I feel truly bad that younger generations didn’t experience the freedom and optimism of the 80’s and much of the 90’s. There were major social problems, many of which I’m grateful we’ve made significant progress on. But for a kid living in a relatively peaceful area, it was a great time to grow up. Lots of space to adventure and create, as well as hours and hours of bonding with friends and sometimes getting into a little trouble. I’m sure people still have experiences like that, but they seem rarer, and kids feel a lot more burdened. I hope we are able to re-integrate some of the positive elements of my childhood and adolescence into our more connected modern world.

I love to see your take on the forgotten gen (gen before boomers) as they were dealing with the world wars and its not very well known but they had a VERY similar sense of humour to gen z and were just trying to make the most of a bad situation.

[@Raziel312]

A "young" Gen-X'er here. Meaning my teen years were during the nineties when Gen-X's mood went from manic to depressive. No wonder the 90s saw a high water mark for the Goth subculture (and yes, we could have a long TEDIOUS debate on the difference between Goth and Emo). Interesting thing is that the things that were around in MY childhood seem to have formed the foundation for North American pop culture going forward. Transformers? Still around. My Little Pony? Still around. I was born in the same year the first Star Wars movie came out. He-Man and She-Ra? Getting revivals on Netflix.

[@robinchesterfield42]

YES! I'm Gen-X as well, and it was an...interesting time. For example, people think of the '80s, they think "Colors! Video games! Legwarmers! BIG HAIR!" and yes, those things were there...but the Cold War was still going on, and in many cases that meant we were blasting super-cheerful music to NOT THINK ABOUT THAT. The '80s are one of those really cognitive dissonance decades--I mean, the song "99 Luftballoons" alone. It's an insanely catchy, happy-sounding song ABOUT nuclear war! Then the '90s and everything went both grunge and flannel but somehow also neon and Spice Girls at the same time, attitudes were cheerier than today but pop music started getting really depressing lyrics-wise, in many cases, and we were doing the Macarena at the same time as the cool kids in your class might have--gasp!--a CELL PHONE! Because yeah, us Xers are also from a transitional era for technology, same as Milennials--the younger of us, at least, TOTALLY grew up in a time where the beginnings of modern computer technology were (sometimes) all around us, but we ALSO did a lot of "go play outside!" We literally grew up alongside computers. I can remember roughly what age I was when I first heard about/used things that we use all the time now--like I learned BASIC in elementary school. Suddenly one day, when I was 13?, the school computers had this thing called a "word processor" with a "spell check". I drew my first digital pictures using the embryonic version of Microsoft Paint (it was called DrawPerfect at the time!), and my gaming systems went from an Atari 2600 to an NES to a Sega Genesis to a Playstation (well technically, the playstation was my brother's. He's an ALMOST-Milennial.) And yet, we also were possibly the last generation to truly have the wild rogue-kid freedom of just running around all day with NO way to contact your parents in your pocket at all times, climbing on things we shouldn't climb on and hanging upside down from the jungle gym without anybody having a heart attack. This of course wasn't smart, but we also had the luxury of not constantly worrying about getting SHOT at school! No, just the ordinary mean-girl/bullying stuff... Anyway, I hope you enjoyed (or at least could tolerate :P) my Ted Ramble. Cheers, from a late-1974 kid with an actual My Little Pony and Rubik's Cube on her desk, right now. Because yes. :)

[@Thesilentdemise]

As a Gen Z I have grown up scared. There's always something coming and you are completely helpless. We've grown up with every other week hearing about a trusted member of society being arrested, or under investigation for unspeakable things. We get all these warnings about climate change shoved down our throat and are expected to just be OK with the fact we're being told the world as we know it could end in OUR lifetime. We're thrown into politics and are forced into choosing a side because in this day in age the mindset is "if your not with me, you're against me." Not to mention hate crimes, school shootings, global pandemics, threats of another world war, etc. Over 55% of our generation is depressed and we have some of the highest suicide rates of any generation. It feels like all the other generations problems are being dumped on us and WE are the ones expected to fix it.

[@Hammi4Real]

As a Millennial, I only have one thing to say to you: welcome to the club.

[@bubblegumbitch1465]

It’s really sad how women’s bodies go in and out of fashion.:(

[@singularity3467]

Exactly. We're not commodities that need to keep up with the latest trends and its a shame people are feeling insecure about how they are shaped just because of what we see in advertising. Our bodies aren't supposed to be "perfect" they're supposed to allow us to experience the world around us, and it doesn't matter if women don't have a small waist, slim legs or large breasts. I just hope more of us stop falling for this and learn to appreciate our bodies for what they are.

[@Weirdplexbutok]

@Kimberley Johnson it's her art style oml-

[@quietlydrifting]

@Kimberley Johnson You have to consider what's shoved on main social media's face. A lot of our main musicians or a lot of popular celebrities do have very intensive body shapes (usually hourglass focused). Obviously, as a Gen Z, we know what we're actually attracted to, but some expectations still shift based off of status/class and what you're able to be connected to. So unfortunately if someone is from an older gen, they often can mix up some of those things based off of popular celebrities currently.

[@singularity3467]

@Kimberley Johnson I totally see where you're coming from, but also if you go on Instagram or tiktok you can see how the majority of women on there have the slim thicc Kardashian kind of look. However, usually they've photoshopped themselves into looking like that(or in the case of one girl from tiktok, have gotten a few ribs removed!) and there are tons of videos talking about how social media affects our idea of beauty and body image. I think it just shows how even though we do see more big girls in the spotlight the ideal is still an extreme hourglass.

