I am Gen X and we are NOT the Boomers.

Shout out to all my fellow Gen X’ers🎉 I wouldn’t change the times I grew up in for anything 💯‼️

When has a genXr ever used the phrase “I can’t adult today?” Never happened. We were adults at age 10.

As a Gen X , she isn't totally wrong, we are the worst , when you cross us.

As a Gen X’er we don’t like to be called out. Leave us alone in our darkened rooms and corners of the net. We got raised by horrible boomers (we had to raise ourselves) and we literally used the trauma to make all the bad-ass music and books and movies that younger gens sample and copy. You’re welcome… and don’t provoke.

As a Gen X i truly don’t give af. One of the great qualities of being a Gen X😊

They're angry because they're jealous. Gen X had all of the fun and basically got away with it.

"If I have to come out there and you ain't dead, you're gonna wish you were" - what I heard often as a Genx kid

Gen X'er here. Raised by the Silent Generation. Toughness PERSONIFIED.

Difference between Gen X and all the other generations is, Gen X will still punch you in the face and not give two shits about your feelings.

We rode around in the back of pickup trucks with no seat belts before the safety laws ruined our fun

These young ones Would Not last a year in our childhood lives

I'm Gen X, and here's the thing...We DON'T CARE what pink haired girl, or ANYONE thinks of us. We grew up early, we KNOW ourselves, and we don't give a sh*t!!!

"If someone isn't broken, unconscious or not breathing, don't bother me" said every parent of a Gen X kid

Gen X. We are young. Heartache to Heartache we stand. No promises. No demands.

Proud Gen X here and I can say confidently we're the generation who if backed into a corner, come at you like a rabid honey badger!

Folks are actually acknowledging our generation's existence? 😂👍

Its hilarious that we actually have millenials having our back 😂😂 absolutely love it. Respect ❤

We Gen X'rs are just sitting back and watching the world burn.

I’m a Millennial (‘85) and my older sister is a Gen X’er (‘69). That woman will NOT take sh*t from anyone, and she’s always been fiercely protective of me as well. *I f*cking love her.* 😭

Gen X doesn't cry about pronouns.

Gen x here. We got left home alone for days and taught ourselves how to blow shit up and cut car brakes.

As a Gen X er we were raised to know that if you call someone out you better be ready to defend yourself physically. We truly believe in live and let live.

Gen x has been adulting since age 9 and oh I almost forgot… we don’t actually care

I was raised by two Gen Xers - they do not play, they have very little sympathy for bs and they toughened me up. In hindsight, even though I was somewhat resentful over the years, I am glad because they made me strong and realize just how weak and gullible the Gen Z are by comparison

As a proud Gen X, I would tell the pink hair girl to "say that to my face."

Gen X here. I have never heard a gen Xer say “I can’t ‘adult’ today”. That’s not in our vocabulary or in our dna.

What these spoiled Gen Z fail to remember is that Gen X were the people who grew up when Communism was still a thing, when wars of independence from colonial powers were still going on and we are the ones who as older teens and young adults saw the wall fall, saw South Africa end apartheid. We were the ones who lived through and fought in the Balken wars, stood on the wall in Berlin partying, endured the wars in Central and South America, Africa, the ones who ended the trade in blood diamonds, grew up watching the war in Vietnam on TV. They do not want any of that heat, we were the generation that ended Communism, and the wars that had raged for 40 years that the boomers could not.

As a Gen Xer, I'm so tired of listening to this inter-generational bs. It's been 20 years. Boomers, amiright? Kids, amiright? FFS. The jokes and stereotypes are old and tired. Are we done yet? It's just inane yammering at this point. Having said that, I do feel like maybe Gen X should get into it because this 'tell people what they want to hear and don't offend anyone' world we're in is such utter bs. No one is real anymore. No one is honest with anyone. No one can have a real conversation. Kindness is not telling people what they want to hear so they can stay locked away in their own reality and drown there. Kindness is telling people the truth so they can live in the real world. Maybe Gen X should all come together and just bring back honesty for the entire month of July. If nothing else, it'd be highly amusing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeahh as a young millennial, I don’t want no smoke from Gen X 😅 I can definitely think of worse generations…

I'm a Gen X grandma. By the time I was 8 years old, I knew 5 effective ways to get blood out of fabric. I have been told I can flay people alive with my sarcasm.

