We got to watch the world go dark. We were born when it was still light out, and we had no idea the dimming was real. We remember a time.
Gen X'er here. Complained about how unfair life was as a kid in the 80s and teen in the 90s. Now I realised how good we had it. > No security cameras > Could say whatever you wanted and not be sanctioned > Compliment a girl on her tits and she would smile and say thank you! > Guaranteed jobs straight out of school > Faggots beaten regularly > Secret porn stashes in the woods > Male teachers as role models > Cities not overrun by minorities Really was a better time.

This, we will either be the forgotten generation or not, but we have to do something. Our fight is now!

>> Cities not overrun by minorities Perhaps in Kiwiland but in the US the peak of inner city decay was during the period when Gen X were teens.
Ryder Cooper
Everybody is too young, buddy. I'm literally in the middle of the millennial age bracket and I'm 28.
The closest X'er to me is 8 years away at 36.
Easton Long
Absolutely true brother. I wish I could go back to a time loop of 1985-1988 for about 500 years. Man it was awesome. Ever seen the San Juniero episdoe of Black Mirror? If not it'll make you happy and depressed at the same time.
This hit close to home. I am too young for the old money, and too old for the new money.

My first internet search was 'Spawn', from the old Image comics. Zero results. Goddam i feel old.
Ethan Gray
Yes mate. I worked at a Woolworths, one day out back I was talking to the butcher. One of checkout girls walked past, 17 yo, skinny, ling blonde hair, honey coloured skin. The butcher said to her ' you better watch it love, get too close to me I won't be able to control myself.' she asked him what he would do. He answered ' I'll stab you with my dick'. She smiles and pushed her ass out as she passed us.
It was a great time to grow up mate.
Ok, fair point. We've been overrun only in the last 10 years or so.
all of those high schoolers look like they are 35. the casting manager of the breakfast club should have been fired for this.
Dylan King
How does beating up gay people make your life better... are you really that much of a brainwashed pol-tard?

Thomas Peterson
Generation Xers were born before 1980. Sorry to bust your bubble. Generation Y is who you are talking about. I'm also 36 and graduated high school in 2000. I'm considered a Millennial. They called us millennials years before we even graduated.
Austin Robinson
Their were way less fags and most were in the closet, Transsexuals were vilified like freaks, tattoos were for real badasses, music was way better, women still knew their place in society. Oh, and we still had serial killers.
Oliver Turner
Download it or Netflix. It will drag you right back to 1987. So nostalgic.
I never beat them up. But they knew their place in society. They were still openly considered to be mentally ill. Even back then I had a phase for a couple months wondering if I was bi. I shut that down pretty quick because I knew it wouldn't be conducive to growing up in a small town. I was cool with it, didnt need to experiment, way preferred girls anyway. A kid nowadays in that headspace would be encouraged to explore that with a view to turning them into a full on faggot. It's criminal what teachers and the curriculum are doing to kids now.
Michael Gray
Back in the 80s ppl looked today's 35 already in their late teens.

I have honestly never gone through this. I wonder how many guys have.
Dylan Brown
Depends on who you ask. People like to switch around what years mean what all of the time.
Near as I can tell the actual social impact of the whole X to millennial shift varied wildly on how close you were to a major metropolitan area. Places closer seemed to be affected sooner. At least that's what I've noticed anyway.
I lived out of town, but not so far that I was in the boonies. So I grew up with a lot of X-era esque things that people my exact same age would balk at. That being said the exaggerated softness shown in the average person my age is appalling. I remember when a woman being cat called would take it as a compliment, not start a march over it.
Michael Cox
To think that during all those years, the only real technological advancements for citizens have been aimed at controlling us better, distract us, and make us obedient consumers.
Josiah Cox
Mine was Southpark official site on comedy central... like '97?? I would print pics of cartmen

