@@pauljoyner4338 most said explicit lyrics but there were a few that had "MUST BE 18+TO BUY" on the cover and as a kid, that was far more attractive than the explicit lyrics warning. I do however find it amusing that they never put any warnings up in the playgrounds at parks or schools in the 80s/90s instead they ruined them by replacing them with "modern" equipment, which if I had been little when they put them in, I'd still be doing the things that shouldn't have been done such as climbing to the highest point of a structure and jumping off (sometimes onto a friend running past). There's even one park in West Los Angeles near Westwood Village that when I was a kid had the best thing to play on. It was an art sculpture that was actually donated by the artist for kids to play on and designed to look like an artificial rock sculpture that had 2-3 slides from the way it was designed. Later on someone had it gated off so kids couldn't play on it and a sign saying at the request of the artist who donated it. Yet they left the plaque that stated it was intended to be played on.
@@dontfit6380 no but we did eat/drink a number of other things. I remember in school during the 80s there was a constant push by elementary school teachers telling kids to mind the warning labels especially the ones with the skull and crossbones.

IMHO many of us Gen Xers have no ability for a software system upgrade and no auto updates, so I’m stuck with only M/F options and she/he too. There is nothing my poor literal neurodivergent Gen X brain can do than offend younger gen’s and absolutely not care about their feelings. I’m hard wired.
As a boomer I recognize that we played our part and helped set you up to continue the fine work. We did do a few things I don't hear GenXers talk about, but that may be for the best. Some might suggest (with good reason) that water fights outside in the Montana winter were a bit extreme. (Having a hose shooting out of a basement window was like having a machine gun in a pillbox.) But we learned that some things shouldn't be repeated in the future. And I'm proud to note that GenXers with their own creative minds, have found other interesting "social experiments" to foist on other unsuspecting neighbors.
We were the latch key generation! That is until we lost our keys & then we were locked out of our homes after school until our parents got out of work. We then had to work our butts off doing extra chores to prove that we could be trusted with another house key again. This was extremely important because we had some really great shows that came on TV between 3-5pm. And we didn't have DVR & we weren't allowed to use the VHS tapes for our shows 😅 Ahh, the good old days 😂😂😂
ah those times. couldn't text your friends so you hopped on your bike and looked for the big pile of bikes at someone's house. Didn't need mom to text "time to come home", the street lights came on, time to hat up.
Yep. I had 3 broken bones, many stitches, and ingested poison resulting in a 10 day coma, all before I was 9. However, my boomer siblings contributed to most of it. .... idk, I'm still here. haHA!
We added the warning labels.Anyone else remember being sent home from school with Mr. Yuck stickers to stick on everything we could find that was poisonous?😂
And the stickers to put in our bedroom windows so the firemen knew which room was ours, in case our house caught on fire! (In hind sight, maybe not best to advertise where your children sleep) 😂😂
That was the best motivational speach I've heard in days. Thank you good sir. For this one will stick for hopefully more then a few weeks. Bless your good soul!
Millennian here. Pretty much grew up the old way. Got called home for dinner etc, otherwise went by the streetlight time, no warning labels anywhere, playgrounds was deathtraps and if you got hurt you simply did it again. I agree with three genders, he/she/them (ladyboys)
I’m a babyboomer and a Marine Corps Vietnam era veteran. I’m also the son of a WW2 and Korean War Army veteran who served in theater both times! I also have at least one ancestor that fought in the revolutionary war!
It's scary just how true every word is. Although, I wouldn't change it for the world. I just wish that we lived in the world that was safe enough for kids to play outside the way that we did. These days it just isn't.
@@madtabby66 it isn't as safe over here in Texas. A lot of our kids over here are being picked up and are being trafficked. We see it all too often here.
Thanks, while i'm not a Gen-Xer either, I can also respect and admire you guys for surviving those times. The people I love are those who are survivors. So thank you for being inspirations.
I was born in that transitional period between genX and millennial. At best I’m a xennial. However I’m one of the youngest in a large family and my parents were members of the silent generation. That’s why I consider myself a genXer, and no amount of arguing dates will convince me otherwise.
Doing my part as a genxer. Joined the navy, did dumb crap, inhaled god knows what, will likely kick off long before my time reducing my burden on healthcare and pension funds, leaving money behind for the next generation.
Without GenX, many dangerous activities would still be legal today, and there wouldn't be as many warning labels. We suffered and lost friends and relatives to build awareness so that later generations could be protected.
GenX gave us warning labels. So very true. They are why we need to put a warning on car windshield sunscreens that say "Remove before driving" and on the Prep H box that says "Do not take orally." And we thank you.
I definitely fall under a xennial. Too close to fall completely under millennial but too young to be gen x. Still know what it's like to be feral and ran around the neighborhood unsupervised. With the tech savvy of a millennial 😊
Technically I'm gen X and my siblings are millennial but all grew up the same so if by technicality your not gen X and just caught on the coattails of the insanity don't worry about it.
If you are not a GeneXer and REALLY REALLY want to try and become one, let me suggest you find a GeneXer of the opposite sex ( same sex, different dangly bits, cousin's sister's brother's room-mate twice removed also works ) and attempt to become a GeneXer by injection. It might take some work but if you put the effort into it, it just might work for you.
So. As normal I do find your daily work amazing.. butt (and I love Gen Z butts!)... I do find it hard sometimes to relate to my college age dates takes on things... Can you please relay in smart US Navy manner I came home to find, dear Sir? 1. When did USA change to everyone else EXCEPT USA Citizens, sir? 2. When did females start thinking that their cheating was ok? Bonus if you can determine where this is equitable, Sir! 3. I thought we had a whole Civil Rights thingy b4 I was born... why do modern women only want 'toxic masculine' but claim they want a 'good guy'? 4. When did my beloved and coveted lipstick lesbian and bisexuality women start thinking anything butt ffm isn't gay sex with a witness??? Please, sir! I don't understand.

I think we should take the warning labels off everything and let nature take its course. 😂🤣👍🤣👍
Here here
I still miss the 70's era yard darts (aka "Jarts") my brother and I had as Gen X kids. We would take turns playing 'catch' with them.
😊
That's one game you couldn't afford to lose 😂
hehe, I have a set of Jarts. ;)
Technically we didn't create the warning labels, we caused the reason why they were created
And Parental Warnings for language on tapes 1st and then CD's. That just made us buy it.

Ever time I watch your videos it reminds me of the good old days!
We still need time to convert old shopping malls into Gen X retirement homes.
😂
I'm gen x and that's funny. Good one
Realizing you are too young to be a GenXer can prompt a panic attack (because you are a Millennial). LOL
Or a mineral...lmbo
This is why I claim the Xennial label. Not quite old enough to be Gen X, but definitely not young enough to be a Millennial.

As a baby boomer myself I would like to say that there may be hope for Gen X yet. Keep up the good work.
I believe they called us hopeful cynics when we graduated high school, now we've just dropped the hopeful part!
I've just had the epiphany of understanding that the X in GenX is probably a symbol of all the stitches we got.

Welcome to the darkside😂
Nah there's still plenty of boomers around the oldest would be 79 youngest 60.
I was born in 62 but I feel more like a genx than a boomer.
Same. Definitely relate more to GenX so I call myself a Xoomer.
We may have reached the breaking point. :(
