We the latch key kids.
No helicopter parents.
Agent orange running thru our veins....along with nicotine, alcohol, and thc!
Didnt live with mommy and daddy till after 30 and would never want to!
Didnt have tech to dumb us down as kids and young adults.
And well watch it all burn down to the fucking ground and dance with ourselves!
Ready. Steady. Go!

Not a problem!
I can do 100 years of Solitude standing on my head!
No need for that pansy-ass social media!
Just give me a stereo, my stack of records, and a case of blank tapes and I'm entertained for months!

Ya, Gen X can easily say F-off! to the whole world.
Also, we were the first to grow up believing in imminent doom and apocalypse: Red Dawn, The Day After, Night of the Comet, just to name a few

our Great Depression is our lives. Weve all been raised on television to believe that one day wed all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we wont. And were slowly learning that fact. And were very, very pissed off.