This. We are the bridge between analog and digital world. We will one day clean up the mess, it won't be thicc boomers and it won't be braindead millenials, it will be us having to do the roping user.
Colton Bell
Probably not many. For me I thought I might be, but I saw a folded up picture of actual homosex, it nearly made me vomit. That's when I realised I was normal and that shit wasn't for me. Kids now have all seen the most debased sex from an early age, ass to mouth, trannies, even animals ffs. Back then we had to sneak a department store catalog I to the bathroom and jack it to the underwear and pyjama section using our imagination. Finding real porn was a mind blowing experience. I can't imagine how fucked up someone's brain is when they've been hardwired on porn since childhood. That freaks me out.
I had a banana seat bike - Had a big fuckin spring over the front tire
Dylan Thomas
Gen Z recent graduate here, these are what things were like at my school, in Texas.
>faggots still get shit kicked outta them >libtard teachers get trolled, mocked and baited >Chads whistle at babes in hallways and they would respond by giggling or shit (haven’t seen anyone get feelings in a twist) >Meet ups at parks, malls, bowling alleys, local sonic, or abandoned buildings >Smoking in bathrooms >Race cars/burnouts in school parking lot >Large amount of students are anti communism, and supportive of president Trump >Largely white >People hate Hollywood, and are aware of “the man” in media >Largely anti rap and favor more classic 50s rock and swing >Students fucked around, because school couldn’t be fucked about happenings, and hardly used security cameras >Cursing in hallways and classrooms, because quite frankly nobody gives a shit >Some student rigged vending machine to hand out free drinks. >Classic clicks, jocks, nerds, cheerleaders >No SJW tolerance, or commie activity. >Everyone massively redpilled
Overall things were pretty swell, sad to say bye, but glad to leave, and start my next chapter.
Banana bikes were the shit. My dad showed me how they used to put baseball cards in the spokes in the 1950s. He used a Micky Mantle card.. Ah we were so naive and happy.
My old school liberal friends and I discuss this. They tolerate my conservatism better and better as every day more of what I've told them about and explained to them becomes clear. They are looking around and asking "what the FUCK happened to our world??"
I have one friend, known her since preschool, whose kids go to our old high school. She can't believe how high pressure everything is, and how censored and conformist. She remembers how when we were young there were all these funny groups you could belong to, like the "nerds" or "stoners" or "jocks" or "bookworms" etc. and laments that her kids have no such choices. They are just worked to the point of nervous crackup in the fierce race to get accepted at good colleges. There are literally no stoners anymore. Think about that. I mean, we were never potheads, but all the stoners we knew in high school turned out fine. It was just fun to play with that persona as a teen. We had such an easy time of it. Things are so difficult now for kids. And we really don't see how anything we did caused this.
I think it's more what we didn't do. But we legit didn't know. Granted we had an excellent Russian Studies teacher who spoke Russian and educated us about both the fascinating culture and literature of old Russia, and the totalitarian nightmare of Soviet Russia. I think that we who took her class have a better understanding of the true horrors of Communism than most folks even today. But we didn't fundamentally understand how the world worked, we didn't understand the depth of jealousy towards the West out there. We didn't get it that powerful, monstrous forces beyond our borders wanted our nations and would do anything to take them, until it was far too late. We didn't see that the good times would end. My friends still don't. They are just beginning to understand, because the media has lied to them for so long.
>and we had no idea the dimming was real You chose to laugh it off.
Henry Reed
