The 80s Called: Memes and Tweets That Perfectly Sum Up What it Means To Be a Gen Xer

We may never fully understand the struggles that previous generations have gone through, but the best we can do is listen and try to learn from those older and wiser than us. This meme is a playful take on that concept as the creator tries to share a few of the reasons why Generation X can seem damaged at times.

Whether watching a Steven King horror film or a live snake biting a professional wrestler on live TV, Gen X has seen and been through a lot, at least when it comes to their entertainment options. Fortunately, since much of that media is still available, younger generations stand some chance of gaining greater insight into the Gen X psyche.
