Talkin' 'bout my generation

[sabotabby]

Don't tell me I'm not X. I'm on the borderline between X and Y, but my mindset is pure X.

This rant is why.

Generation X is beyond all that bullshit now. It quit smoking and doing coke a long time ago. It has blood pressure issues and is heavier than it would like to be. It might still take some ecstasy, if it knew where to get some. But probably not. Generation X has to be up really early tomorrow morning.

Generation X is tired.

...

Generation X is used to disappointments. Generation X knows you didn’t even read the whole thing. It doesn’t want or expect your reblogs; it picked the wrong platform.

Generation X should have posted this to LiveJournal.

So I'm reblogging it on my LiveJournal. Hat tip to symbioid.

It's weird how little the categories we learned in high school matter to today's kids, mind you. I see jocks who are into anime. It's one improvement I see in this generation compared to ours.

Yeah, but I see them as part of wider societal changes that happens on many generational levels at once. Although, I like to hope that with the "It Gets Better" effort and the gay rights movement, cruelty and bullying may make some small, lasting overall drop for everyone. My teen years was like Heathers on a good day.

This is one thing I've heard more and more of, that groups that wouldn't be caught dead associating with during my High School Days of Olde (aka 12 years ago) intermix and that those categories don't matter anymore.

And I will be continually mystified by the juggalo phenomenon.