Clean up what? Boomers still run shit and they are retarded. Millenials are also retarded and they are replacing boomers. There will be nothing to clean up user. When we were growing up, politics was a dirty word. I hardly know anyone who did anything with politics. The only good thing about still growing up without police state is if it all collapses, I will be among the survivors. But it's not going to collapse. It will decay.
Michael Jones
Sounds like the tide is turning if what you say is true. If so, keep fighting the fight and be rebellious. Seems millenials may have alot in common with Boomers and gen-Z with gen-X.
Tyler Richardson
Yeah put my mind right into that computer. I am ready. Right back to 1987.
Was Yahoo available in 1995? I remember I had to grep registries. I didn't use web based search for a while after it appeared. Kinda sucks too, because had I known Google was an ad company I would have bought it at IPO.
Jeremiah Thompson
To the point where they need to paint stuff on sidewalks at intersections so people don't walk into traffic while checking their phones. We need far less prevention and more passive eugenics. Stop saving lives already.
Matthew Perry
We all carried knifes at school - no one ever got stabbed or even threatened with one . The buck 110 (pic) was the most popular .
Maybe in England. In the US only students worked at fast food jobs and if you looked for a job you normally had to choose between 2 or 3 the first day. Also people really didn't think so much about money. I never though about what apartment to rent. I just rented the one I liked. You could afford any of them with a wage-cuck job. Hell in the US in the 1980s if you signed a year lease on an apartment they usually gave you a free TV or Washer and dryer. There was keen competition for renters.
It was just a false reality and noone had caught on. Whats so great about that? Ignorance is bliss? I don't get it. Sounds like a fools paradise.
Benjamin Diaz
Oh I wish I was a neo-nazi with skin instead of hair In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air I was born too late, to a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a neo-nazi with skin instead of hair
When the jewish state didn't mass produce porn Not everybody drank the corn- -syrup in their foods and men were still a thing When the marxists didn't have control And jews hadn't ate with your soul And faggots were still scary and some people were right wing
Oh I wish I was a neo-nazi with skin instead of hair In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air I was born too late, to a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a neo-nazi with skin instead of hair
San Junipero episode is depressing af. Not because it shows you a golden past that will never come back but because it shows you the meaninglessness of our golden cage life and how we detached ourselves from reality. And it shows you that it already existed in the 80s. It also displays and celebrates degeneracy like every product they shove in our brains.
Bro, I seriously used to always carry one of those.
Camden Morgan
Born in 1980 and I remember clearly when these things hit the market, also my uncles Apple macintosh classic was like something from the future, what fucking generation does that make me then???
>muh politics, everythings fine, stop complaining You are spot on, I remember the times, didn't know it was the same in the US. I mean if any generation is able to fix this mess it's us. Boomers will die off, millenials are too crazed by internet. The only people I meet having rational opinions and not paranoid spergings is our generation. We learned to watch but we learned to be good at it.
Ayden James
who remembers their first internet porn search?
I remember seeing a fake picture of brittany spears with a harry pussy in her school outfit when i was in 5th grade. hnnnnng
Liam Phillips
Indeed. Safe spaces are horrible. I'll take smoked filled rooms and dangerous cars and freedom anyday.
Is "sneaking out" still a thing? 80's kid here. Used to do it all the time in Jr. High and High School. Clueless parents didn't even question why I was always sleeping in until 1PM on the weekends.
Samuel Gutierrez
Everyone smoked and drank and party hardy everywhere life hard work hard play hard life. SO everyone looked older by default.

