The most innsuferable people on earth.
Who actually takes time to toast them? And why get a plate dirty? It's just common sense, people.
Have you ever actually toasted pop tarts, though? It will change your life.
Toaster strudels are better than pop tarts but I feel like that's an apples to orange comparison. Like I don't get Taco Bell because I want Mexican food, I do it because I want Taco Bell.
Toasting pop tarts carmelizes the sugar. Try it, it's amazing. Eating cold ones is like eating cold spaghetti. You can do it and it gets you full but is unsatisfying.
The great thing about being a millennial is that no matter how old you get, you'll always be 21.
21? More like 7
Boomers continue to refer to all young people as millennials, they never had any fucking clue what it meant
7 is too young to kill every industry by eating all the avocado toast with a comically large spoon that you bought instead of a house.
I'm just looking forward to when I'm old enough to kill the nursing home industry.
gen x do not make the deaths of complete strangers about you challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
What is it with this shit? Is it slowly aging out of the most sought after advertising demographic that makes them think they've been forgotten?
no, we're a "baby bust" generation caught between two much larger generations. between the boomers' narcissism, larger population, and grasp on capital, we had to endure their grip on popular culture long past their prime (and 1989, the 20th anniversary of woodstock, was just awful to live through... so much self-congratulation). after that, we had about 3-5 years where pop culture paid attention to us in the 90s before britney spears and the boy bands marked the cultural ascendancy of the millennial. not long after that the media landscape completely fragmented to narrowcasting and i think some xers are salty that we won't be able to loudly congratulate ourselves to same degree the boomers did (honestly, if you want to know what the late 80s were like, imagine don henley's "boys of summer" on a human face, forever)
but honestly, who cares?
oh well whatever nevermind
At least you had a chance to revive swing music in the most terrible way imaginable
May honestly be a part of it, my parents constantly complain to me how dogshit commercials are nowadays (I know, right) and I frequently remind them these commercials aren't supposed to appeal to you.
Gen X are going to be (barely) remembered as the janitor generation. They get to clean up the gigantic mess left by the Baby Boomers, just in time to hand the keys over to the Millennials who will undo all their hard work.
Baby Boomers and Millennials don't agree on much, but they agree that Gen X should pay for it all.
GenX was made in a US lab to make a nuclear apocalypse the preferable option.
Gen X grew up entirely after the draft ended, and they came of age around the time of German unification and Glasnost. Cold War I belong to GI, Silents, and Boomers.
Generally true, but from what I've heard tensions really ramped up around the early 80s, and domestically media was really pushing the threat of nuclear annihilation. It's something that seems to have affected early to mid genXers particularly acutely.
The US was losing the Cold War in the 70s. Then Reagan came and was going to really start a nuclear war. It's not surprising that traumatized a lot of children. "The Day After" was in 1983 and scared the daylights out of the nation.
i don't want to cry 'boomer erasure' but exactly what does 'X' have that compares to the cuban missile crisis lol
it appears the general public didn't even know that was going on; the soviets feeling threatened and stuff i mean
First bout? Weren't libs bleating about WWIII for the entirety of Trump's term?
Like when trump assassinated Iran’s revolutionary general who was one of the most beloved people in the country
People (well, men) were straight up terrified of being drafted to fight. They were saying they were going to flee to Canada just like their fathers before them.
Tubular dudes, let's ring-a-ling-ding Gen X and hang out. We can tune out, turn down, and rock the vote over this Red Dawn stuff. Wassss uuuuuuuuuuuup. Smells like Teen Spirit in here. As if.
