We're always up for a generational roast off—just not with Gen X, please…

  • Listen, we're all for the different generations battling it out. It's usually more humorous than detrimental. Or maybe that's just the traumatized millennial in me speaking—us millennials are used to getting bad-mouthed and we now, in fact, just think it's funny. Either way, we know not to poke the hibernating bear that is Gen X. Turns out Gen Z still needs to learn that lesson…

    Recently a Gen Zer took to TikTok to call Gen X as the “worst” generation. However, it wasn't Gen X that started coming after her, it was a millennial. He even listed 6 different causes you would most definitely want a Gen Xers help in. Maybe it's because Gen X was our older siblings and sometimes the actual parent in the household that millennials feel sort of protective of the generation, but mostly it's because we know their wrath. They aren't like the Boomers who are too antiquated to take seriously at this point. They were with us when the internet started to take over and they were older, so they went straight for the scary stuff… Anyways, see what this millennial had to say in Gen X's defense.

    robhomecook Rob Home Cook | Orlando. Millennial here. And as an elder, I'd love to give Gen Z a little tiny piece of advice. You can screw with boomers. They might not even find your video. You can screw with millennials. We're too burnt out and tired to really care anymore. And you can mouth off to Gen Alpha because they're children. What the heck are they gonna do? But under no circumstances do you ***k with Gen X. Think of them like a hibernating bear. We tested the waters with them in the 20

  • SIX WAYS TO WAKE UP GEN X FROM HIBERNATION:
    by @robhomecook

    1. More information comes out on the de@ths of Kurt Cobain, Tupac Shakur, and/or Biggie Smalls. 
    2. They change the formula of Coca-Cola (again)
    3. If you have locked yourself out. (The latch-key generation knows how to break back into their own home.)
    4. If ANYTHING happens to Kurt Loder. 
    5. If they discontinue any of these three scents: Calvin Klein Obsession, Clinique Happy, or Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon.
    6. If anyone from Columbia House starts sniffing around and asking questions. (Snitches get stitches)
