It's just that it all went too far. Right around when social media and smartphones arrived.
nokia phones, myspace and limewire/kazaa were peak of civilization

we didnt know it at the time that it was going all down hill in a few years

So many feels...HNNNNNNNNG! I wish I came of age in the 90’s. It was the golden age of pop culture imo. We’re in the Dark Ages now. Still, I suppose it coulda been worse. There are few fates more terrible than being a Zoomer.

Half of them will be obese by the time they are 25 and they latch on to authority figures instead of despising them by default.

Late Gen Xers and early millennials are pretty close to each other as they have a lot of the same qualities and way of thinking just because they're so close to each other in age and hung out together.

I've noticed people born at the tale end of the Millennial's age group is when you get way different points of view on life.

I think the easiest way to describe Gen-Xers is that they’re the MTV generation. They were there when MTV was created and it was a big part of GenX culture.

GenX had the OG Real World (puck) and were old enough to participate. Early millennials would be exposed to Real World, and it’s popularity with early millennials would carry on into the 2000’s. Then there were shows like Beavis and Butthead, and Daria, both of which were prime GenX or the half breed GenX/Mill crossover, but were still a little too early for prime millennials (born in 84-88)

Late millennials didn’t have as large of an MTV influence with the culture. The whole rebellious side of MTV slowly went away by that time.

Gen X will forever mogg future generations of basement dwelling incels. Edgy? Maybe sure. Def teenage angst, but we were a generation of latch key kids that learned how the world worked through actual experience and not hiding behind a screen.


Go try and get a gen Xer to apologize for offending you and see what happens. They will laugh historically.


Grunge, love it or hate it. Doesn’t matter. But it actually takes skill and musical awareness. It’s miles ahead talent wise when compared to this garbage we hear today with mumbling over a computer generated track made by some basement dweller who knows nothing about musical composition and has to use a program to make noises.

I dunno. I tend to think that with any thing any generation might improve upon as compared with the previous one in any way, there will also be a setback of some sort.

In a lot of ways, my ego just implodes, not even on an individual level, but just as a Gen X'er, when I see how these kids in their teens and early 20s look on Instagram these days. The standards "have really come up". Of course, they have access to a lot of resources that neither I nor hardly anybody else had 25-30 years ago, but there are also the higher standards that they are laboring under.

I write this, though and however, because I was looking at some really soft pron (edited out anything that was "full on") a little while ago, some vintage stuff, and the two actors were definitely Gen X'ers. Their studio was lucky as he** to get either one of then, much less both of them. But one of them, in particular...well, the standards for today would call for about 20-30 pounds more muscle than he had. But looking at how he was back then, OMG, dude was the very definition of HBB. Looking at him and looking at him being really soft with his acting partner, (and vice-versa, they both had GREAT technique), gave me a feeling that it would be impossible to improve on. I have never seen any Instagram swag that could top THAT.

I’m older millennial and all of the people I hung out with were older/genx so I got along with them a lot. So did a lot of other people in my age group/class. We would be the underaged kids in concerts and bars, and the kids at parties with live bands. Drinking beer in garages and jumping into pools like it was a smashing pumpkins video. The generational divisions of x/millennials misses a lot, especially if you were an older millennial with genx siblings. I grew up with Nevermind, In Utero, Dookie, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and a hell of a lot of non 90s (80s) chit. All of my favorite kid movies were 80s. The divide/gap is stupid to me.

This. I was '86 and my brother was '80. I naturally picked up on all my older brothers trends and styles. I remember when Downward Spiral came out, Beavis and butthead superbowl halftime gigs, Daria, all of it.

Gen X we’re the sons and daughters of the forgotten.

We were left to our own devices. Leaving at sunrise and home and sunset. The day was ours. We met each other out in the world and did as we pleased. Listen to grunge/alternative and with a dgaf attitude we made family members of our own. We took care of each other and controlled tech using it as a tool. Not letting it control us.

If you were gen X, you knew how to communicate face to face to get what you want and go online to cast a wider net. There were no “afraid of confrontation” ****ggots in gen X. Everything was confrontational. We partied hard and still had enough brains to know men were men and women were women. Our “edginess” was based and nothing compared to the fairy tale lands that were to come. We were the last generation of real men and women who didn’t follow but made our own way. Calling us anything else will never effect us because we are built differently than any before or after. We simply don’t care.

Depends what you mean by edgy.

Millennials for the hate they get for being gay liberals, were actually able to make policemen into docile wimps now. Police only hassle people who aren't committing crimes who are "safe targets"

Now no arrests are made and they just bother people for nonsensical reasons...or they just end up shooting innocent people lol

The riots in Portland and that CHAZ thing are proof of that.

There were riots prior to this, but things are different in the modern era.

E.g. I guess this could also be attributed to liberalism becoming mainstream now. And probably has nothing to do with millennials.

Yea nah, I take it back. Millennials are not edgy lol
