    Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.

    Which is cool, I guess, whatever.

      My first thought when I saw this was that this looked like some Facebook boomer shitposting from like 10-15 years ago, but with kinda recent slang and image subbed in. I’m sure some gen x would unironically be all in on this, but it’s the small percentage of them that are basically just boomers who time traveled. They’re the same people who still like old westerns and rant about how nobody has common sense anymore, which if you think about for more than 5 seconds reveals that whatever they think is common sense must not be “common” sense at all, actually, and perhaps the current “common sense” is stuff that they never learned, like how to clear the cache for a phone app that’s acting up.

      The “Gen X Rise Up” filter on TikTok showed that a few definitely cared. It died pretty quickly, though.
