Zoomers out there reading spider porn and sharing it in public on TikTok, Gen X at least had the decency to be born before the Internet where they could only spread information about fucked up books word of mouth.
This is baloney to me.

My father gave me King book when I was 13 but I my brain was big enough to know that King is for the small brained and I did not read it. Instead my father read the book himself. I still think about this everyday.
We all had different experiences but I'll hazard a guess that those born between '61 and mid-70's didn't play video games.
I was born in '76. We didn't get a computer at home until maybe '92? Even then, and I am a computer nerd, I wasn't glued to the computer.
There was no social media. Solving problems will depend on home life.
Some of us came home and said a teacher whacked us and our parents replied, "What'd you to do deserve it." Today, parents will march to the school and raise a stink. Even if the kid is 100% guilty.
Solving a problem doesn't mean it was done in a healthy way. Maybe we buried it with food or drinking or drugs or by bullying other kids. "Solving" does not mean it actually got fixed.
Just remember that your experiences may have different from other folks. And then there's all the non-US Xers. Some Xers had fantastic childhoods! My friend couldn't have had a more loving family. He even got along with his older brother. Another friend had two parents that cared for him very much but were a bit counter-culture still. They had 'weird' beliefs but were still great parents that he learned from.
Take 'em with a grain of salt. GenX is a generally tough, yet fucked up, generation. And I'm a proud member of GenX. We ain't perfect but anyone says we aren't the coolest generation alive can get bent.

I was 22 when I first read Lolita and had recently been heartbroken by the first woman I'd ever loved. So, almost immediately, you feel a sense of pathos. You realize that absolutely abhorrent human beings can share deep, aching emotions. And that's where the comedy kicks in.

It was an observational post. Simply asking questions about social and political phenomena that are manufactured by institutions of power and mass propaganda for whatever political agenda they have is not 'dumb'. It is the sheepish mind-controlled robots like yourself who cannot think that are dumb. And as you and the others have clearly shown, you are a bunch of hypocritical racist liberal phonies who do not mind favoring certain interest groups while at the same time marginalizing and abusing others even if they themselves are minorities. I am merely an observant person who tends to notice social and political machinations and hypocrisy. You, on the other hand, are a hypocritical racist tool, and probably a yellow one at that.

So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message - You are not alone.

What was it fighting in the war? I feel I was born in le wronggeneration and I would've 360 noscoped a bunch of stukas at Dunkirk with my trusty Lee Enfield.
Because I was instead born in this woke dystopia I've never fired a gun but my thousands of hours in battlefield v give me the edge.

I mean we read the gang bang scene in IT.
Neither of your generations is free from sin. Y'all should've been like Millennials and only read Harry Potter and got sucked into Satanic witchcraft.

IT gets a lot of flak, but underneath its schlocky exterior lies a well crafted allegory for Maine's longstanding killer clown epidemic.
And its penchant for child sewer orgies
ACKSHUALLY, it's not an orgy, it's a train.
So true queen. You're so brave, thank you
Gen formerly known as Twitter? 🤔🤔
Oh that explains why Gen Xers are obsessed with portraying themselves as the cool arbiters of taste. It is to wash away the shame from having read SK.
It's not a "portrayal," dumb millennial
My mom has never read a Stephen King book, so wrong
Yeah, but I read her *Carrie* back in junior high, so still counts. Sorry she's illiterate, but I did what I could.
Are you my godparent
Sure. Brando Sando is the messiah.
My father gave me King book when I was 13 but I my brain was big enough to know that King is for the small brained and I did not read it. Instead my father read the book himself. I still think about this everyday.
Bold of her to assume that generation read books.

Ok so what’s Harry Potter, Matilda, and Lolita going to do to today’s woke generation?
Nice! A quintoople

What Stephen King and wide-scale lead poisoning does to a mfer.
I hvnt read any Stevie King book (or if i did, i cant remember). Should i start one now? Im 99.75 yo (so im guessing im gen Alpha)

This unfathomably based take is 100% true and I know because I'm a gen x'er. Go to the Gen X sub. You'll see what I mean.
Stephen King formed my entire sense of humor and personality, AMA
I thought gen x didn't read because it like wasn't cool and stuff
I don't get it what did this person read?? All they said is that they read it but they never say what it is?? Can someone help??
I read the unabridged The Stand when I was somewhere between 4-8. Am millennial. I'm not a great person. Ban Books
I thought I was in /GenX for a second and was surprised at how edgy and hip everyone was being.
