Why Is Generation X So Afraid Of Getting Old?

[bogey_j]

is it just me or is generation X having a real tough coming to terms with aging?

you have these ol' still rocking fitteds and shyt that was hot 10 years ago. you have these mid-life crisis broads trying to dress all young & sexy, still clubbing with kids at home. both men & women buying all these miracle facial creams and injecting botox into their face to erase any unwanted lines. I feel like the whole milf/cougar movement started in earnest with gen x'ers. gen x also fully embraces social networking and are up on all the latest tech be it the new iphones/tablets or videogame consoles

I feel like the baby boomers settled into old age rather gracefully. gen x they just can't accept the fact theyre getting old

I agree, maybe that's why the younger generations are having a hard time finding better role models.

I blame them for raising this soft ass terrycloth generation of kids today

So this all started with Generation X, huh?

So there haven't been immature nikkaz/bytch or people afraid of getting old since the beginning of time?

What is generation x exactly?

 

[The Guru]

Women are told they're done at age 28.
Men are told as soon as they settle down hell begins.

Out of curiosity, what do you consider Generation X to be?



Because I thought of Generation X as being people who were in their teens and 20s in the early 90s...which would put them in their mid-to-late 40s now.
Damn near 50.

If you were 20 years old in 1990, you are 44 years old now, breh.
And Generation X has a range of anywhere from being born in 1960 - 1980.
Since I was born in 1980, I kinda tend to think people a bit older than me comprised Generation X.
Basically, Pearl Jam, Guns & Roses...those guys were Generation X.

Saying how life expectancy was probably shorter in the beginning of time......

Damn this dude can't read I already explained that in my post. It was the teenagers part that had me like Which since we are close in age should know and that's why I was like mid 40's lol.

I was actually thinking about this last week. Being in your mid to late 20s places you in that buffer period between Gen X and Millennial.

Social media has completely re-shaped Gen X the most i think. It came and reconstructed that generation's norm the most. I was in high school and college when social media started, and exploded. It was a young people's thing, something my older cousins and friends didn't do.