All the good one's died basically

[@Maplekittycity]

Personally, I think the Karens we see now are people who grew up hating their peers and only listening to what the older generation told them to do.

[@toohopeful160]

I think there's a few reasons for that: 1. Around the time they were becoming parents, there was an economic prosperity they got to enjoy along with gen X, and since it came with their coming of age, I think many associated their own hard work with that prosperity, and so they think millenials and gen Zs are just lazy if the world around them is collapsing and they can't fix that. 2. While there were definitely many protests for civil rights during the boomer era, the same issues of systematic racism and classism remained. A lot of white baby boomers never interacted with a black person in their life, and that applies to other minorities. The rich live in rich neighborhoods, mixed communities are an infrequent occurrence nowadays too, and that means these people never really got an outside perspective. The age of the internet allows us to interact with people from different races, religions, ethnicities and sexuality, and the anonymity of the internet also helps a lot of LGBT folk be public about their sexuality. 3. This one is more of a hunch based on personal experience and kinda relates to my previous point: not all boomers went around protesting, a lot of them enjoyed their privileges and never questioned the racial prejudice they were taught from young age, so to them the ones protesting were barbaric and violent because they didn't see why they were protesting in the first place. That's the case with my gen X (close to millennial) parents talking about the BLM protests going on. There's probably other factors, but that should roughly explain it.

[@YayaFeiLong]

That's because what we call "boomers" today generally aren't actual Baby Boomers. They're usually Gen X

Our times were a rebellion against the mid-70s flamboyance, so plain was the vibe. Also growing up when AIDS was thought of as a very long and slow, awful death sentence, and high schoolers were getting it (this was long before the treatments we have today) it really kinda cut down on the “free love” of the boomers, or the “hookup culture” that came later….

[@gakailyn9249]

Yeah that's the difference lol. Millennials still weren't allowed to express that they had mental health issues. We were isolated and ostracized and internalized a lot of those feelings and blamed ourselves. While we were working to spread awareness of mental health, all the psa's were dark, grim warnings that your kid was going to kill themselves. It was all gloomy desperate "please just listen to us" type stuff. Now there's tiktok lmao. I'm 26 and my baby sister is 18. It's so funny how differently we express ourselves. Shell just pop up a peace sign and be like I wannnna die today😜 and I'm still like, if I say it I mean it and you should definitely call someone. I kinda like gen z's way better though. Yes, we had to be serious about it because we had to lay that groundwork, but gen z built themselves such a supportive and nihilistically light-hearted community. Forever impressed by how easily you guys can express yourselves and find support.

[@beesarthive]

@@gakailyn9249 it's also our coping mechanism. We find comfort in humor and try to deflect support to a degree. We have more freedom with emotions because of you guys, but it's also much harder for us to actually get help because we see our problems as not as bad as everyone else.

[@lanceknightmare]

I was born in 1984 and consider myself part of the tail end of generation X. Generations are not purely about just which year you were born, but also the culture you decided to adopt. It was a time when kids were being terrorized by teenagers. The police did not care at all. They did care about especially disruptive or violent children. The police did care about school skipping. They did not care at all if you were being assaulted, harassed, had your stuff vandalized, or destroyed. Teachers could assault a student in those days and it was basically hushed up with nothing happening to the school faculty member. We had cassette tapes we listened to. Skateboarding and Parkour were both popular at the time.

[@yahirdoesbadvids]

@@LavenderTowne its natural for that type of mindset to slowly manifest as we get older because we generally dont like change. We like to stay in comfort. So when things change and the people around you seem to change mindsets, cultures, or ideologys, you become more uncomfortable and start to dislike the change. This can be avoided by being more openminded and accepting that things change, and that nothing stays the same forever. or more broadly "the future is now old man."

Being born in 97, I identify as a mix of Z and Millenial. My family was a mid-boomer dad and early gen-x Hispanic step mom. We weren't by any metric "rich" but lived in a private trailer park where everyone owned their homes and only paid lot rent. I think there were 70 or so lots, and a community pool and rec center. It wasn't gated, but there was a guard shack. My point is, you said Gen x was the last of the "be home when the street lights come on" generation, and I'm here to refute that. I spent many a summer day at the pool either by myself or with some neighborhood kids, and we'd run our bikes all around the community like hooligans. Nowadays though, things are much less fun and hopeful.

As you get older, remember that even the Boomers started off as hippies and socially progressives for their time. Now we tease them for being socially conservative. Let it be a lesson of how important it is to self-evaluate, stay educated and listen to new POVs all throughout your life. And also to be a little more patient when dealing with older generations who haven't caught up with new times.

[@definitivamenteno-malo7919]

No, it's because all those hippies and protesters and revolutionaries like the Black Panthers were basically murdered. During the 80's the FBI collaborated with drug lords in poor/working neighborhoods to deminish the capacities of revolutionaries. For example, in Spain, heroine went "casually" rampant on revolutionary niches, while at the same time, making a bastard and dull version of protest culture called "La Movida Madrileña", so young people could get cringed and if joining only the surface level. Simmilar things have been done in every Liberal country, specially since the USSR collapsed.
