It's crazy that some people will look for this conflict in everything. Loved the video ❤

1983... Poor as AF My parents can afford cable, the internet, or any type of mobile device. We were lucky we had a house phone. I win🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

A forest, a park, a closed unfinished building, a railway bridge, an abandoned house, bonfires, homemade firecrackers, our childhood was there and we survived.We're not scared of "sh!t". Will they be able to survive the way we do?

I would also like to add, when we picked teams, if you were picked last, or bc you were the only one left or you didn't get picked at all that meant that you sucked and you need to pull your game up. #GenXspeaks

Born up to 1985 are still in bubble of gen X. If your family had money all those things you mentioned were an option, but if you didn’t. We did not have cell phones, internet, or new cars

If your first remote wasnt a Infared remote (AKA THE CLICKER) and it actually clicked when pressing a button , sit all the way down and be Quite while the aduls talk.😂

So true

Don't even bring up Internet. Dial up sucked

What I got from this, is first rule about fight club! Don't talk about fight club! second rule, if give them engouement, they have power! We don't talk about x! Or you loose your card!

Yeah you right!

I'm still a bit Hazy really on when GenX Actually started. I'm a Dec. 1961 kid , Might as well say 62...but Yea I was born Right when the chaos was just getting started. Man growing up those first 5 years was AWESOME. I had it lucky those years becouse I had an AWESOME Grandfather that lived across the road. To this day I believe he was living vicariously Thru me. He let me do and go anywhere I wanted and he was Quick to cover up when I Did mess up. Great memories. But I digress. After I turned 5 my emediate family (mom,dad,my almost twin brother, and just born sister ) moved to Detroit from WAY Upstate NY on the Canadian/Vermont borders. Huge Culture shock. And to add insult to injury...That's when Both parents went to Before we even left for school and didn't come home till Real Late. That's also about the time they decided they didn't like each other OR us kids Good Times. Boot camp Training At ITS Finest

We GEN X'er' are the LAST gen to even know what a PAY PHONE WAS!

I'd say that cellphones didn't really become wide use for younger people maybe until about 2003. Maybe earlier more so in the cities. I didn't get mine until i was about 30.

May I ask a legitimate question? Are you the reason for the whole generational war against Gen X right now? I ask because I see that this particular video was posted 3 years ago and Gen Z and even some later Millennials are still going after you guys. The smart(i.e. older millennials aren't that dumb).

80s hand the best music

I long for the days of my youth

I miss those days 😢

I’m 58. Early gen x. My 27 and 17 yo listen to more gen x music than anything else. They say todays mucic sucks.

I remember the brick phone. You were rich if you had one. Lol

We had spacey games , defender space invaders ,pac man atari and the best music from the 70s,80s ,90s swapping tapes and recording off the radio lol 😝 VCR and played knuckle bones, marble's we invented our own games Roman candle wars then having Tom Thumb crackers and exploding shit up taking milk bottle money the shit don’t stop lol and we never had WAR and made friends with everyone black white brown yellow on the block riding bikes best era ever .

We are Gen X!

Eating burger with knife and fork….reported for terrorism 😢 jokes aside thoroughly enjoyed 😊

Millennials did not invent the world wide web....the two guys responsible for the world wide web were BOOMERS.

That looks pretty bomb. Id love a samich like that

We don’t give an F what the entitlement generation thinks of us..We remember who raised us..We raised ourselves and our siblings

Evel Knievel was GEN X super hero. He was a womanizer alcoholic who jumped through fire and over buses with a street motorcycle. Walk away...

My dad was in the 324.

I'm 55 had a wicked fun time 70 countries, 120 live music acts, saved while rented now small paid for house, so much fun festival s, when went on dates I had nice dates, restaurants, films shopping. Day trips from uk to France playing in fields with friends. Cycling cheap cars, savings etc

