2. Speaking of the '90s, only Gen X'ers (and, OK, some millennials) know how true this is.
Not enough depictions of the '90s convey just how much Snapple people were drinking all of the time
3. We know this was very much a thing too.
Remember there was that month in the '90s when everybody was really into Gregorian chants?
5. This sums up those days pretty well.
The life of a #GenX kid: Wake up and immediately go outside; play with dangerous things in dangerous places. Show up for dinner 14 hours later; parents are surprised to learn you weren’t home. Eat fishsticks alone while watching tv. Read in bed with flashlight.
7. So was figuring out what to watch on TV.
8. And honestly, younger people don't understand us.
You guys can call us Gen Xer's "Karen" if you want but if you understood us at all, it'd be "Heather."
10. If there were ever a photo that was pure instant nostalgia, it's this one — we all had a lunchbox like this (maybe not with Star Wars on it, mine was NASA-themed), and we can all still smell the inside.
12. Or if you didn't do this to your pants?
13. Or if you didn't send away for these incredibly disappointing sea monkeys?
14. Or if you didn't see a trip to Pizza Hut as LIVING.
Is it purely a Gen X/older millennial thing to fondly remember when you would go to the sit down Pizza Hut as a special treat?
15. A reality of being a Gen X'er these days is that it's way too easy to find something that makes you feel old.
Former MTV VJ Kurt Loder turns 75-years-old today. How old do you feel right now?
16. Like, WAY too easy.
Some days I remember that Winona Ryder, the dark princess of Gen X, the coolest of the cool, is known among many younger folks as "the mom from Stranger Things".
17. Yes, we're starting to feel OLD, lol.
I'm not going to look up why "Gen X" is trending I'll just assume it's because we died
18. And maybe losing track of time a little.
2000 was 20 years ago which is really weird because 1980 was also 20 years ago
19. But it's OK, because old or not, in the end, we know the answer to this question.
Which generation is the best and why is it Gen X?
