Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.
Which is cool, I guess, whatever.

Fuck it dude, let’s go bowling.
The rug I had it really tied the room together.
My first thought when I saw this was that this looked like some Facebook boomer shitposting from like 10-15 years ago, but with kinda recent slang and image subbed in. I'm sure some gen x would unironically be all in on this, but it's the small percentage of them that are basically just boomers who time traveled. They're the same people who still like old westerns and rant about how nobody has common sense anymore, which if you think about for more than 5 seconds reveals that whatever they think is common sense must not be "common" sense at all, actually, and perhaps the current "common sense" is stuff that they never learned, like how to clear the cache for a phone app that's acting up.
Exactly
The "Gen X Rise Up" filter on TikTok showed that a few definitely cared. It died pretty quickly, though.
Yeah? Cool.
I'm a Millennial and I'm happy to report I've appropriated "skibidi". I really, really enjoy watching younger people die a little inside every time I use it.
Does that make me a dad even if I don't have any kids?
Every generation had slang, I see no issues with this
Yeah I agree. I did see an article talking about how it’s changing a lot more rapidly than other generations, so I think we’ll see a lot more variation in the slang.
I don't think that's true. There's a great video here that highlights the fact that even a lot of modern slang is far older than you think.
Ok xoomer
Gen X is least likely to do this, if you buy into the idea of generations.
This is literally the "Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong." Meme

Rule number one: the kids are alright.
they aren't though. -me, an inside agent.
The kids are fine. Settle down
As a millennial I just want the next generations to think I'm nice and cool.
Same. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't take much more than trying to stop the broken world we inherited from breaking further and encouraging them to explore passions even when we don't understand them. That's the level of respect we yearned for and never got, so let's just try to be who we wanted boomers and gen x to be and I think we'll all be okay. Ideally we could fix what's broken, but it always takes longer to clean up a mess than to make one. We just need to be willing to plant trees whose shades we'll never enjoy.
I like the youth and their curious ways

I believe that is the desired effect
I never expected to see 100% brainrot, but here we are.
What?
"I swear, i had to do a Livestream on tiktok to show off my clothes, show off my style, and increase my charisma while listening to "skibidi" when my stunning girlfriend came by and we were ...! Im not lying!" (actually that "gyatt" doesn't really make sense in this context so i don't know how to translate, mybe they were getting down? Idk.)
Thanks for the translation.
Indeed, I'm feeling lazy and need a non-ai translator please... ?
Well lucky for you that i just postet a translation in this thread
I am in school and this shit is why we hate younger children.
