    Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.

    Which is cool, I guess, whatever.

      My first thought when I saw this was that this looked like some Facebook boomer shitposting from like 10-15 years ago, but with kinda recent slang and image subbed in. I’m sure some gen x would unironically be all in on this, but it’s the small percentage of them that are basically just boomers who time traveled. They’re the same people who still like old westerns and rant about how nobody has common sense anymore, which if you think about for more than 5 seconds reveals that whatever they think is common sense must not be “common” sense at all, actually, and perhaps the current “common sense” is stuff that they never learned, like how to clear the cache for a phone app that’s acting up.

      “I swear, i had to do a Livestream on tiktok to show off my clothes, show off my style, and increase my charisma while listening to “skibidi” when my stunning girlfriend came by and we were …! Im not lying!” (actually that “gyatt” doesn’t really make sense in this context so i don’t know how to translate, mybe they were getting down? Idk.)

    I’m a Millennial and I’m happy to report I’ve appropriated “skibidi”. I really, really enjoy watching younger people die a little inside every time I use it.

    Does that make me a dad even if I don’t have any kids?
