'We Are Gen X' - Original Song

Who had to collect call their Mom from the mall? (Sidenote: I was laughed out of several establishments trying to find a paper map.) #genx #comedy #gettingold

Coming here to read the comments about a song about Gen X and seeing all these millennials in the comments saying no, it's really about them, is the most Gen X experience ever.

We of the Gen-X were so lucky we had the best

Let's hear it for the last generation to ever go through college without having all their drunken antics posted on social media for posterity

I can not only read a map, I can refold it. BOOM!

[wysteriaherr]

I felt this deep in my soul. Don't forget, we can read and write cursive.

The *only* miss is that no self-respecting Xer woulda carried their backpack on both shoulders. One shoulder, baby. That's cuz we ARE GEN

[abalt]

Don’t forget we can entertain ourselves with absolutely nothing! There wasn’t an app for that!

I heard the best story from a fellow Gen Xer. If he was out past his appointed time he would call home and when his Mom would pick up the phone half asleep he say, "It's ok Mom, I got it." as if he picked up the call from another phone in the house. Genius.

We are the last generation who spent all day, unsupervised with our friends during the summer and boy was it glorious. Breakfast at home, rode my bike to my friends house, played outside or went to the mall, and basically did whatever we wanted. The next time I saw mom or dad was 30 min before dinner; had said dinner with parent and then off to bed to rinse & repeat.

Don’t forget our phones had 20 ft long cords to walk around and we all had to be home when the street lights came on. Much better time in life 💖

Gen Xer's use to eat our cereal in the morning with missing kids on the back of the milk carton staring at us.
Our Parents.... "It's beautiful outside! Get out of this house, go play with your friends, and I don't want to see you till dinner time "
Ah, good times

GenX: "Nobody ever notices us"

AARP: "Well hello there!"

[allgirlreview]

One day Gen-X will break out of nursing homes by writing secret notes in cursive, using print maps to plan, and driving a stick. ETA: someone below mentioned rotary phones and I have to agree that is also brilliant!

[aliciabrand]

As a fellow Gen Xer, I must say that I absolutely LOVE this song! Thank you for representing our generation so well and so sarcastically! Wonderful!

[emilyhaggstrom]

As an elder millennial, I relate to a whole lot of this. Remember listening to the radio waiting for your favorite song to come on so that you could hit record on your trusty cassette tape recorder?

Class of '88 here. Trivial Pursuit was created in '79. We played FEVERISHLY in the late 80's.

Thank you for doing this! I'm so tired of Gen Xers being called Boomers!

[boulderskigirl]

Thank you! Spot on!! Funny story-- I was hanging out with my friend's gen zzz's and they wanted to order pizza. We were out of the US and it was a bit "rustic, " so, for my fun, I made them use the PHONE BOOK to look up the ph # of the pizza place & call in the order...the younger girl pushed the correct buttons on the old school phone, but when the call connected she got this bewildered look on her face-- when I asked what the problem was, she said she was hearing a really weird sound. It turns out that she was hearing a BUSY SIGNAL for the 1st time. ROTFLOL!!!

From one Gen X to another, Gen X is truly awesome! Love the song ☺️💕.
