Age 46 here - so glad to be a member of a generation of people who weren't obsessed with having other people "like" us. We don't care. This is what makes us cool AF. And we can take a joke, not "be offended", and just MOVE ON if something is just not for us. We don't have public temper tantrums, wallow in our victimhood, and require apologies. We just MOVE ON. It's called maturity. Gen Z and millennials need to grow up.
I was born in 1980 and i am considered a cusp year. Depending on whoever made the scale i am Gen X on some and Millennial on others. Then they tell us just to pick the generation we relate to most lol 😆 And that's hard for me because I have Gen X and Millennial traits. I was in that weird year where i remember signing on computer with a dial up and hearing a screeching modem waiting to connect. 1980 was probably the last year we remember hearing AOL You've Got Mail 🤣
Age 19 here - writing a paragraph about how cool you are and how much you don’t care doesn’t help your case. You sound insecure and scared of a new world with changed interests. Respect to your generation, but the boundaries you pushed don’t exist anymore, so being “punk rock” or “not giving a fuck” doesn’t mean anything and it just looks lame to us. Maybe it’s better to care. P.S. Bret Easton Ellis has been on the same tirade against young people for years, it seems to me like maybe he’s the offended one.
As a Gen Xer, I can see you guys failed to learn the lesson society taught tried to teach us by getting colder; Buying into the system will not save you. Also, Bret was born in 1964, making him a boomer. Remember when the boomers were accusing Generation X of destroying everything because they were a bunch of soft slackers? Eat a dick, Bret.
I’m a millennial and I absolutely hate that aspect about myself and peers. Bret said “millennials have this shame we didn’t have”, it’s so true. we want to be liked. It’s the toxic nature of the internet and social media, it is debilitating and really terrible. We do have this wanting to be liked, be followed etc. it’s a weird pressure older gen didn’t have, before Instagram took off. To be big online etc. we feel this shame and guilt in real life. it’s really bad. Now everything is so sensitive and careful. I’m always disturbed how now writing books, or publishing and creating art is only see as “worth it” if it makes you a lot of money or a big online following. Making Art should never be about that.
They speak of Lived Experience, they are trying to erase the Lived Experience of Gen X. Tens of millions of us remember what it was like. We had racism on the ropes. We were taught by teachers right after Civil Rights movement. We laughed at racist jokes about others and ourselves but regarded racist people as fools stuck in the horrible past we were lucky to be born after. In the 90s if you were against racism it just meant you were a regular person. Anthrax and Public Enemy onstage together is a great example of the vibe. The dude making the hardcore racist jokes usually got the hint nobody was laughing with him and occasionally he got knocked out. We had tough conversations without worrying about pissing each other. Too much togetherness isn't good for those at the top sticking it to us so Division became the game once again. Politicians been playing that game since forever but Telecommunications Act in 96 made it much easier to control the info. Don't let the TV, tablet, phone, or Teacher make you hate your neighbor. Keep talking and keep thinking, people!!. Chris Forever Young
Also age 46 -- Bret Easton Ellis is probably the best voice for Gen X. I was just telling someone yesterday how profoundly I do not care what other people think of me. The other person was a millennial who seemed very concerned about being liked.
Gen X straddles the analogue and digital eras- we remember and entirely coped with life before the internet and experienced a lot of freedom but also embraced it and were instrumental in its early promise which was to democratise information and connect without barriers. Unfortunately the corporates and the governments stepped in to control and monetise it. And millennials love a bit of authoritarian control….
Lol, the lady asking "but do you like us? what in particular do you like about us?", adding that she'd read the books etc, in such a way that confirms his observations :)) As if he's talking in absolute terms...
Snowflakes 🤷♀️ I was born in 1984 but since I was brought up in a poor environment then I wasn’t spoiled enough to be offended of every single thing. The more you let them BE and try to give them the stuff you didn’t have growing up, the more spoiled they are.
BEE is always on point. However, something you guys always miss is that Gen X have been lazy parents for the most part - letting the Internet educate your children, people in my generation. Don’t be so quick to praise yourselves.
We treat adults like les terrible enfants & children like adults. Public institutions & standards should be geared towards family values. The private sector should be free. Limited government & natural rights.
All teens and 20 year olds think they're smarter than their parents, at least till they start having kids of their own. But they used at least respect their parents, and grandparents. It wasn't until Gen X that you started seeing adults treating kids as if they were smarter than adults - the kind of behavior he describes. And that puts a terrible confusing burden on children, and ultimately makes them very insecure, in fact. Mouthy, but kind of lost.
I'm ignorant about Kanye West because I've never heard any of his music and I don't know anything about him. A lot of people I know would say the same. I'm 44 so maybe it's a generational thing but I really don't know.
Same, couldn't give a crap about Kanye West, haven't heard any of his music, and wonder why this dude is constantly being shoved in my face in the media. Why do I care what some attention-seeking whack job says and thinks about jews? I'm 46 and I love how our generation doesn't give AF. It's what makes us so cool and Millenials and Z's just NOT.
