[@TubeSockDude]

its so damn funny that Gen X all think that somehow their childhoods were scarier and harder than ours as if they forget that not only did we go through the fear of being kidnapped from our neighborhoods and expirienced child abuse, (my moms claim as to why her generation is the strognest?!) but we were also shown graphic footage of 9/11 in school, lived through two economic depressions before adulthood, expirience the terror of regular school shootings and now, have less rights than they did as children. Gen X had it easy as hell as kids. At least they got to be kids.

[@CRITICAL_HATE]

This elder millennial says....boring..to both these generations..x'ers and zoomies...BORING plebs. While genx was getting high and having kids and zoomies were shitting their diapers us millennials were really there for 911 our formidable years were destroyed. I hate when zoomies think they own 911. stfu. Us millennials were actually living through these depressions instead of learning to pee in the toilet and school shooting please. Ever hear of columbine. My graduating year 2000 I had 3 count them 3 bomb scares at my school and one shooting. Genx acts like victims when they are not and zoomies act tough when they are not. That is where yall are exactly the same. ZOOMIES AND X'ERS ARE FAR MORE ALIKE THAN THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

[@jeremygreen2883]

Why does Gen X claim this is one of the most formative life experiences they ever had, that shaped them into the people they are today and made them better than everyone else?? Were their childhoods that uneventful?? I would never self identify as a "hose drinker," that's like making your whole personality peeing in the pool as a kid. Picking the most lame sounding thing you possibly could and claiming it makes you cooler than everyone else. So bizarre.
