GenX is all like "Yo doc, while you're checking my prostate, could you tattoo 'Poe Dog Pondering' in there?" Millennials are all like "What's health insurance? I drink industrial cum and write code 24/7 in a Google ball pit, so I'm not up on the latest meatspace trends."

As an Xer, try to explain the concept of a Slacker to someone whos lived though the post 2008 economy.

If you go by cryptofacist generation thory you should remember there was a generation between the 'greatists' and the boomers. That generation will be remembered because sonic youth and nirvana where not and will never be as culturally important as The Naked Lunch.

if you've never been drilling a loved one and unironically whispered "radical" right after you came, you're probably not GenX, and that's a problem.

If you are unable to recollect bits of Reality Bites or Singles without a tiny tear of nostalgia for your lost youth leaking from your eye, you are not a Gen-Xer.

I actually didn't realize that was Ben Stiller in that movie until years later. And all I really remember is Winona Ryder getting pissed off that Ethan Hawke was singing about why you can only buy screws in packs and not individually.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

theres a big void between gen x and millenial that isn't really accounted for in pop culture; folks who identify a little with each. like, i remember life without cellphones, social media wasn't a thing til college, i had a facebook when it was college-only, i remember kurt cobain's death & the tail end of MTV being MTV, etc

people ages ~27 to ~34 know what im talking about
