damn right! written by my favorite author, Grand Mal
Gen X here. What made us uniquely who we were is that we were the first generation to know that the boomers were full of shit. It was a loss of innocence.
And MTV. It’s interesting to observe how little is relevant anymore what we grew up with. And it’s getting faster and faster. Social media in it’s current form will die too in the next 10 years or so. Memes will prevail, though. They have to.
Hose water was awesome!
What other type of water was there? Turn it on let it flush and drink!
Uhh excuse me. There was also watergun water. Stream water. Bath water…
Water from a rinced off Windex spray bottle.
Hey don’t forget the water barrel. If you dunk the bottle down deep under the scum on top, that’s some good, cold water!
I’m technically a millennial (right on the cut off) and I was also raised on these, but instead people keep blaming me for everything.
Nobody cares.
neglect
because boomer (too much) enjoying their life?
Less helicopter parenting.
GenX were allowed to be latchkey kids and roam free. Later generations got weird about parenting and safety.
Gen x IS the later generation raising their kids super protectively. And we don’t even know why it turned that way.
Because journalism started becoming fear bait. They raised ratings by making people scared to be outside, or think if they let their eyes off their kids for a second, they’ll be taken (even though it’s far more likely they’ll be killed in a car accident, or abused by someone they know).
Media did it.
There are something like 60 child abductions per year in the United States that aren’t family related.
