Top 3 Things I Hate About Gen X FB Groups:
3. Posts smugly believing we were the last generation to "go outside."
2. Posts weirdly being proud about their parents beating them.
1. Posts of AI slop images of older teenagers clearly in the early 1970s to show how well they "partied."

On New Years Eve, if you start an old VHS tape of Back to the Future at 11:57:30 PM, at midnight you'll see a warning about piracy! Arrrrr! #BTTF #BacktotheFuture #NYE #NewYearsEve
We were driving and "FM" by Steely Dan came on... no one's actually ever written a song about how their Spotify playlist has bluetoothed into their car speakers... right? #steelydan #bluetooth #FM #radio
Remember when they were all like "Adobe Flash isn't safe, but it's okay, we have HTML5 to replace it" and then no one ever built anything cool in HTML5? Yes, this post is actually about #HomestarRunner and #StrongBad
Stay - Jackson Browne
"People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play, just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little ti-
Wait, what? Oh... the union minds?
Really? They said what?
Sorry everyone, show's over..."

The Cranberries, INXS, and U2
You kids are probably too young to remember, but in the 90s every band had to wear a blue uniform at one point. #Cranberries #INXS #U2

Battlestar Galactica
You know, it's been nearly twenty years, but I don't think there's been a more thrilling moment of television in that time then when Galactica jumped into the upper atmosphere of New Caprica in Exodus Part II. #BattlestarGalactica #Adama #SoSayWeAll
Apple TV is pretty good.
Now it's up to five! 😅

I'm just buying them to put on our mantle as a status symbol. Like they used to do with pineapples. #eggs
I remember in college art class learning about critical deconstruction. And it was fun to tear down the old. But we were never taught that we should build something new each time we did that. Just the tearing down was the end goal.
I have this growing fear that Gen X's never-ending buffet of sarcasm has poisoned the well so deeply that now no one believes in "earnestness" anymore. There's this nihilism about the actions of others. And that nihilism makes it easier for bad actors to tear institutions down.
It is to me! :)
Jesse's here! Yay! Jesse's here!!!
I've been thinking about this for awhile, but didn't take it to this (logical) conclusion. I've been thinking about us in Gen-X being sarcastic about everything and now no one believing anyone does anything earnestly...

*their younger versions (dammit)
I remember people saying the same thing about Boomers: that they're younger versions would be disappointed. But the truth is that there weren't that many actual hippies in the 60s and there probably weren't that many actual counter-culture folx in the 90s. (And I'm proud of you, too!)
