There’s a funny series of video stitches (responses) that started on TikTok and has moved to all the different social networks. It’s a young man asking, “Who let Gen X off the hook?” Followed by stitches basically saying ‘No, you got it wrong, nobody wants to mess with them/us’… here are a group of them all put into a single video:

It was such a different time. There are more like this about why did we drink from the garden hose?
I love the reference to lawn darts, Google them if you don’t know what I’m talking about. It wasn’t only a different time it was a lot more dangerous. Seatbelts were a suggestion, and as a kid you took yours off in the back seat to play or lie down, and you also got used to being out all day with parents not having a clue where you were or what you were doing.
Here’s one more funny video asking how, before social media, did Gen X parents end up all being so alike and using the same phrases?
There are some common threads that Gen X seem to have around dealing with life challenges. Sure this generation has their share of ‘Karens’, but for the most part this is a generation that is tough, tolerant, and resilient. Resilience is something I see a lot of younger generations struggling with. I in no way am nostalgic and think things should be the way they used to be, but I wonder how we can build more of a Gen X resiliency into younger generations?
Not to get too serious on this light topic, here is a funny way that we just had to be more resilient… before technology was so ubiquitous:
Remember what boredom felt like before you carried the internet around with you on a phone? Are you old enough to understand how hard that was? 🤣
