Generation X

[Painbringer]

Those people born from '61 to '81.

What happened to them?

And why don't we hear anything about them anymore.

[Thor]

[VJF]

Darn missed it by one year.

[Makakaov]

Actualy just in '61 Wayne Gretzky, Eddie Murphy, George Clooney, Tim Roth, Michael J. Fox, Barrack Obama, Meg Ryan and Eric Allin Cornell were born.

You get to hear about these people. [insert insult here]

My parents were Baby Boomers.

My point is that we hear nothing about Generation X (anymore) in the media or the internet.

[Darthdenim]

Generation X is old and irrelevant!

This generation is much better.

You telling me that Led Zeppelin and AC/DC is better music than the Black Eyed Peas and Kanye West? Please!

You're telling me that the garbage you listen to is better than actual real music?

AC/DC and Led Zeppelin Master Race! \m/

Tch, bitch plz, thats old ppl music, its all slow and stupid sounding, too many instruments and theres like, even parts where theres nothing but one instrument playing for a long time, like serious, shut the fuck up and get back to the singing geezer. And there all hairy, fat and ugly now, totes gross. Music has only been improving especially in recent years, things really kicked off after Britney Spears (lol @oldhags) pretty much founded modern music way back in the 90s. Where would we be without Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and of course Justin Beiber? Their practically like music gods.

Speaking of which, have you met my future Husband(s)?

totes not gay

[HollowedPumkinz]

Haha yeah, I find that picture of them to be a bit too perfect.

But in all seriousness, this Generation's sense of music is appalling and what is popular now are a bunch of no-talent hacks whose only qualities are looking pretty and acting like a freak to grasp at the straws of attention. They are celebrities first and musicians practically never, who among them writes their own songs, who among them can play a single instrument, and who among them can play their song with just a couple amps and real instruments, no batteries, no computers required?

Their musical preferences are a cancer on music, its total shit, and virtually transcends the music "taste" argument. Fuck them and their music, why don't they stick a "hash tag" on that tweet it?

And I don't think we're going to see that change anytime soon.
This pic' I found on Facebook brings up a good example of that:

[Lemonardo]

Because they are the ones running most of the media now.

[Bryan]

That would be around when a lot of our parents were born.

[Grimdalus]

I'm jealous of gen X people. They had all the cool stuff.

They became parents; our parents.

[Entice]

ITT: BAWWWWWWWWWW MY GENERATION!

I can tell by the fact that you think all music now is shit now that you don't venture beyond the popular stuff anyways, which was equally shit 20 years ago.

[Dean]

I thought this was about Generation X, the band :(

Going to be honest here, I'm partial to listening to Billy Idol once in a while.

That is where the name for the generation came from, after all.

yeah, there wasn't even that much porn then. And no internet.

[Tremulos]

Several of them that I know of are working as capable contractors. Sometimes they pay me to help on jobs for a day or two; it's pretty cool.

Nah, my mom was born in March, and my dad in August. He'd be about a month older if he were an alien.

Then again, my high school math teacher told me he sometimes thought I escaped from NASA...

--supergandhi64

[Sense-Offender]

That term is silly because it refers to more than one generation. It's a gap of 20 years.

[Sense-Offender]

Generation xxx! We're all about the weed smoke and the kinky sex!
