Terll 'em the people who invented their wittle tech toys are in their 70s now!

I do most things on my phone. Pay with my watch. I know how to create, edit and merge PDFs. I play video games. Tech is my friend. I am 52 years old. I am older than Gen Z and Millennials , but I am not old.

"Grab the rolling staircase" because no one else is going to do it for you - Gen X in a nutshell.

Boomer here. And if I had access to a time machine. I sure as hell wouldn't go forward. I'd go back. 😉 Happy New Year everyone.

Im a 61years old baby boomer I've work at a Golf course for 35 years as a lead hand. I need to explain something. Gen X is called Gen X because you have to x-plain everything, Gen Y is called Gen Y because when you tell the employee to do something they ask Y, now Gen Z is called Gen Z because they're Zipper heads if a shovel cant be plugged into a cellular phone they CAN'T USE IT. It kinda makes me wonder how they go pee by themselves, KZbin? Maybe? Im a Canadian Cree Indian and wonder when scalping is gonna be legalized, Pot is so why not scalping. It would solve a lot of problems.

Boomers Are the decline on to witch this generation has become to, so thank your boomer mom and dads or grandparents for the decline.

😅

Born in '67 and i can still smell that fresh printed paper and feel the warmth, thanks for bringing back sooo many memories Made me happy and sad at same.time..

I was a gen Xer farm kid with parents that lived through the depression and WWII. The only time my mom wanted to hear about an injury was if there was a bone sticking out of your body or blood spurting out of you. And Dad......well Dad would just mutter something about being a dumba** and carry on with his work

I was born in 69. A child of the 70s and a teenager of the 80s. Love my generation

all true!

Born in '62, she speaks truth 😂👍

Thank you, love it! My brother and I would mix Crisco oil, iodine and a splash of Bacardi in a spray bottle :) We used to play tackle football on the street. Like you said, "we are strong".

We ain't heating the outside

Quit slamming the God damn door😂

Millennials and gen z forgets that gen x created the internet and most of the tech companies they love so much

Being driven around in a car with the air thick with cigarette smoke. No wonder so many smoked. Addicted to nicotine by 8 years old.

Making an airplane out of cardboard and jumping off the neighbours garage roof with it thinking you would fly.

Lol thanks. You are wonderful.

We can switch a phone to dark mode, but we can also operate a PC for something other than vidya, cook on a backyard grill, or entertain a group for hours with nothing but a deck of playing cards.

My mom put a first, 2nd, and 4th grader on a Trailways bus so we could stay the summer with our grandfather. Was this a common Gen-X thing? FYI we rode from S. FL to Georgia. Did it the following year also.

1971-present! Take me home country roads! No car seats. No seatbelts. Windows barely cracked, if at all, while Dad chain smoked Marlboro Reds on the way into town or on the road to see family at Christmas. Left in the car while mom ran errands. Windows down. Doors unlocked. Red faces, sweaty backs and backs of legs that stuck to the vinyl of that light blue tank of a car almost ripping off flesh with every movement. No one would have imagined calling the police & had they, the police would have scolded the caller for being a nuisance. 3 channels on a good reception day, 2 antennas, the nightly news and then whatever my parents wanted to watch except on Saturday mornings! Cartoons were the reason to jump out of bed and race downstairs to the family room! The flinstones, the jetsons, wonder twin powers activate, Tom & Jerry, the Smurfs…. and eventually soooooulllll traaaaainnnn! From 8am to noon it was PJ’s, cereal eaten from my Dukes of Hazzard foldable tv tray, the best cartoons ever, and the sound of our mom vacuuming in the distance. Chores, school clothes vs play clothes, homework, sitting at the dinner table alone gagging down cold French cut green beans until my plate was clean because there were “people starving in Africa” and for the love of Pete don’t offer to send them your leftovers! We rode the school bus from Kindergarten until we saved enough money for the down payment on that beat up, used, first car in high school with a co-signed loan we worked to eventually pay off, the money to pay for half the cost of adding me to my parent’s insurance, and the money I needed to buy gas for my car. Weekends and summers, and occasional school nights. When it snowed our bus driver dropped us at the Smith’s place to walk the hilly, curvy mile home. It SUCKED, a word we were never allowed to say, but we changed into snow clothes, mittens and boots and played outside breaking only to change out of wet snow clothes into dry ones that mom would hang in alternating fashion, wet to dry, wet to dry by the wood stove. Our playgrounds were on concrete and asphalt. Our slides were tall & metal & hot as H E double hockey sticks most of the spring & fall and every single day in the summer. We climbed on top of the metal dome with its peeling blue and red lead laden paint. We swung so high and hard the swingset rocked as if it might topple over to its side! We ran as we pushed that round thing we would then jump on, dizzy headed with shaking legs and usually an untied sneaker… or a socked foot sans the sneaker that flew off at some point between the run & push and the jump on. Sometimes the push made it go around faster than we were running… hold on to the upside down U shaped metal and you’d tear your legs up… let go and you’d fully body slam on the pavement, chin to shin… somewhere in between and your legs would disappear under the metal disk bottom which could also cause the kid behind you to wipe out on top of you or trample over you in an effort to save himself. There was dodgeball and kickball and jump rope, and you’re it. Sometimes girls fought, more times boys fought, and there was always some hotdog trying to flip up a girls skirt to see her underpants and embarrass her in front of the class. No one ever reported this as sexual harassment! Hardly anyone reported it at all! Because back then being a tattletale was almost the worst thing a kid could be! Don’t tattle you big baby! It was a figure it out, suck it up, clean up your mess, do your chores, don’t bleed on my carpet, watch your mouth, don’t interrupt me, finish your plate, go play outside, win or lose, practice harder, work for it, you can be anything you want, bike riding, roller skating, tree climbing, arm breaking sign my cast, yes ma’am , no sir, please and thank you, may I have, thank you note writing, card catalog, rotary phone, 95-100 is an A, pool diving, soda is a treat, milk drinking, neighborhood roaming, use your imagination, look it up, dictionary & encyclopedia, number 2 pencil, no calculator, only you can prevent forest fires, I brought you into this world and I can take you out generation of wild children who ran and swam free but were home by dinner, respected our elders, covered our mouths when we yawned, said the pledge of allegiance every school day, and God Blessed you if you sneezed! It was awesome!

