My gen x ass was coming to post this exact thing. Well done.
Me: I wanna jump off a bridge
My biological mother: Want me to drive you there?
💀
Joking?
I made a millennial joke in front of my coworkers after a two month break. (They have said waaaay worse). Anyway they HR’d me and I almost got a free vacation to the grippy sock hotel. Now I keep my mouth shut. They’ll never see it coming! Assholes.
What was the joke and what are they not going to see coming?
“Probably better to die than pretend like I can afford a house before I’m 90” or something. Not those exact words.
That end is a bit ominous, you alright?
I have a reason I have to get up. I joked about being able to buy a house before I died. Not that I want to get up. But I’m obligated.
Do a flip!
Gen X: “First time?” meme.
Generation self defined by apathy and nihilism gets overlooked?
Generation “Mentions not getting mentioned any time people talk about generations”
Generation bitches and whines about being ignored while being the largest voting bloc behind the return of fascism
I just wish most gen x were actually disaffected and alienated and not just constantly demanding relevance. You were a latchkey kid and you have better references than us, get over it.
Jelly
Meh. Whatever.
Right here, right now. Watching the world wake from history.
More like replaying history but yeah
It always is and and always will be. It was meant as a comment on how every generation when its young looks around and thinks that its time to change things and ‘this’ generation is going to do something. Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts.
Its not like most of us care we are not mentioned in the same place these losers are.
Exactly the point of GenX, please keep ignoring us. It’s why we dress in black.
Is that the reason? I just prefer not to wear light colors that get visibly dirty so easily.
We have talked too long. Back to the batcave.
And this is why we don’t
Every generation thinks they invented dark and surreal humor and without fail people who should know better act likes its some new and unique thing… it’s more of an anomaly IMHO if a generation doesn’t do this.
Yeah but instead of joking about suicide like a normal person, boomers write confusingly veiled songs about it and pretend they’re family friendly.
Looking at you, David Bowie! Space Oddity isn’t for children!
I feel like Boomers’ jokes about hating their spouse is thinly veiled suicidality jokes. Like, they’re giving big “I did everything I was meant to and I hate my life” energy
I guess so, but blaming your sadness on someone you promised to love is a dick move if they never did anything wrong, and most wives never did anything wrong
You know the sayings: “We’re standing on the shoulders of giants” and “he walked so we could run” etc.
Dark humor comes and goes in cultural waves, it seems.
Just gonna put on my plaid shirt and strum mournfully on a guitar now.
That makes you a millennial right? This is the hipster vibe you’re going for?
Joking?
Pretty sure their leading cause of death is suicide, just like the millennials. Although millennials are going to be getting old enough soon that heart problems will probably take over at some point.
Hey, blame Kurt Cobain about why Gen X takes it too seriously. You also can’t joke with them about using too much heroin without a diatribe about Kate Moss and Anthony Kiedis
I’ll never forgive Gen-X for making shitty depressing grunge music inescapable in my early years.
Fuck Andy Dick with a rusty spoon
X’er here. Fair.
Gen X, the least worst generation
You mean the statistically most pro-Trump generation, more so than even boomers?
And the one that bitches and whines when everything isn’t about them?
Pay no attention to that behavioral correlation.
The top level comment made a claim that Gen X is de facto the best. I just pointed out an observable fact that suggests otherwise. And then apparently my comment that Gen X is perhaps not actually better than every other generation then triggered you so hard that you had to comment calling it “bitching and whining because everything isn’t about [my unknown generation]”. Lol.
Oh IDK…makes us seem inconsequential. For some awful reason my gen were the top trump voters. Somehow that slid under the radar.
Generation proxmox?
Gen X managed to blame everything they did on the boomers
More like the kids can’t tell old people apart. They’ve been binning Gen-X into the Boomer category. Old is Boomer to them.
I’m sure they would label some older Millennials as Boomers too. Especially since social media has distorted everyone’s perception of physical appearance. Even millennials are struggling with coming to grips with aging. Sorry guys but you are old.
Gen-X wasn’t forgotten. There’s the technical definition of generations. Then there’s the pop culture / meme definition of generations. In pop culture. Especially zoomer pop culture. There’s only Boomer, Millennial, and Zoomer. Which vaguely goes as old, 20-30 something, and teenager. Gen-X was “forgotten” into the Boomer category.
I’m 39, and Lemmy has informed me that I’m a “boomer”. Apparently “it’s a mindset!” or something.
Correct. Also the most boomer way you could have said it without somehow implying that you hate your wife.
But I love my wife. I wouldn’t have married her if I didn’t.
Lemmy is full of boomers
I’ll let myself out
