In this week's video, I address the feathers I ruffled with last week's video. I make no apologies, I just address it. Also, I discuss the sad beige TikTokers taking all the color out of Halloween and everything else. I got the idea after watching a Haylo Hayley video, a video of which I showed a few clips. I will link it below so you can watch her for yourself. She's quite witty (and loud), so...

I don't care lol. They should just wait until it's their time to be the generation we are in... it's bound to happen that their descendants will find faults with them... they are lucky we don't care enough to go Boomer on them... and I take some responsibility on why the generation we gave birth too are as weak as they are! lol..

    As a Gen X I will testify the main reason I don't care is cuz I was not only forgotten, told to don't bother the Boomers (which I call the Me Me ME generation) but somehow Millenials were allowed to scream as if they were being murdered (I didn't allow MY kids to do that but so many of my fellow GXers did which is insane to me - my kids were allowed to speak etc but always told them NOT to scream like that unless they were being kidnapped, on fire, or being murdered). Now kids have no problem walking into YOUR garage, asking to ride scooters, ask for lighters, basically scoping your place out - so the Millenials failed by not teaching their kids about property rights...just another reason for GXers to not care!

    As far as this notion of 'letting us off the hook'. I don't know what that's referring to, unless maybe the griping about the 'Boomers' and maybe somebody posed the question "aren't those guys just as bad?". Well I have found that for the most part, in my experience, everyone after us were only taught of the 'Boomers' and themselves. Most of them have never heard of Gen X and think we are all Boomers. I'm not sure Gen Z even knows of the Millennials. They have been the most manipulated and indoctrinated generation ever and taught nothing but globalist, leftist, propaganda all their lives. There is another element that I think plays into this, perhaps. Unlike the Boomers before us, that were a noisy and obnoxious generation of self important activists that have received enormous attention for their contributions to the culture and history, WE have been the opposite not really attracting attention to ourselves and preferring a more stealthy grey man profile. Most of us don't think we are something special or that others should care about our opinions. We don't expect others to care about our opinions and largely because we often don't care much about others' opinions either. It's not about being rude or disrespectful. It's about a humbleness of not thinking others should care or make a big deal over anything we think or do. Everyone's got an opinion, and none are more or less valuable than our own. We are a bit like another silent generation.

  • @WhoWouldWantThisName

    Honestly I don't really relate to much of this talk I am hearing now about us. Why is anyone suggesting we 'don't care'? Care about what? We care about the same stuff every other generation has, except the generations AFTER us. I see us as mostly very similar to generations before us. The only difference is the divide after our generation. There's the world up until the Millennials and the world of them and beyond. Or I could simply state it as pre and post 21st century. We aren't that much different from everybody before us, but after us? Yeah I can't relate to these guys at all.

    • @Gen_X_Rosey

      Care about ANYTHING. About what's going on in the world today. What people might think or say about us? How people might feel about us. They don't think we care about much of anything. What I was trying to get across is that our generation has seen too much and the system was set up to fail, and since nobody listened to us when we were coming up and trying to tell them how to make things better, we just slipped into the shadows and decided to live our lives the best we could in a failing world.

    That white baby's room with the security camera above the crib is so dystopian. Imagine the baby who grows up seeing that soulless black sphere more than mama's face, a stuffed animal, or their favorite toy. Colors are so important for learning and development for kids under 12. That colorless nursery mobile in the lower left isn't likely to engage the curiosity of a baby. A child's room, or festive holiday decorations, shouldn't be done in neutral office colors.

If you're referring to the Xers on TikTok who like to do the "We are not the same" videos or show Zoomers trying to use Gen X (or in some cases Boomer) era stuff and not knowing what to do with it - basically to try presenting you as incompetent, then I have to agree. I have made a video or two where I actually have called out Gen X (yep, I call out my generation) for making fun of their own kids. So, you're right, kids usually follow the example of the people who raised them. In this case, younger Boomers, Gen X, Xennials, and a few Millennials.

    most of gen x were grown up by age 10. yes, Gen X have seen more combat than our parents and grand parents. the early X were old enough to help in the persian gulf crisis escorting tankers to the panama invasion, gulf 1, somalia, gulf 2 afghanistan, syria, serbia. Don't trust the government or corporations. Most of us want to be left alone.

    We didn't. Much like we did with our Boomer parents and technology, we were dragged in kicking and screaming. But now that we were brought into the fight, we fight Gen X style. With relentless mockery in an online world because assault charges would be brought if we rolled up.

    Snowflakes today would buckle at our lifestyle 40 to 50 years ago. We were built and raised differently. We tried to give our kids everything we didn't have. It turned our kids into ungrateful brats.

