is about.)
Tom Green is evil Andy Kaufman.

I don't like that there's video explainers about GenX. We are mysterious creatures who fix things underground or behind you. Don't turn around. Just keep moving away. Don't look back. Hope we don't pick YOU for dinner at the new Moon. … or is that Morlocks? I watched the George Pal movie a lot, but it's not as good as the book.
