All right, nauts.
Let's do this.
What's the generation breakdown here?
Are you --
@InUnfunky Not surprising. I knew immediately this place had a strong GenX vibe. A spirit of independence peppered with a touch of sarcasm.
She was born in 64, but her demeanor is classic GenX.
I have 2 brothers - one born in 1964 and one in 1965. Same parents. Raised in the same home. Etc etc.
1964 brother is a full-on stereotypical angry racist misogynistic Boomer - MAGA "get-off-my-lawn or I'll shoot you with one of my 200 guns" type.
1965 bro is chill af and happily vibing through life.
*Obviously not all Boomers are like him. Pointing to the stereotype.
@WaevetSmaevets @InUnfunky @CLManussier
same !
The 1964 cut-off is mean and random.
By 1964 we weren’t “boomers” because the “boom” was over in the early 60s … we were termed generation x because we had no cool nick-name. But by the time hollywood got ahold of the term genx we were a shade older than Hollywood’s “best-before” date so for sex appeal they bumped the category forward a few years… thereby even taking the x away from us! Baby-busters-not-baby-boomers ✊ it’s a lonely cause tho 😂
@WaevetSmaevets @InUnfunky @CLManussier
also I love her ❤️
@heatherdale @WaevetSmaevets @InUnfunky @CLManussier Mystery Men! I love Janine! Love that movie!
@dauphin87 @heatherdale @WaevetSmaevets @CLManussier
Would you believe I never saw it.
In fact…I REFUSED to see it
Which I think is very Gen X.
🙄😅
@InUnfunky @heatherdale @WaevetSmaevets @CLManussier Well, I've never seen the X-Files. I still refuse.
@dauphin87 @heatherdale @WaevetSmaevets @CLManussier
I saw an episode or two.
Not my thing.
(I thought it was fostering credulity amongst the masses. And yes, I AM fun at parties! 😆)
Gillian is X, is whatsisname? 😏
@dauphin87 @heatherdale @WaevetSmaevets @CLManussier
Hold up, my mistake.
Yes, I saw “Mystery Men (and Women).”
I DID NOT SEE “Reality Bites” for much the same reason I didn’t watch MTV “Real World” shit.
No offense to people who take offense to that cultural comparison.
🙄😱🙄🤓🤓
@InUnfunky @CLManussier @WaevetSmaevets
She’s BoomerX. But leans more Gen X. 😁
@TiarePalau @CLManussier @WaevetSmaevets
Who else of their "ilk" isn't Gen X? John Stewart? Colbert?
Don't you dare mention Jimmy Fallon. 😆
@InUnfunky @TiarePalau @CLManussier @WaevetSmaevets I kinda feel like us #GenX are here still not doing enough. But maybe that's just me.
@Ellico2020bis @TiarePalau @CLManussier @WaevetSmaevets
We're chilling and waiting in the cut, watching it all go down.
Time for me to over-generalize..."we" have "always" had a sense of not being able to stop the unstoppable. So we step back and observe and comment and act if we can...by voting. And then voting some more.
🤓
Yeah, some of us have gone fashy. Who hasn't?
@InUnfunky @Ellico2020bis @CLManussier @WaevetSmaevets
Yep… there’s that group of Alex P. Keaton GenXers who grew up in 1980s Reagan yuppie culture. Some of those unfortunate souls ended up leaning fashy, IMO. Sadly, I have family members who went this direction… 😣
@InUnfunky @CLManussier @WaevetSmaevets
Colbert
Chris Cornell
Lenny Kravitz
Keanu Reeves
Sandra Bullock
Michael Jordan
Tarantino
Courtney Love
Chris Rock
Ben Stiller
Whitney…
The list goes on. Tbh, these are my peeps too. My older sis is hippie-Boomer, my younger sibs are gangsta survivalist Gen X. We all agree it’s a miracle we’re still alive. I’m in the middle… BoomerX - aka peace loving hippie/chill survivalist who’ll help those I love bury bodies if needed, without flinching. 🤷🏽♀️