We've been "adulting" since we were 10...

Gen X here. We are the original "don't start nothin', won't be nothin'." There used to be commercials reminding our parents to check to see if we were home. We don't care, unless you make us. So, walk away little girl. Just, walk away!

Tough talk for a generation that can be taken out by peanuts and glutton.

As a Gen Xer on tiktok (66) I got to wonder if the only reason my fellows are even responding to this is because they think it's funny to egg this stuff on.

I am an Xer, I remember one time I fell off my bike after hitting a rock in the road, front bike tire was destroyed and I had stones embedded in my forearms. I had to carry my bike half a mile while bleeding, and I got in trouble for being late for dinner, no one helped to bandage my arms, I had to do that. No one helped me remove the stones that were in my torn up fore arms, or helped to fix that bike. So if you have any doubt about how we were raised, I am sure my fellow Xers can lay many a story on you.

GenX here! Look, I have GenX and menopause rage. Keep coming for us. Give us an excuse 😏. I suggest you don’t but if you want to, give us an excuse 😎.

You other gens realize that Gen X is also a generation of smart@$$es? We're just effing with you. We don't really care.

Just remember GenX doesn't need a smart phone to figure out where to hide the bodies.

Gen Xer here... What's funny is the other day. I was talking to Gen Z. As of right now, I Doordash. One of them asked me if I ever get fatigued when I dash, I'm riding a motorcycle... "Well, I'm a little fatigue now..." How long have you been dashing? Bout 16 hours😏 He was like waaattttt? Yeah, kind of need some $$ to pay a bill right now. He asked then. What's the longest I ever dashed for non-stop. I'm like 27 hours... Let's gooooo😝

The fear of menopausal and perimenopausal Gen Xers - valid 😅😂😅😂

Gen Z is obsessed with prior generations. The constant throwing rocks and hiding hands.

As a Gen X, imagine coming after our grandparents who fought WW2 and built the world we were living in for us. And then we start to explain to them how life works and how their experience, existence and legacy are irrelevant... while still enjoying and taking for granted all the perks of the world they passed on to us and while they were still running the economy and paying for our stuffs! We created such a safe world for these new kids that they can call out their elders with that tone without even considering a reaction. Especially in some of their comment sections. We wouldn't have dreamt of approaching the elders like that for the sake of our survival. Thanks to genx who stopped or reduced the repetition of Generational trauma, now kids can be safe while being jerks. The level of self-centred entitlement, ignorance, and arrogance of these social media generational division trends have reached unprecedented heights. Plus they can never nail us no matter how confident they try to sound.

Being a Gen X myself, we have kept quiet simply because we don't care.

As a gen-xer, I remember being left to fend for myself at 14-15 years old and babysit my younger brother who was 5 years old, on the weekends whenever my mother took road trips to party. Oh and, landline phones with no free long distance phone calls were still a thing that time. And of course, there was no Internet.

Gen Z have a lot of time on their hand to hate on everybody 😂

BTW if anyone remembers the TRULY TASTELESS joke books or watched any Mel Brooks movies you will see why we so laid back

Gen X, the last generation to understand that words are just words.... Your words can't hurt me.... 🤣🤣🤣

I'm a millennial. I think generation wars are dumb. But I have to say that Zoomers on the internet annoy me. They somehow manage to be both oversensitive and insensitive at the same time. They are extremely condescending and think they know everything. They have a huge chip on their shoulder and act like the world owes them.

When I hear someone trying to come for us gen x, I get the same feeling when they come for other gens. All I hear is whining and complaining. The online generation war is fueled by people unhappy in life and expecting others to fix it. If you're unhappy with society, the economy, or whatever then what are YOU doing about it? Laying in bed filming tik toks? Whatever criticism you have of people my age there is one generalization of us I wish others would copy. Being independent and self sufficient. This is often mistaken as "Gen x doesn't care". No. I'm too busy taking care of myself instead of expecting others to do it for me.

