Let's talk about gen X because no other bugger does.

[Mach3]

Hail fellow X'ers.

We are never mentioned. It's always Boomers, Millennials or gen Z.

Why the fuck not?

We definitely exist, we were very cool people.

I have such good memories of my 70's childhood and teenage years in the 80's.

And all the goodness of the late 80s and early 90s.

It did happen didn't it?

under the radar, observing with amusement. Lets keep it that way

At uni in Leeds in the 80's, OMG amazing time, every conceivable type of party, night club, music loved it.😍

We are SO the best 🙌🙌🙌

Yes!

I've actively asked my children to lie to me.

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

You've made me be responsible with your truths!

Exactly 

You're the lucky ones. I'm a boomer We get mentioned all the time just to be moaned about. I'd far rather be invisible, frankly. Why do you want the attention we get? It's absolutely never positive.

🤣🙈🙈🙈

Gen x is really unique
the last generation raised without the internet
toigh cookies made of strong stuff imo

"we were very cool people"

We ARE very cool people! And IDGAF about being ignored/ misunderstood. Perhaps we're too cool for that!

Exactly this, the variety.

89-94 were the best years to be going-out age. Dancing to The Mission and The Cure one minute, Carter USM, James and Cud the next, a bit of acid house rave the next - all on the same dance floor and the hippies with the goths and the baggy short brigade…

Nice.

Hello friends.

100%

End of Gen Xer here. 90s were my era and they just feel like yesterday

Also I’ve noticed gen x don’t really get bored

I was thinking exactly the same earlier today when I read yet another thing about Gen Z.
We are the invisible generation.

Ohhh just realised that I’m (just) Gen X I was born in 1978…being a teenager in the 90s…the coolest decade…or so I tell my (primary school aged) kids!

I'm 52 years of age and my parents don't know to this day what I got up to in the 90s....

Me too!

I think the year definitions for Gen X is wrong. I agree with this statement...
It's just the boomers trying to take some of the cool kids into their fold.1961-1981 works better for Gen X.
If you were born in 1961 you hit adulthood in the shitstorm of the early 1980s and never had the “here’s your super nice job and 2% mortgage” that the boomers got. We had stagflation and high unemployment and then trickledown bullshit for our whole adult lives.

I was listening to X FM on the radio. I wondered if it's been playing the same stuff done the 90s. It was great!

I mean, I'm a boomer but have always identified as Gen X. Except that none of this 'identifying' bollocks was around then 😄

Somebody came up with a name for us (twenty years is too long for a 'generation') but it obviously hasn't stuck. Late Boomers? Nah.

I only found out this week that I’m part of the ignored generation. News to me?!

at uni in the early 90s. Loved the 90s

Mebbe. I'd agree. My oldest sister is technically a boomer 1963, but she's a Gen X by heart.

“here’s your super nice job and 2% mortgage”

Are you fucking joking???!! Leaving school in the mid-Seventies was ... not like this 👀

Late 70s/early 80s music was bloody excellent.

On the other hand, we did worry quite a lot about nuclear war, possibly due to the fact that we lived rather close to several American air bases.

90s was a revelation as racism reduced / changed a little. I wasn’t scared like I was in 70s/80s
