Preach.

+2. I feel like the Millennials are so impassive and self absorbed. Someone could be murdered in front of them and they wouldn't look up from their phone. Or they would tape it, but wouldn't lend a hand to help.


We X'ers are basically forgotten right now. We need to be louder, I think.

Most of us are children of "the silent generation", those who were born during the Depression and WW2. We are their echo and will always, from a demographic standpoint, live between the Boomers and their offspring, the Millenials.

Worst part about it is that we are the last of the kids were were more or less on our own as kids. The Boomers started all of the crazy crop with helicopter parenting and participation trophies and we have to succumb to as parents. What the fuck happened with the Boomers that they screwed up their kids and thus our kids childhood?

Plenty of Xers have boomers for parents.

I'm an Xer with boomer parents and millenial kids. It sucks in many ways to have entitled children and selfish parents. I just learnt to be very independent!!

Using a pay phone and having to put in more change in the slot while in the middle of a call

Home telephones with long cords so you could take the handset into your room so your parents wouldn't hear your whole conversation, but then them picking up when they wanted to use it and telling you to get off the phone

Watching the movies your parents watched since few kid movies (so R movies at 9, etc)

Waiting to go to the bathroom, get a snack until the commercial since you would miss the show, and making sure someone was there to yell that the show was back on so you could rush back (because if you didn't see it, you missed it completely and forever)

Mix tapes were THE way you showed you liked or care for someone since they took freaking forever to make

An amazingly weird world--the Berlin Wall fell, the Challenger exploded, Nancy Regan telling us to just say no to drugs, AIDS scared everyone since it was new, New York was crime-ridden and horrible (but decadent and great, too), music was the way we communicated, women had to fight for everything they had (and wore the shoulder pads and power suits to get it), Andy Warhol was painting, Keith Haring, etc.

Tearing the edges off dot matrix printer sheets

Knowing the difference between micro-film and micro-fiche

Using the Dewey decimal system and card catalogues

Reading real dictionaries, encyclopedias, and visiting the library when you wanted to know more about something

High tech was having a word processor (instead of a regular typewriter)

It's freakin Paul Newman! You may know him from your salad dressing bottle, or being one of the most attractive men ever to walk the earth.
