50 Hilariously Relatable Memes That Describe Gen X Life Better Than Words Ever Could
Interview With Expert
Each generation tends to think that its taste in music, art, and culture, as well as its attitudes and values, are ‘just right’ while those that came before and after them got it a tad wrong.
But it’s completely natural to think like that and feel nostalgic for the ‘good old days’ when the world around you continues to shift and change in unpredictable ways. Everyone does it.
If you want to take a trip down memory late or see what the world looked like before, Bored Panda has collected some of the most relatable and nostalgic posts and memes about life as a member of Generation X. Scroll down to enjoy the pics, compiled from all over the internet, and don't forget to upvote the ones that you enjoyed the most!
Bored Panda reached out to Glenn Geher, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author, for his thoughts on generational divides.
He shed some light on how older and younger generations can find common ground despite their differences, as well as how to stay adaptable in the modern world. You'll find our full interview with Dr. Geher below!

Can confirm. I had lost my hearing one night at a Rob Zombie concert due to the nosebleed seats that we had next to a massive speaker. I literally couldn’t hear. I was disabled for about a week and still went to school and then my afterschool job looking like I was completely deaf since birth. I can hear again but that was just one of the hoards of shows without “protective measures” I went to back when they didn’t cost an arm and a leg.

Worked with a couple of guys who went out, got plastered and somehow managed to drive to a prime parking spot right in front of the front door to work to sleep it off so they could just walk in and start in the morning. Few things..they stank, their hair was mussed, their clothes were wrinkled and one had a beer spill on his jacket, we all knew it was the same clothes from yesterday. They parked where everybody had to walk last them to enter, alot of people noticed to guys sleeping and snoring out front. It was hilarious, they werent fired but we "quarantined" them to an usused couple of desks away from everyone else which began a tradition of the drunken dunce desks.

Velcro wallets was to the ‘80s boys what chain wallets was to the boys of the ‘90s If you were born around the right time, you probably had both. I always had a Velcro wallet when I was young. I could never imagine a leather wallet like my dad. For me growing up in a surfing and skate town in the ‘80s, OP was the off brand. We weren’t into haute fashion, but brand names were strangely a big deal for kids back then. T&C Surf designs, O’Neil, Maui and Sons, Santa Cruz, Vision Street Wear, Airwalks, Local Motion, Powell Peralta, and Chanel Islands Surf were popular. Of course the standards like Vans, Bugle Boy Jeans Levi’s, Chucks (Converse All Stars), and the like were popular at the time too. Calvin Klein, Jordache, Members Only, and some other brands were more popular with the adults when I lived inland closer to the city though.
According to Dr. Geher, people in one generation not fully understanding members of another generation is "an age-old human issue." This has become especially relevant in the last several thousand years due to very fast advances in technology.
"I will hear members of my parents' generation talk about '45s' versus 'LPs.' Members of my kids' generation talk about Spotify and 'streaming,' and members of my own generation talk about what a game-changer CD technology was when it first came out," the professor told Bored Panda via email.
"Members of different generations also often use different slang terms," he said. As an example, he noted that his son used the term 'booling' recently, which is similar to 'chilling' or 'hanging out.' It's a reminder that staying up to date with slang terms is very important for communicating with others.

The fold and tuck was for security purposes.

We didn't have a chose, since some of it would have been incredibly embarrassing, gotten us in trouble with our parents (the ones that gave a s**t) or suspended from school.

"There is also a strong tendency for people to think that their generation is somehow comprised of more enlightened people than is true of prior generations. This also seems to be something of a constant in the human experience," Dr. Geher said, adding that finding common ground is often the key to bringing people from different generations together.
"Games, such as any number of card games, board games, pickleball, bowling, ping-pong, tennis, etc., can be both fun and bonding for people from different generations," he said.
"Inter-generational gatherings, as found at holidays, for example, have that same potential. For instance, this year, I played a game of backyard American football with a bunch of 20-somethings. While I may not have been the star, I think I held my own and it was definitely a bonding experience," Dr. Geher opened up to Bored Panda. "We still text around photos from this epic game to this day."

