Let me tell you, I have tremendous grip strengh, believe me.

We are the forgotten generation, the bridge between the old and the new.

Misunderstood by both.

Wiser than millennials, those still young enough to think they are the best at everything and unappreciative of what previous generations did to put them in the position where they can casually shit over everything that's gone before.

More in touch than boomers, our comfort with technology allowing us to segue easily into the post-millenial world without feeling left behind.

We have lived through the fallout of the boomers' self-indulgence, with little money and few of the opportunities available to the modern youth.

We learned to navigate life before technology became so ubiquitous that social norms changed entirely, yet we are still comfortable straddling the gap between these worlds.

Neither boomer nor millennial cares about us gen-Xers for we are both and we are neither.

Stand with me brother, and together we shall gaze proudly into the middle distance while basking in the bizarre mix of optimism and cynicism that characterises our generation. For we truly are the last of us.

Is this a meme?

 

[jufonuk]

Is this a meme?

This is the truth.

For all the Boomers Vs Millenial arguments brewing.

We sit in the middle . Forgotten
We came before we paved the way. We became our parents. Soon it will be us being the older generation we won't be so grumpy.

In a few years times all the millenials will look at the younger generation in horror thinking.. fuck was I that dumb ? Our saving grace is we had no internet or social media to fully document our stupidity.
We weren't dumb so much as reckless.
Parties just as hard as the millenials, had the work ethics of the boomers shoved down our throats.
Born to late for jobs for life, Cheaper housing.
We had to adapt. We feel your pain Millenials we really do we got just as fucked over at times.

I am 1977

Me too fist bump.

I feel like being born in the mid 70s was a great time.

We got to see technology grow from rotary phones, no internet and very expensive and rudimentary PCs to the modern smart phone.

 

[tearsintherain]

millenials don't have sex, they lack a firm grip, they are in massive college debt, and can't afford to buy a house. sux to be you, bro

but seriously do they have anything going for them? they are probably 2-3 generations behind the ones that will achieve immortality through AI/robots/bioengineering and a few generations behind the ones who will go into other star systems. They don't even have sexbots or flying cars, man. Feelsbad

When my stepdaughter or anyone with a mobile phone LCD/led tv over 20 inches with an internet enabled console claim they are so bored I want to slap them.
Then launch into the in my day we only dreamt of devices like a smart phone. How can you say you are bored you are able to search and view so many things play so many games. In my day we played on 14 inch TVs and stand alone machines . Fuck you and your boredom go outside
If you showed 15 year old me a smart phone or 24 inch LED and the graphics on the wii-U I would have had a freak out.

 

[Stinkles]

Can you open a beer bottle with your eye socket?

Yes, twist offs, and I have attempted regular bottle caps too with mixed and bloody results.

Cool kids never have the time. On a live wire right up off the street you and I should meet.

Is this a meme?

Maybe it's a new one, heh. But no, I wrote it (tongue firmly in cheek) this morning.

[ColdLasagna]

Gen X'r with a grip of death checking in.

Spoiler

[Mahonay]

Less hard labor jobs probably has a lot to do with this?

 

[kavanf1]

Kavanf1 we need to make a Gen-X, your words are better than I can type. Could you do this honour ?

I'm not sure I know what you're asking?

 

[jufonuk]

I'm not sure I know what you're asking?

A gen x thread. Boomers and millenials get all the press. It's time we had our time in the spotlight

 

[killatopak]

ctrl+f : "fap"

Does their fapping suffer because of this?

What I came in for.

 

[Lonely1]

So, this is why Apple is always going thinner and lighter. :S

 

[Kieli]

Does their fapping suffer because of this?

Do millennials even fap, tho? I thought the generation was known for its sexual aestheticism.

[Purkake4]

So Ueda redeemed after all?

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Gen x should extend to the mid 80's. Its only fair.
