Quote HistoryQuoted: The 80s were awesome. As a matter of fact up until y2k things were pretty cool. Sometime after that things started to darken. Nope, things definitely started darkening in the 1990s for anyone who wanted to be left the fuck alone. Public land closures, gun bans, pushes for socialized health care, it takes a village, Ruby Ridge, Waco... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: there's a significant split within Gen X (BTW i've always heard 65 to 81) as the earlier cohorts associate with wild teenage years, etc (80's) where the older ones grew up in the 90's (more black culture on TV, music, etc) and much more parental involvement A lot of older Gen X (myself included) have younger silent generation parents (29 to 45) and our values tend to be more of theirs (be seen and not heard). Where the split happens (75?) it's mostly boomer parents (self awareness and all that shit) and the boomers keep getting further along (i.e a boomer born in 45 is WAY different than a boomer born in 64) This is a good point. Late genX'ers are very millennial. My little brother was born in 81, and he's more like get Y/millennials than like me |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Graduated high school in 1989. It was a completely glorious time to be alive  Yep, class of 88 - the last free generation. We had open campus, no study hall, no hall passes, no being searched for contraband, & we even had a smoke shed. Even the 10th graders were allowed to come & go whenever they pleased. You could walk right down the block to the farm stand & buy a few bottles of Jolt cola to get you through the day (the original one that had 3x the cane sugar & twice the caffeine). They didn't give a fuck what you did as long as you weren't committing felonies on school grounds. I feel sorry for the ones who came later, Gen-Y fucked it up for everyone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A Millennial once asked me if we had porn on the Internet in the "old days." I explained how we would log into a service provider using our dial up analog lines and find alt.binaries on a Usenet server. After downloading all the text files associated with a specific picture, we would use UUDecode to convert the text files back to a graphic. Opening it, you'd finally see what you got, which was usually a shitty flatbed scan from a Playboy. He just looked at me with his mouth open.  Kids these days don't know how easy they got it.  And we was thankful, because some folks didn't have it so good.

I was born in '72 so no question of my generation. I did better than my parents, but honestly the bar was set pretty low. I don't like saying we were poor as we always had food to eat and a roof over our heads, but not a lot extra. I did go to college, but it seemed different then. I went to college to be able to get a job. I picked Mech. Eng. because I thought I would have better job opportunities. I hate talking to other ME's and they are always saying how they knew they would be engineers for this reason or that. I just picked it to get a job. Really never liked it and was actually happiest when I moved into management away from engineering. Just leave me alone.  |

Everyone has forgotten that school bus stops werent every block...
That walk to and from was either a mad max dash to safety or it looked like a hand to hand fight scene from a war movie. There was always the one house you dodged. Everyone dodged it. Either because a grumpy boomer wanted you off his grass,or away from his buick. Or it was the big ass dog they always let out. School buses had no AC, seats thst made a 1945 Willies look like a rolls royce. A heater that you could cook on and only ran at 300f. Schools had no AC( least mine here in Florida)... Cheap square pizzas,tots,and Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes , and small cardboard milks with the " have you seen me " picture of some kid 12 states away.... Loose knit sweaters,acid wash jeans , high hip bikinis, super tight mini skirts. Fucking slayer! Depeche mode,U2 ,white snake and the leap to alt/grunge. Run dmc hip hop to beastie boys and NWA.... .huffys to bmx to the start of hard tail mbt bikes 500-1500$ mustangs,chevelles dusters you name it. Fucking walkmans, then CDs, pagers to cell phones the size of military field radio. Ban jolt cola. Fucking red dawn..... Saturday cartoons.... Fisher price toys... Nintendo.....fucking duck hunter to top gun. Tits in every damn movie....didn't see any...look again....there was always tits... When will the Russians nuke us and invade the rest of Europe... Reagan and his star wars Cheap ass gas. Picking up soda bottles and give to the clerk at a corner store/gas station to get 30 cents to buy candy after or before school. Selling that candy for profit to your class mates. Getting caught by the commie english teatcher, getting detention and then grounded by your folks. Leather Michael Jackson jackets,Reeboks, parachute pants made way to razor blade Oakleys, vans sneakers, tight rolling your jeans... You worked as a bag boy or a trade in the summers or weekends. You were told college or cardboard box by the river. So work your ass of either way. Guess i better get my " essential " ass to work today..... |

Every fort had a stash of mags someone stole from a dad,uncle,older brother or was stolen from anothers stash... Also every section of woods had a few pots of " plants " it seemed when i was living in south Florida in the 80s. I remember having to show my dad the fort that the nieghbors kid stole a pic from a playboy and got caught by his mom. He said he got it from me and my brothers as a lie to not get in trouble. On the way there i asked my dad why someone would plant trees out in the woods... " oh, show me where...." Showed my dad and his reason /explanation was it was someone's special flowers so dont mess with them. Im sure he went back lol. Different times back then.iirc that was 82' |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not a meme but all my gen X friends can't type for shit. Gen X = boomers https://media1.tenor.com/images/63a4afee7d28caa61c821bddaa1e6fa3/tenor.gif That's because we learned to type on the old manual typewriters and rested our fingers on the keys. Doesn't work very well with the super sensitive keyboards today. |

This thread makes it obvious some of you have never suffered the shame of your parents buying you Gobots because you were too poor for Transformers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 8/2/1982 is the official cut off date That's funny. My youngest brother was born 8/1/81. He claims that he's not a millenial b/c Gen X runs thru 82; the rest of us responded, "You know who says that shit? People who don't want to be associated with millenials." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "Xennials" - micro-generation between 1977 and 1983 Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 1981 is Gen X, 1982 is millennial. "Xennials" - micro-generation between 1977 and 1983 It’s such a “millennial” thing, always have to try and be special. There is no “micro generation”. Anyone, born any year, is going to have more in common with people +- 2 or 3 years. That doesn’t mean every single person gets to have their own micro generation. Just because you don’t want to be lumped in with people born in the 90’s, well tough luck, that is how generations are defined. You are not less of a man because you are a millennial. Everyone knows you had a different experience being born in 1982 than 1992, you don’t need your own micro generation for people to realize that. |