Society was ruined when millennials came along with their woke ideology. If you're a millennial and you're not woke I applaud you for your common sense. Watch Charlie cheon and his videos on RUclips as to why he left the far left movement and wokeism behind. He explains it very well. You can have conservative and liberal views without all of the other nonsense such as cancel culture, virtue signaling, and victim blaming.
I get this inkling of youth exercising patience with older people... like they're waiting for attrition to clear us out of the way. Because we're in the way of something they need to do. And they're so polite they won't tell us.
Man, he is trying sooo hard to make sure he isn't saying anything offensive here. It's sad to see, I want to hear this good author speak his thoughts without fear.
You know as much as we want to blame society for making a vocal minority of millennials the way they are, it’s really a result of their childhood and family life. People don’t become a certain way because they can or want to. It’s simply because something happened to them in their childhood or family life that incentives a certain type of behavior or worldview.
Question is (46-year-old here): why have Gen X parents helped create what we are seeing now? I don’t have kids, so I am certainly missing out on that first-hand knowledge/experience. But we were like he is saying, and the youth I see today have parents my age, and in college. Somehow a narcissism has breached the defenses of far too many Americans that came after Gen X. Why?
my speculation is GenX was the first generation in history that had a massive drop in marriages and having children, and a massive spike in divorces. as having kids becomes less and less common, and more and more costly, parents tend to become overprotective towards them.
One mustn't be a prophet these days to see that materialism, nihilism, dogmatism and censorship turn the whole world into a hopeless, cruel and silly idiocracy. God is the last to be mocked and laughs to all on the way to him. 🍷📜🦍⏳
Ellis is an older member of Gen X or a younger boomer, depending on the timeline, so his perspective is slightly different. Younger Gen X's, however, were raised during the transitional period where things were slowly becoming more kid centered and 'protective'. Unfortunately for us, by the time we reached our 20s in the late 90s and early 00s, the entire cultural landscape had changed, so we only got to experience the tail end of 'Gen X culture', and not from the best vantage point either as we were far too young to really 'get' or meaningfully partake in it. I do miss those times to some degree, but I don't miss the pointless nihilism that was part of the culture.
This idea of labeled "generations" is flawed to start with. There are no generations, there is a continuum, and connections that span the continuum. There are monumental events that put a stamp on a time period & the people in it, but these stamps impress on everyone at the time, not just a youth demographic. If you grew up in the US during the Depression, you may never waste food for the rest of your life, and distrust financiers and Wall St. A serious war, an economic depression, an economic boom, a sea change in technology like electricity or the airplane, these things box in behavior and people's minds conform to that boxing in. That people limit themselves to cliques is not the same as the idea of a generation. Young people do not seem to be aware; they are cowed and herded so that they can be addressed by capitalists more efficiently, this is mistaken for a "generation." What is universal is money and it's pursuit, the selfishness of family, and desire for gain. Everything else is window dressing across the population. In the opening scene of Sid & Nancy, Sid Viscous kicks the hood ornament off the hood of a Rolls Royce. Believe me, the owner was insured and did not give a shit, in fact he was more able to not give a shit about things than either Sid or Johnny.
It's amazing that people are generally very average and waste so much of their time caring about everything else except being better, but actually achive the opposite. Let it go......just ......let it go ...you've enough to think about with yourself.
@@svenjorgensenn8418 What a smart comment. I would have said that was a rather broad, vague point about people in general. But that's what happens when you type before you think, Sven. 🥴
Bret Easton Ellis saying he hates most people is completely Gen X. It was a generation that was defined by what it hated, as opposed to what it liked. For example you couldn't be a "real" punk, unless you hated disco music. And "real" punks hated most other punks, because they were posers. IMO Gen X isn't any better than boomers, millennials, or gen z - in fact they're a disappointment in many (most) ways. BTW I'm Gen X, so of course I'd have this attitude, right?
I’m just here because of the algorithm and never heard of this guy. Born and raised in Canada, fifty yrs old now. From the start of his first answer I can relate to what he’s describing about the subculture post punk, pre-‘grunge’ era, and I think the legacy of punk as a counter cultural phenomenon still had a huge amount of influence as my generation was coming of age. Racism and anti racism was a real part of the political divisions within our community and across the society. And I mention this aspect of it because it led to real violence and real solidarity, as well as ppl being motivated to learn more about the history of neo-nazism in order to be more effective opponents of it. We also rallied around causes like nuclear disarmament, animal rights, greenpeace type activism and social tolerance of gays and lesbians. We were in a sense the socio-agricultural land base of what became political correctness. Best of intentions (for the most part) to live a more responsible set of values in the real world, or create social rules for civil coexistence that were liberal enough to accommodate really diverse politics and lifestyle choices.