The key is to facilitate open-mindedness. "If people think that someone from some other generation just 'doesn’t get it,' and is unwavering in this belief, inter-generational relations are likely to be strained. The good thing is that open-mindedness is one of the basic human traits that seem to have a large environmental component—meaning that one’s level of open-mindedness (and the ability to develop a genuine understanding of others) can change based on time and experience. In other words, people can actually become more open-minded with effort and time," Dr. Geher explained.

You bought it from the store this way. You didn't have to bring it home in a small box and have to put it together. And it was metal, not cheap plastic.
According to the professor, it can definitely be a challenge to stay flexible and adaptable in the modern world. Dr. Geher revealed that he also personally finds it difficult when he has to learn a new piece of software for work, even if it is ultimately something that can make his job easier. It's a sentiment that we and most other people share! Learning new things is hard.
"For people from my generation, Generation X, the key is being open to the possibility that novel technologies, art, and ideas may well have merit and utility. I don’t play much in the way of video games, but I used to play Atari quite a bit as a kid," he said.
"When my son turned me on to Fortnite and Minecraft, I have to say that I never exactly mastered these games, but I did develop a rudimentary understanding and appreciation by watching him play. As the old adage goes, minds are like parachutes—they only work when they’re open. And this fact is likely key to fostering connections across generations."

Generation X includes people born in the United States between 1965 and 1980. Members of Gen X are the children of the so-called Silent Generation (Americans born from 1928 to 1945) and baby boomers (individuals born from 1946 to 1964, colloquially referred to as just 'boomers').
After Gen X come Generation Y (people born from 1981 to 1996, also known as millennials), Generation Z (Americans born from 1997 to 2012, who are known as Gen Z or, colloquially, 'zoomers'), and Generation Alpha (anyone born between the early 2010s and the mid-2020s).

We did learn about that at school, we had to do a work safety and manual handling course to pass our Economy & Society class (which is the class that connected with our work experience) regardless of which field of work we wanted to work in. Not that I think most people remembered any of it though. At that time, a lot of our class went on to the TAFE (trade school) equivalent certificate to finish high school instead of the academic certificate though they changed the access to this pathway recently, so I'm not sure if that led to other changes as well.

Naturally, there are small disagreements about how to classify generations and if these classifications are even needed in the first place.
For example, some researchers and online communities take a broader approach and argue that Generation X refers to anyone born between 1961 and 1981. And if you’re looking at other countries besides the US, the generational timeframes will look very different.

Statista reports that around 66 million Americans are members of Gen X. In 2021, they numbered around 65.8 million people, and it’s estimated that this will drop to 63.9 million in 2028.
Generally, the attitude is that baby boomers and Gen X had things easy in terms of employment and being able to easily afford property, which are huge pain points for millennials, zoomers, and older members of Gen A.

I have one of these stuck in a cabinet I found recently. I thought I'd given it to my sister. I'm going to see if it works soon and if it does I'm going to do something fun with my popcorn obsessed grandkids. If you put a sheet on the floor, set the popper in the middle without the lid you get popcorn fun.

Nostalgia marketing is a big driver in business, no matter what generation you’re from. It’s a popular way to sell products (from clothes and toys to technology and food items) that were popular two to three decades ago. The BBC reports that consumers tend to spend more money on brands that evoke nostalgia.
“You don't have to dig through an attic. Content from the last few decades, and even before, is everywhere and so easily remixed,” says the executive strategy director at Brooklyn-based branding firm Red Antler, Liz Juusol. In other words, anything and everything can become content for nostalgia products and content because it's so easily accessible these days.

I live with my parents, all of our dishes are in this same exact pattern.
On the other hand, Krystine Batcho, a professor at LeMoyne College in Syracuse, New York, notes that nostalgia may be less linked to timing and more related to people’s feelings about the difference between the present and the past.
If you feel like something’s missing, you can feel nostalgic, no matter if that thing disappeared “two months ago, two years ago, or 50 years ago.”