We were the last generation that had to have arguments face to face. No social media, just fists. Our parents had to have a commercial to remind them “ it’s 10 o’clock do you know where your kids are?”

What's so funny to me is that folks are pissing on the one generation who doesn't give 2 sh!ts about what anyone thinks

Let the internet disappear right now and see who survives. My money is on GenXers and Boomers.😂

Thank you millennials for having our backs..

As a Gen X, perimenopause rage is real. Leave us alone.

Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Gretzky, Street Fighter 2, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Exorcist, Pulp Fiction, Faces of Death, Wu Tang, Mobb Deep, Nas, Metallica, The Cure, The Misfits just to name a very few influences on a 1978 kid. The childhood/teenage life of a Gen X person was just different. Our era was sick!!!!

I’m silent generation, and my daughter is Gen X. After my divorce I had to work overtime most days. Thankfully my parents were alive so she stayed with them. I use the term stay loosely because she was never in the house. She and her friends were the epitome of moving in silence. So nice and respectful of their elders but I’m learning now that she was a bit of a thug. She never started a fight but she somehow always ended them. I found out later that her friends called her “the finisher”. Even now, she’s the sweetest person,but if you stray out of your lane she will deliver a verbal headshot. You have to push her but if you insult her or try to hurt feelings she won’t go back and forth, she’ll just say the worst most personal thing she knows about you and end it. I have been so embarrassed by some of the things she’s said, and told her I thought she went too far. Her response was “they shouldn’t have come for me. Headshots only”. I love her but she’s savage. She has no compunction about eviserating someone she sees as a threat to her peace. Please leave those hooligans alone lol.

We make them look bad mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. And we won't let them be the victims, they want to be.

All gen x does is just shake our head And a laugh at the skittle hair.People, especially the ones that looked like they fell.face first into a tackle box

At least we don't wear nose-rings and need trigger-warnings.

Gen-Xer here. What'd we ever do to anyone to deserve this? We were the Baby Bust generation and had to live in the shadow of the massive Boomer generation who were the original "Me Generation" and who were so self-involved, we were barely barely parented. You saw the series "Stranger Things", right? We were the generation whose parents were so uninvolved, we could literally fight demons and our parents wouldn't know and we had to live through the Satanic Panic.

Gen X here. All true. I literally dont give an F. If you bother me, I will fight you. 😅😅

I am an older GenX. ('67) All I did watching this video was nod and laugh. GenZ is a pain in the ass. The entitlement from them is crazy.

How come the pink hair girl looks older than most us Gen X ers 😂

I am genX. We are very much a transition generation between the way old things were done and the new tech generations. We fought racism during the Rodney King era & lost to a great degree. We kept our mouths shut for many years after that but we are waiting for the young to brave.

My GEN X brother and I were sword fighting with 16 inch long kitchen knives and I won. My brother got a 2 inch long and 1/4 inch deep cut on his arm. Our parents didn't take him to the hospital because the knives were so sharp that where I cut him it didn't even bleed. Don't fuck with us. Just don't. We knew how sharp the knives were when we started.

We aren't the worst, we're just the meanest.

I'm gen x and all of this complaining from the walking crybabies is highly laughable and entertaining.

Gen x generation need a hug 🫂. Everybody i know from that generation grandparents or aunty was raising them. Both of my parents are gen x and there parents where very irresponsible.They basically raised them self.

I believe my mom is Gen x or on the cusp of boomer and she’s the strongest women I know in every way. She can endure the most shit and not get tired.

As a Gen Xer, I think we’d likely respond with a simple “who cares what you think” or for some, “Fuck off, losers.” LMAO.

“Can’t adult” ? That sounds like something a Millennial would say, a Gen-X would never talk like that. Also, avocado toast ? Seriously ? Again, something we didn’t do.

