Social media has become a platform for individuals who want to showcase their unique perspectives and share some experiences that others could relate to. The Gen X’ers are no exception. Born between 1965 and 1980, Generation X falls between the baby boomers and millennials. Despite being referred to as the “Forgotten Generation”, the representatives of this group prove that their experiences and perspectives are far from forgettable.
This time, we want to present you with a collection of the funniest Gen X references made by Twitter users who also happen to be Gen X’ers themselves. The social media platform has been taken by storm with their hilarious posts that perfectly capture the essence of their generation. People born back then are known for their independence and resourcefulness, which you can clearly deduct while reading their humorous posts. This is only a little taste of what you are about to discover about Gen X, while getting a glimpse into their own impressions and memories shared in these tweets.

Not all Taylor's songs are "whiny songs about her exes". That's a really stupid stereotype of her songs.Edit:Why did I get downvoted???

I can appreciate TS's songs now that she is no longer a teenager singing about being Juliet and believing in happily ever after. And I have to admit, the first time I heard her song about sitting in the bleachers versus the cheerleader dating her crush, I was flabbergasted that it was a new song and not a cover. How had that song not been written before?

Generation X is very often characterized by several unique traits and qualities. They grew up with minimal adult supervision, which as a result taught them the importance of independence and work-life balance. They are also known as resourceful and self-sufficient. All these independent factors influenced Gen Xers and enabled them to excel in their careers and come up with some unique ideas.

I'm 68 and in the mid 1960's I would meet my mates during the summer holidays and we would go to the park and play football/soccer for hour after hour and I can honestly say I have no idea what I ate during the many hours until I went home at about 10 at night. I obviously ate something but not sure what and I'm pretty sure all I drank was water from taps in the parks toilets.

I had a curfew. I had to get good grades. I had chores that had to be done. I was expected to cook at least one dinner a week and one load of laundry a week. Other than that my parents had NOOOOOOOOO idea what I got up to. I fulfilled the obligation of responsibility and expectation of respect, and in return I was loved, cared for, guided, and most importantly, left free to my own devices that covered about a 5 mile radius, stretching up to 10 miles in grades 12 and 13.
The “Forgotten Generation” values work-life balance. It comes from their experience with the economic hardships they had to face in the '80s. They learned to put personal time first and follow their own ambitions and aspirations. Gen Xers are characterized by very good time management and impressive strategic thinking skills. Thanks to these traits they are able to perfectly balance both - personal and professional life.

Same! Not sure when tea time is (my Scottish gran sometimes called dinner that, so evening meal?). My Pop was a big fan of reading, and raised three book nerds. Breakfast & lunch, sure…books at the table. Dinner? Not so much, but we weren’t one of those families that talked much. So I got bored, and started to bring a book to dinner. He objected, and I pleaded that “I just got to the really good part, though!” Being the youngest, and the only girl…I got my way. Dinners turned into the whole family reading at the table. And then staying to discuss what books we were into at the moment. Suddenly, we were talking more than ever, because the conversations would turn here and there.

Gen Xers are known for their flexibility and informality. They find it easy to adapt to changes if necessary. Also, whoever thought they have some difficulties keeping up with the technology, you could not be more wrong. Since they were growing up during the transition from analog to digital technology, they turn out to be technological adepts.

IN NZ we had bullrush "Bullrush (also known as kingasini) was a popular chasing game at schools until later in the 20th century. It started with one or two 'chasers' standing in the middle of a field in front of a large group of children. The chasers tried to tag or tackle the children as they ran to the other side. Tagged children became chasers. The game lasted until one person was left untagged – the winner. From the mid-1980s some schools decided to ban bullrush because they were concerned they would be held liable when children were hurt." We all carry the scars with pride.

I was a 34yo closeted married male in 2001. Married male workout/tri-athlete buddy of mine and I had a weird need to "be right" and show the other he was wrong in almost any discussion. He once gave me a mix-tape - which I 100% assumed was him being cocky and showing me what good music was compared to the crappy music I liked. I listened to that tape dozens of times as it actually had great music. I eventually forgot about the tape; I rediscovered it about 15yrs later. It included songs such as "Get The Party Started" Pink, "Constant Craving" KD Lang, "Hero" Enrique Iglesias, "Relax" Frankie Goes to Hollywood, "Passionate Kisses" Mary Chapin Carpenter. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED it was him professing his love/lust/desire for me. I was SO STUPID! UGH!!!!

This pretty much literally happened to me. Go the metal ball from Mousetrap lodged in my throat when I was 5. Father couldn't get it out and shouted at my sister to go get a knife. While she was doing that, he held me upside down by my ankle and whacked my back in a last ditch effort and luckily it came out and he didn't have to slice my throat. Then he went back to watching tv and I just packed up the game like it was a normal occurrence.

Homeowner ran out to pull me out of the road and see if I was ok. I came to and was so embarrassed that I just acted like I was fine. I ended up pushing the bike most of the remaining 2-3 miles because I was so dizzy. Swam probably 4-5 hours tho cuz friends with pools were rare in my town. Had to take advantage of that shizz.

I remember once during the summer holidays, had been out all day. My shirt was ripped on the sleeve, stained in places by blackberries, dirty jeans as I’d been pushed into dust and I had a few cuts and bruises. The only thing I was toLd off for was that my shoelaces were undone.

I never understood the massive fan base to idolise Tupac, (I’m a millennial) the guy wasn’t that great and to be involved in gangs and guns while promoting ‘gangsta life’ regardless of your fame is lame. Music is ok, he wasn’t like the 80s cab Calloway or anything

If you're Gen X from South Africa, you vaguely remember apartheid but it's layered with your love of TV (started in 1976) which was mostly American and inclusive, so you don't "get" it when Boomers talk about the "good old days" like it was a good thing. Except for the fact that they could keep the power on.
