47 ‘Memes From Generation X’ To Entertain You While Prepping For Midlife Crisis (New Pics)
No matter when we are born, many of us feel very nostalgic for our childhood and young adulthood. This sense of nostalgia offers a rare glimpse into how other generations used to live: what trends, products, shows, and cultural icons dominated their day-to-day.
The ‘Righteous Memes from Generation X’ Facebook group is a fantastic social media project that captures the essence of Gen X—people born roughly between 1965 to 1980 in the United States. And all in meme form! We’ve collected some of the freshest ones to share with you. For Gen Xers, it’s a blast from the past. For everyone else, it’s an interesting history and pop culture class. Don’t forget to upvote your fave pics as you scroll down.
We wanted to learn about what makes Gen X so unique in the US and why each generation seems to be critical of others, so we 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. You'll find Bored Panda's interview with him as you scroll down.

Don't forget the playground version of rings hanging from a chain, like the Men's gymnastics do. Who didn't think about putting your foot through the ring to dangle upside down, not worrying about how you'd get back down.
I wonder what this Boomer would say if he saw young men in 2024 wearing midriff tops and booty shorts... Newsflash - you DID dress like that back in your day!!!
I finally realized the reason for this. So basically all the static background objects are painted and designed by the background artists, anything that movies is done by the animators. Basically, you get a background painting with the blank space for the animators to work their magic. Also the more something has to move, the less detailed it usually is. Less detail is easier and faster to animate. Especially with the Hanna-Barbara TV method.
