He’s so uncultured, when you say Swiftie, he thinks you’re talking about Jonathan Swift. Whoever he was. (Or: Fuck I’m old) (programming.dev)

No, clearly I ain’t got no culture.

The boomers would probably get that one better, but I doubt there’s any kind of boomer community.

Seriously, I saw the word and was thinking they enjoy old literature.

GenX is framed by two loud and constantly complaining generations. They enforce the meh. (reddthat.com)

Pretty sure we had the E9112 and E9116 back in the day. Now I have a legit B92FS but it doesn't squirt water. For work reasons.

Ah, nostalgia. (Don't play with guns!)

Be honest now, how many of you all sound like your parents when you were a kid? (lemmy.world)

As I've gotten older, I find myself doing the old ughs and groan while getting off the couch or say things to my kids that my parents told me. I also truly appreciate the coveted chair or spot on the couch which is "Dad's Spot!"

Everyone's favorite Gen X edgelord teenager finally gave our generation the visibility it deserves. We now have our very own branded shitty alt-right social media space.

While being feral had its own pitfalls, I think most of us ended up with life coping skills they the generations after us seem to be lacking.