Why everybody saying we Gen Xer's are crazy and violent? I mean we are but you ain't gotta say it🤣 I'm actually pretty chill, a little dark sometimes😂Every generation has its pros and cons. I learn so much from Gen Z and milennials. Smart people know to take a little lesson from everyone around them regardless of age.🙏🏾

Who woke me up?!👀'74 here & I don't care. Last to learn long division by hand. I was birthed, given a housekey and told to find my way home by streetlight time. I wasn't driven anywhere, littlemisspinky! Had to figure all kinds of stuff out on my own. Original savage💯

It's true us Gen X'ers are built differently. We don't believe in giving "time-outs", cyberbulling, cancel culture, or being politically correct. We grew up in a time when people couldn't hide behind computer screens. Generation X had to settle all disputes outside after school. Message to the Gen Zers out there...please don't come for us. Don't do it.

Thank you for the video. As a gen Xer, I don’t care much and I don’t need any other generations approval. I appreciate it, but I don’t need it and that is what sets us apart.

Gen x here. Pink hair is blessed to have the internet to talk ish on. In school, with US???? she would have gotten the Molly whopping of her life, Ran home and cried. All because she let her mouth write a check her-- couldn’t cash.

So here is my story I’m a millennial raised by Gen Xers and when I was in grade school, I had a couple brothers that followed me home and beat me up regularly at first I didn’t tell my parents about it but they realized when bruises started appearing. I’d come home disheveled and crying bleeding, my father tried to speak to the school first and this is how he met the boys and their parent when it became clear that no one was going to do anything he had me tell him where they lived and went to their house, beat the shit out of their father in front of the boys and promised to come back if they ever messed with me again. Those boys crossed the street when walking by and never even looked at me again.

"we were sent out with weapons" OMG, SO TRUE!! Not fake weapons either. I have a picture of my little brother, maybe he was 4, getting his first rifle on Christmas. Standing there in his little blue robe, smiling from ear to ear and posing for our so proud parents. I honestly didn't realize that there was "Gen X stuff" until all these videos came out. Everytime I watch one it is a flashback without acid -lol (obviously older gen x here). We just "were". We just "did". As long as no one called your parents, nobody cared. When I was 5, I was out with the kids, riding on the back fender of an older kids bike, not wearing shoes cause we didn't, going down a hill AND my foot slipped into the wheel spokes. The bike flipped. I was laying on the gound with the bike wheel wrapped around my leg and spokes poking through my foot. There was no 911. The oldest (and fastest rider) rode back to the neighborhood, told the parents (who were all smashed and now pissed because they had to get up) what happened. My dad grabbed a pillow to keep the blood from getting all over the seats in the car. My uncle grabbed some bolt cutters and off they went. I'd been laying there for 30+ minutes before help arrived. The kid whose bike "I just wrecked" had woken up. Yes, he was knocked out, but as he wasn't bleeding, he was left "to shake it off". I was extracted from the wreckage with the bolt cutters, my foot, spokes and all were put on the pillow, and I was put in the backseat if the car - a convertible, my dad didn't even put the top up and no there were no seatbelts either. The blood was flying, likely landing on the cars passing. My dad drove THE 30 MINUTES to the next town where THE hospital was. The mom's went back to drinking and getting the dinner ready. The kids went back to playing. After I got out if surgery, I went home. No hanging out in hospital (too expensive and since my injuries weren't life threatening my dad was not going to waste money). When I got back home all the kids shared their version of the bloody mess and I shared all the gruesome details of having the spokes removed and my heel being reattached. I started school a few weeks later on crutches and hopping around. We didn't miss school! Our parents had enough of us over the summer. So, my message to Gen Z is the same as the others. Don't try it. Don't even think it. We survived our childhoods and we don't want to hear you crying. We learned this little phrase from our dads and it seems appropriate now: "I'll give you something to cry about." 🤣

Younger Gen X here. Three of my siblings owe me their lives (all Millennials who I never let forget it, lol): One almost drowned because the adults and lifeguard were doing God-knows-what at the beach (I saved him when I was 8 even though I couldn't swim either). One was a toddler who climbed out a window and toddled to the angled-corner edge, nearly falling three stories (I was 10 and did the jumper grab-and-scoot back to safety). One almost got flung off a carnival ride so I held onto him with a death grip until the ride was over and the carny just shrugged when I told him (I was 13). I almost died at least ten times before puberty. Concussions were like collecting credits on a punch card.

