You know you were scarred as a child when you have trouble asking for or accepting help. Or maybe just #GenX ?

If you are GenX and wore a house key around your neck on a shoestring like a necklace, you might be entitled to compensation. #GenX #IWasALatchKeyKid

Just watched #WhereTheCrawdadsSing a beautiful film that will pull in the #GenX folks who grew up with 'Stand By Me'.

❤️ this person

I am here for this #GenX #HipHop #Nostalgia and #OutsiderArt and I want the full 90 minute documentary version of this person’s life!

Moving my kid into his dorm for sophomore year, and it's so funny watching my wife make his bed and unpack with him. (He himself is an active participant, so it's not like she's doing everything for him while he plays in his phone.)

I don't know what her parents did, but the contrast with mine is remarkable: they were like, "all right, here's your shit, have a good semester." #GenX #College

Je disais "gros" à les potes avant que ce soit cool (et pour faire woke je le dis aussi a mes potesses maintenant) #GenX

@auscandoc @fifilamoura @gorskon ^^What they said!

Age is a spectrum and only one aspect of a person. Generational groupings can make fun cultural memes but it seems to me their utility maxed out in describing #hippies vs #theestablishment.

I just made it into #GenX but identify with #boomers on some topics, #millennials on others.

Have never seen “River’s Edge” but am now interested in giving it a watch - thanks!

Every time a #GenZ kid calls a #GenX-er “#Boomer," an angel gets its wings Sawzall’ed.

For Gen X software engineers, I argue there no better album for head down coding that Pretty Hate Machine. Prove me wrong . . .

Fully 21st C #genx moment:

Soaking my arthritic ankle on the couch, listening to the now-retro Revolutionary Tea Party on vinyl, watching #Destiny2 streamers on YouTube on the phone because I can use the Vinegar app to strip out the ads.

Interrupted by texts from my sister-in-law on food allergies and my adult children's fibromyalgia because they're about to visit. So I check the wastewater surveillance viral load summary for #VancouverIsland at https://bccdc.shinyapps.io/respiratory_wastewater/ as we consider masking for relatives who should be in our bubble. Then procrastinate harvesting fodder for the chickens for a second while checking social media for the latest war, climate disaster, and fascist depredations, looking for patterns and hope.

So now time to pop the bread in the oven and head out and hay.

"You who see for us a future
come sit here with we
Mek wi drink tea
Let's talk
Mek wi analyze
Mek wi strategize
Mek wi work together"
- Lillian Allen, 1985

I thought you all were kidding 😂 Does anyone remember Tipper Gore leading this fight back in the 80s against the #music industry? I sure do #GenX We got the parental content labels put on our records and cassettes 😂 What a political mess!

Don't bother reading this article! I just saw it on #News feed and thought it had to be a joke! It's not. I remember Dee Snyder schooling Congress back in the day! #MTV was all over the story 😂

Quick Gen X shibboleth/tester:

Play the following sound clip. If the person has drawn a deep breath and is starting to say "Hey" as it ends? They're a Gen Xer.

(And if they're not? I don't care when they were born; they can't claim Gen X as an identifier. They are so far outside the Gen X mindset, it's just not a tag they can use.)

(N.B.: I hate that movie, like many outcasts. And I've heard the song to death. But it's still hard to stop that initial "hey"; that intro slaps.) #GenX #music

Falco - “Der Kommissar” (1981)

Dreh' dich nicht um, schau, schau, 🎶
Der Kommissar geht um! 🎶

One of my favorite guitar riffs. Fits perfectly and drives the song. 🎸
