I just want to hang out with Chester every weekend.

There's actually a lot going on visually. Keep an eye out for really subtle environmental humor.

Sifl & Olly is surrealist comedy genius.
I'm glad I'm finally getting around to watching them in order.
(It's mostly aged well except for occasional outdated language and expired comedy tropes. Super nostalgic.)

I'll fuck you up, in public, verbally, ya dipshit #GenX sellout cowards. Promise, for the pathetic peons.

This is related to why I don’t date people my age or older: Gen X is a bunch of bootlickers and always has been.

So...after 50 years of thinking that it sounds like "Oona Babba Leeja," I finally had to find out what the hell John Sebastian is singing in the Welcome Back Kotter theme song. Turns out, it's this...
"Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?
(Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?)
Back here where we need ya?
(Back here where we need ya?)"Makes sense, I guess. You're welcome.

I read recently that Gen X is leaning into booze unlike their younger counterparts. After the Thomas Dolby show in Boston the other night, a fellow showgoer who parked near us mentioned that she'd never seen so many badly behaved people over 40.

Interview with Mike D: ‘After Yauch died I couldn’t make music. I’d open a computer file and just feel sadness’ #GenX

Does band name count? It's the first thing that popped into my head.

@MsDropbear42 Oof, goosebumps reading that. I fell in love with Springsteen's The River when I first heard it all those years ago, and now that I am indeed a mid-50s Gen-X-er ... well, that article hit me properly in the feels.

Even putting aside the context, I still run into folks that don't 'get' how important it was to hear Steve Rogers say, "Avengers... assemble."
At that moment in the theater of the 4th movie, guys of my generation around the world burst into tears.

Goody combs.
A must have for the well-heeled gentleman at Jane Addams Junior High School, circa 1979.
Mine was red, though.
Bright red.

I’m Not a Conspiracy Guy, But……
I don’t really have one specific conspiracy theory that I completely believe. I’m not sitting around with a corkboard covered in red string, photographs, and newspaper clippings trying to figure out who secretly controls the weather. I have a life. And honestly, that sounds exhausting. But

Speaking of less toxic masculinity trends of the 90s, one of the most-played radio songs by Pearl Jam was Better Man, also one of the many feminist tracks of the era.
As a recently-divorced single mom, this song — along with others like Birmingham, Where Have All The Cowboys Gone, Furious Rose, everything by Tori Amos — spoke to my situation: how I was supposed to find a husband, yet there didn't seem to be anyone who wasn't some level of asshole, at least not that would be into me. But it wasn't just women writing feminist music depicting women's problems emphatically.
It's been awhile (ha!) but I'm watching a reaction video that's brought it all back.
More to my thesis that activism took a very different role for GenX. It was a shift in culture rather than politics. I took for granted songs like these and the messages and warnings they shared with young women to help us interpret our lived experiences in new ways. My mother never had a song like this.

Fun fact: Our hotel is in front of the very port that Gilligan & the crew of the S.S. Minnow departed for a 3hr tour before being shipwrecked for years on an uncharted isle.

I get really irritated when I see some video or meme where GenX is completely forgotten or ignored as if we didn’t exist. It’s fucking insulting and dismissive. Then I remember that I don’t give a fuck, and it ALL makes sense, ‘cause your friends don’t dance, and if they don’t dance, then they’re no friends of mine.

Don’t bother asking #GenX. Nobody did before. No need to start now. Whatever.