When I saw the Challenger explode, I said: "I guess NASA means need another seven astronauts!"

I’m a geriatric Millennial, one year off from Gen X and raised as Gen X. I think Boomers are the worst as they passed their narcissistic trauma onto three generations: Gen X and Millennials.

Here's a Gen X example....The kids from IT. No parents, no authorities and those kids faced true horror. That's Gen X.

Gen x’er (71) here. We are the generation who got fucked up at rock concerts, took a Doc Martin boot to the head in a gnarly mosh pit and got back up. There were no safe spaces. We embrace our scars. 🤘

Idk GenX is a feral generation, Their parents were not watching them, they had all types of mental health problems and no help. I would not wake up a sleeping Bear called GenX. The Generation of latch key kids, not helmets, no seat belts, no car seats, no SPF, As previously mentioned, the typical family started to look a little different when Generation X came around-namely, more working mothers and higher divorce rates. This in turn led to more latchkey kids (i.e., children hanging out at home without grown-up supervision after school until a parent came back from work). For these reasons, self-reliance, plus a corresponding ability to stay above the fray. I’ll always stand up for GenX. Wow a lot of you hate GenX🤣🤣 About to write a whole novel. I feel like yall had a lot to deal with:

And as a Gen x 71 there is a reason we used to put rings in the nose of cattle, it’s a convenient handhold. And just invites being yanked out.😂

As a Gen X '68, I'll wear that badge with pride, 'The worst Generation means 'don't fuck with us, we were havin' a good time watching the freak show with a coke and a smile. The gloves are off, they always have been for us.

First of all, I cannot believe our generation was even acknowledged! 😅 Secondly, if you know ANYTHING about Gen X then you'd know WE DON'T GIVE A 'F' if you like us! 😂

😂😄 “met ya family. F*ck ya up.” She was so cheerful with that. I love her.

As a GenX I’m ashamed I’m making this comment. Cuz this girl is just seeking attention, and we’re all wasting our time giving it to her 😜

Gen-x hears you, gen-x dont care.

I’m Gen X, and as a kid I’ve done things I won’t even mention here. All I’ll say it’s by the grace of God himself that I’m still alive today… We Gen X don’t give a F%#$ what others think of us, but a word of advice…. Don’t poke the bear… Gen X wrote the book on FAFO….

Gen X here~80”…she really Doesn’t want the smoke 💨

I’m a Gen X’er and we are tough. My parents NEVER had to worry about me. I practically raised myself. lol…just kidding on the last part…but I was a latchkey kid.

Millennial raised as a Gen X. My sisters are legit Gen X. FAFO was life and sort it yourself are the greatest life lessons. The only difference for me is that my parents saw potential difference in my behavior affecting their finances so I got just a little bit more watching.😂😂

Gen X here. A lot of us raised not only ourselves but our younger siblings. I was 5 when I started cooking for myself, 8 when I started caring for my first younger siblings, 10 when I became their full time caregiver. Even when it was so my mother could go out with her friends. Our parents stole our childhood so they could relive their youth. When they were home they didn't want us anywhere near them. Hose water and neglect. The things our parents did to us are seen as criminal these days.

I’m Gen-X I think younger generations whine and complain too damn much without doing work to change circumstances. Think of all the cool things that are a part of society bc of what GenX created and invented. Anyways we keep to ourselves, are super independent and best of all we mind our business!

Dude. Just leave us alone….No one is bothering anyone here.

The young man who thinks he and his generation "put us to sleep" is cute. Not physically adorable cute, but "bless your heart" cute. I paused the video to ask husband (also gen x) "He's going to get his ass kicked, right"? He answered in the affirmative to which I responded with a simple "Cool, Babe. Just double checking." It's adorable that he thinks he had any previous effect on us at all. Now, he's also brought attention to himself. It'll be hilarious for whoever catches the show.

She should leave Gen X alone. We don't invoke them.