So, yeah, world without cell phones, maybe until the 80s. Granted, they were glorified radios and made of brick, but the world had them. My dad wore one on his belt for work and it kinked the leather where he clipped it on and it gave him genuine back problems. And the monthly bill was like the operating budget for NASA. Car phones were pretty much the same way. Internet was actually available in the 80s when I was in high school, mostly DOS-like and no graphics, but it existed and was used by anyone who could afford it. Cable TV was actually available in the 80s. I remember how badly I wanted it but we couldn't afford it. Remotes came out in the 80s as well. But we never had one at my house. Dad was as stingy as a scotch whistle. The car keys, I agree on. And yeah, corporal punishment my father was a master at it. Oh, yeah! Our music and movies were so boss! You get points for that. I was born in 66, and gen X is from 65 to 85 for birth year. And I know I'm Gen X because I was in high school when Nancy Pelosi coined the phrase in an interview and really pissed me off when she said, "We might as well call them Gen-X, they don't stand for anything! No matches, no protests, nothing. " I wanted to reach through the t.v. screen in our living room and choke her. Call me a boomer again, and there will be war. Oh, and by the way? I coined the moniker "boomer" on Facebook and nearly fell over when it almost instantly became a thing, THAT DAY. And again. I am Gen-X. It wasn't a millennial that coined that term, it was ME. Revenge on Nancy. Personal revenge. Satisfying. I do make my own videos. But I am not touching tiktok. China needs to get their finger out of our asterisks. So no thanks. Yeah, I'm a 2nd year Gen-X. Anyone who attended high school in the 80s is Gen-X.

Corporal punishment got phased out in 1983 in Florida

I love your language!

👊

💯

'becoming available' and 'being available to everyone' are two very different things. Cell phones were a luxury well into the 2000s.

I’m a millennial I think you going at gen z take 20 years last millennials were born in 1981 till 1996 so do some more research the last of them had Internet😊

This video proves you will never win an argument with a Gen-X. We keep ALL the receipts. 1976 here.

1970s-80s was the best decades of music

Thanks for speaking for this Gen Xer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't cancel people, we accepted them for who they were.........

Love beening a Gen X we got use our brains. We had to store phone number, address and other stuff.

I was born in Rochester hills Michigan in 1978. I'm as feral as it gets.

Boomers forget that we know their music too. Think also of "Twist and Shout" in "Ferris Buehler" for instance. I was a young teen when John Lennon died and so it was Beatles Beatles everywhere for about a year or so on radio, in bookstores on TV, etc. Millenials were alive at the rise of home computers and internet but frankly they were too young to remember a life without them imho. Like any new technology, a lot of people could not afford these for a while so it took time before almost everyone had it. Even a VCR back then... I remember my parents finding one for "only $400" Same with microwave oven about the same price. That does not even factor inflation into it. Not sure what the food fights are all about but eh well. Back to mundane wanderings along KZbin. (Oh and I am not feral, just aloof. LIMH.)

I have a Violent Femmes cd that includes an intro by Gordon Gano saying " You cannot fuck with the Violent Femmes. You cannot fuck with this band". I think that applies to GenX too. We are FAFO, and we ain't scared of you.

I'm GenX I love GenZ they are a breath of fresh air after the onslaught of millennials

Yeah they can badmouth Gen X whilst they re-release our music, our movies, our fashion etc...poorly. Often copied, never equalled, do not disturb.

I can use a compass and read any map or atlas. Write in cursive and read a clock face.

as a boomer,I can tell you that gen x had it better that we did...gen x is our kids and we did our best to give our kids a better life than what we grew up in..and at least in my case,I did a great job.. gave my kids best of everything if I could afford it,soiked as much as I could,BUT still had punishments for their dumbass actions...but they still respect and love me...don't think gen z will ever have that..

Fellow Gen X'er here, and TOTALLY relate to this video; We didn't have cell phones, video games, or cable TV; We had IMAGINATION... We played outside from dawn to dusk, had a rotary telephone (try getting today's generation to dial one, and it's comparable to watching a monkey attempting to solve complex algebra), and I WAS the remote control for the three (yes, count them; THREE) TV stations we had... And I KNEW BETTER than to talk back to my Mom, because She had a meaner backhand than John McEnroe!!! 'Nuff said. LOL.

We're also the last generation to have to fiddle with the antennas on a TV, both the ones on the set, and the one on the roof. I got to know our roof intimately whenever Dad wanted to watch Married With Children.

So you’re saying we can still legally whoop some Gen Alpha asses in 19 states!?!?…jokes people…jokes. 😏