I knew LOTS of skins in the 1980s. They used to get me to translate German for them lol. They were alright but a bit fucking crazy. The whole corn syrup thing is so true. i was with my mother on vacation in Mexico and she bought a coca-cola and started crying. I was like WTF mom, whats wrong ? She said, "This Coca-Cola taster like Coca-Cola did when I was a girl"
No corn-syrup.. yeah society is much worse off now. We kill ourselves just to exist now. Hell even working class people in the 80s had ALOT of leisure time. Much more so in the 1970s.
Still have an active hotmail account since 97. Most of you newfags weren't born yet.
Carter Moore
1979 here. i remember rotary phones and when you dialed 0 you got a real life operator and she was always female. i remember having to find library books with the card catalog. i remember endless summer nights with my friends riding our bikes. i remember reagan and gorbachev on a black and white tv. i remember when a pack of marlboros cost $2.50. i remember when niggers were just a novelty and we all thought they were funny
all those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain. time to die
Yes you are correct. I was in Berlin in 1987. Man you wanna talk about a fun town! Holy shit it was GOLDEN there. I went back in 2000 and it sucked. everything changed. The Kudamn in the 1980s was 100s of bars one after the other. Now it's furniture and rock climbing stores.
I don't think we were very degenerate in the 1980s. Definitely frivolous but I wouldn't call it degenerate. Families were much stronger and we looked out for one another alot more.
I remember this. Jobs were REAL easy to get. I went from K-mart to Subway to Krystal in a two month period. Of course I was in high school, but I remember working with the "adults".
March For Our Lives is a recruiting operation for Antifa.
Kids were being distributed anti-white, anti-cop propaganda at the event. The deep state is now trying to swell its Alt-Left paramilitary group ranks with underage kids. SPREAD THIS INFO EVERYWHERE.
>What this means: THE DEEP STATE IS TRYING TO GET KIDS TO MURDER WHITE PEOPLE AND POLITICAL DISSIDENTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
> A Texan couple have been arrested in Boston after police found a haul of weapons inside their hotel room including AR-15 and AK-47 rifles along with parking tickets which suggest they were surveilling the site of Saturday's March for Our Lives protest. Deep state is in panic. Get this out! A “mentally ill” man rambling about dealing with a virus and his wife armed with military restricted weaponry were arrested before they could “carry out their mission” at the March for Our Lives:
Don’t let this be slid. They were plotting an attack like Las Vegas- many weapons lots of ammo. How the fuck did they get 40 mm ammunition? The elites are pushing for a civil war this year!!!!
Me too . I had a cub scout knife but when I got in 7th grade I had to upgrade .
Grayson Barnes
Your flag checks out. Britain was a mess in the 80s wasn't it. Here's my experience.
Worked at Woolworths on late night shopping and Saturday mornings. Got that job because I saw a sign saying staff wanted. Was wearing shorts, Duran Duran t-shirt and flip flops, had Nik Kershaw haircut- went to the counter filled out a form and had a job 5 minutes later. I was offered a job in a mechanics at age 16. Walked out if school and started work the next day. Parents were fine with that. Got treated like shit, made fun off by the older guys, did all the crap jobs. But I loved it. Worked my way up, at age 30 owner of the business gave me the keys. Asked me to run it. Now own my own business. Shit like that was so easy. A friend of mine was a pizza delivery driver, on one delivery got offered a job as a boiler maker, another friend became a fitter and turner. One time we were sitting drinking at a service station parking lot at 2am and a guy came up to us asked if anyone wanted a job. He was a plasterer and needed an apprentice. One friend said Ok and was told he starts Monday. Lots of stories like that and with just a couple of exceptions all of us have done well for ourselves. I kinda feel thats not really possible now. everyone is forced into thinking university is the only way to get a decent job, or they just want to be an IG or youtube star.
Robert Hughes
>Real language with little euphemisms This, everything was so straight up. No bullshit. Just the truth and reality.
And our only visible minorities were a few blacks, mostly nice kids, a few legal Latinos who likewise worked hard and spoke perfect English, a few Chinese and Japanese kids who were sweet and got straight A's. And we were all Americans. There weren't divisions. Nobody hated each other over race. The occasional exchange students--I recall we had an English teacher on exchange, and students from Australia, Afghanistan, Belgium (twins!), Germany, Israel and Ecuador. Oh, and a girl whose family used to work for the Shah of Iran and who escaped when his regime fell. Her stories were so interesting and she was such a cool girl. We all got along. What the fuck, right.
Julian Cox
Of course! And way more than that, kek
Jordan Ramirez
>Sears catalog, bra section. Oh yeah that was out pornhub lmao.. So true. We were so naive back then. I remember the exact day I heard the word FUCK for the first time. Took us 2 weeks to figure out what it meant and then we still didn't understand because we didn't really know how sex worked.
I was in fourth grade.. Not sure how old that made me.
Teenage rebellion will always exist untill they figureout to turn the whole mass into controlled opposition. Large scale like what they are doing with the gun control kids.
Julian Kelly
Hey some of us are here. I'm an older GenX even. Parents had me in their 40s, Dad fought in WWII. I miss them. They were so real and caring, not like the self-absorbed, partying boomers most of my friends had for parents.
Lucas Jenkins
Pretty much this. It was so much more relaxed time between men and women. They are bascily now finishing seperation of women and men into competiting blocks with this #metoo campaing.
Jayden Nguyen
Too bad his art sucks like hell
Wyatt Harris
And this is where you hit the nail on t he head. >But they knew their place in society. more like everyone knew their place in society. Majority of women in the home raising kids, men out working, gays only came out during the night in gay clubs and bars.
Now we have the majority of women act like men, men out of work, gays are out night and day. The social order has been turned on its head and everyone hates each other.