Gen-x here and my phone only goes into dark mode if I'm plotting against you 😂

1970🤙🏻 train jumping 🤘🏻💯🤣🤣

She nailed it. I'm Gen Xer here (1966) - an OG! We also had 3 pump B-B-g-u-n fi.gh.ts no helmets, eye protection, while wearing cutoff jeans and tank tops. One rule no pellets. We road dirt bikes on the roads and would cruise up behind cop cars to get them to chase us into the woods. We'd throw a pack of lit firecrackers at each other. Rub some dirt on it, get the hell outside, go play in traffic, don't come home until we call you. Not by cellphones we didn't have any of that, by voice. We drove to Florida from PA with the windows wide open because no AC, and me and my brother road up on the rear speaker deck.. Never wore a seat belt (still don't)! We lit woods on fi.re multiple times from matches and tall dry feild grasses on windy days.. We climbed the local water tower 400 feet to paint our names facing the highway, and of course our mom's knew it was us! We did every single thing she talked about plus worse stuff... We're mostly still here!! Good stuff, I loled..

If you're bored I'll find something for you to do lol

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here...... Anyone remember that?

😂

My Dad used to tell us to let the dog lick our scrapes and cuts. Apparently, a dogs mouth was cllaner than ours, and its tongue had healing properties ... 😂🤣

We gen X doesnt want too much attention. We do our thing and everyone else stays on a safe distance from us.

"Everything is just fine!" 😂

Hilarious...and she's devastatingly breathtakingly gorgeous!! Insert wolf 🐺 whistle GIF here, Karen! Milford High School, Class of '94....greetings from New Hampshah...did you ever do a show at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom and I missed it?!? Works good for me cuz I can get really shitty and crash at MY SPOT at North Hampton 😂😂🫶😎 Have you considered doing a gig in black lingerie, Karen?? Pleeaasseee! 🤤😋😜💋

It's funny but not, they aren't taught cursive so they aren't able to *read it*. Enables the outcome of the Mandela Effect, no?

Hilarious

Lol😅😅😅mama

Gen-Z forgets the GenX and Gen Jones are the ones who started on the internet, computers and developed it to what it is today. We know all the backdoor ways online. Bonus we know how to live without the internet and electricity if the grid goes down. See how well that cell phone works with no service.

MID 70'S...We went to the drive in with my dads station wagon AND YES IT WAS GIGANTIC...and my mom had a change of clothing for us so just before the movie was over we were already changed into our pajamas and ready for bed when we got home!!🤣🤣 it was GREAT!!

I know it's a Canadian thing but, they gave us sticks a hard as metal plastic puck to hit each other with, while playing in the middle of the road with cars driving on ice. If someone yelled CAR you looked at them hoping they drove around you. We call it road Hockey. if someone said get his Mom you jumped to your feet and rubbed it off before you got smacked. We might be overly polite but we will kick ass in a fight EH,

Hysterical 😂

Gen X rules at google-fu

Unless you're barfing or bleeding I dont want to hear about it. Now go outside and play!

8:43 we didn’t have BB guns because our mother didn’t want us to have violent toys. So we threw frisbees at each other … at like 60+mph at less than 20 feet. Later, the survivors would upgrade to lawn darts.

We used to poke self lighting matchsticks into oranges, pour lighter fluid on them and drop them out the back of the station wagon from ''the way way back seat'' while dad was blissfully unaware. He wondered why people flipped him the bird when they passed!!🤣

We had "Home Depot" parents. 😂😂😂😂 YESSSS! Yes. We did.

Do all 70's kids have that "permanent callous on their middle finger"? I about fell over! I thought it was just me!

I can remember having Cindy Dobson at my 7th birthday party and we all watched Jaws. She had to sleep with my mom that night she was so scared. I knew at that point we were not meant to be forever friends.

We had two remote controls, my sister and I, dad would say change the Chanel 😅 and we only had 3 stations 😂

Born in 1962. I do NOT identify as a Boomer.

😂we didn’t have ice packs in those rusty metal lunchboxes either. We ate it if we were hungry. We drank that warm milk too 😂The crumbs from lunches before were still in there stuck in the cracks 😂

GenX...still gettin' it done.