      True. Thankfully, my two aren't ungrateful because they weren't raised too terribly different than I was. My two kids are Gen-Z's with the heart of Xers. My oldest has even said, " I was born in the wrong decade!" Because of that, they think a lot of what people of their generation and the younger generation (Gen Alpha) do or say is ridiculous. Sure, they agree with some of it, as do I. But a lot of times, we're rolling our eyes and shaking our heads.

    Such a great video Rosey. We really have been through a ton of stuff while growing up. We got to experience the Berlin wall being torn down, the Statue of Liberty disappear by magician David Copperfield, and the many music festivals like the US festival, Live Aid, and Farm Aid for example. For the very first time in our lives we FINALLY get to relax a bit and enjoy those little things that we missed out on while growing up. If GenZ has a problem with that then Oh well. We deserve our peace finally so I say we enjoy every second of it while we can.

    Wait, what? We are talking about Gen X here, right? In those days, what would make teachers think of sniffing students' water bottles or asking what was in them? One of my junior high school English teachers was high every day. We actually didn't carry water bottles, though...And, "What kind of parents did you have that they didn't notice that their vodka took missing? How did you get the vodka?" I believe there are enough videos that discuss the type of parenting that Gen Xers experienced. I was "raised" by a single alcoholic father who didn't notice when alcohol came up missing. Moreover, friends had older siblings who could buy alcohol...

      Well, I guess we had different parents because a lot of the parents I knew noticed stuff like that. Now, I do know some parents didn't "take care" of their kids. My mom worked too, and I was a latchkey off and on. But she did notice the things I did and was kind of strict. Not ALL Boomer parents were neglectful or passive with their kids. As for the schooling, they were pretty strict at the schools here too. Kids DID get thrown out of school for underage drinking and got in trouble with their parents too. So, yeah, bottles were checked if they were allowed in the classroom at all. Let's not forget, I don't know you, I don't know your parents, and I didn't go to your school. So, I guess not all Gen-X is created equal. And I didn't even get into cultural differences. I'm assuming you're of a different race than myself? You can ask any black person and they will tell you that there were certain things a white child could get away with that black children couldn't. Anything from talking back to and cursing in front of their parents to, sometimes being able to steal alcohol from their parents (at least, my best friend at the time could). So, while we experienced a lot of things the same, there were also some things that were done differently.

      @@Gen_X_Rosey My parents were Silent Generation, born March 6 and March 12, 1926. I have Boomer brothers. I am an early Gen Xer from Northeast Ohio, and in the early to mid 1980s, we didn't bring bottles or anything to drink to school. Thermoses were for soup. Most of us packed a sandwich and drank from the water fountains. Bottled water wasn't a thing in Cleveland until decades later. So we didn't actually try to sneak anything into school in bottles, which I suppose is why I can't imagine teachers checking them. I absolutely understand about the cultural differences. I am white, but for 13 of my young adult years, I was more or less a part of black culture regarding the neighborhoods I lived in, who I worked with, and who I dated/lived with. While I agree with you that, in general, black parents were stricter with kids, we certainly couldn't talk back to or curse in front of our parents, either, because all of my friends' parents were Silent Generation, and they didn't play that at all. They were our parents, not our friends. I think there are some differences between the experiences of early Gen Xers and later Xers as well as the cultural differences that you mentioned. Bullying Gen Z because they don't drink like we did is as bad as the bullies we knew, who discouraged kids from studying, because they would mock us and call us a "brain." I agree with you that it's terrible.

      @@jennieoconnor5695 Thank you for your Insight, I appreciate that. Your parents were only one year younger than my maternal grandma. My parents were teens when they had me and were junior Boomers". I'm a Bicentennial Xer, close to being a Xennial. My high school best friend at the time used to cuss around her parents, and they didn't really care. I was scandalized because my cousins and I would have gotten smacked in the mouth or spanked! Even saying the word "lie" around our parents was no-no! She also got into a fist fight one morning with her mom (and bragged about it) because she didn't want to go to school. When I got to school, her mom drove up with her in the front seat. She got out, stopped to talk to me for a second and said, "I have to take this note up to the office. I'm quittin' school!" I was, again, scandalized! She figured that she "...won the fight." What I figured, all these years later, was that her mom got tired of arguing and fighting with her bull-headed daughter! The girl whined and argued until her mom gave in and she got her way. Poor woman hardly got any peace at all!" So, I just saw a huge cultural difference in how she was raised as opposed to how I was.

Ques what we did not have cellphones when we grow up. World wide web was launched in 1994 bedore that it was on military use only. So do your backround researche.

It's like they don't want to understand that the music video is not an accurate representation of that song as far as the true meaning behind it. They act as if he and that 16-year-old girl had an affair when it was HIM who told his writing partner "She's just 16 years old. Leave her alone." Those were his words to someone else!
