I, too, was once a Generation X guest, unwanted and despised by the world. My posts didn't get approved either.
But then I buttered MO up like an English muffin. Lord, I was lovey-dovey. I made her forget why she forbade me to register. Now I'm living it up like George and Weezy on this here e-biz board.
Sucks to be you.
Dev is roleplaying as a Gen X'er when she's really a fricken zoomer!!!
Crafty biatch.
"Zoomer." Is that what they're calling the latest pack of assholes now?
We called you lot Generation Y for awhile until someone came up with the Millennial label.

You narrowly missed being just another in a sequence of lettered generations.
Millennial is actually a rather choice label for a generation. From the mid 1950s through the end of the 20th century, the coming turn of the century evoked fantasies of a fabulous high-tech society with flying cars and hoverboards. Sort of like this:
The dream was a far cry from the shit sandwich we ended up getting.
But yeah, "Millennial" is a right glamorous name for a generation, all told. Definitely nothing to be ashamed of there.
Pepsi did a "Generation Next" ad campaign in 1997 that I think was targeted at Millennials. That may have been a little before they started calling you Millennials. So you narrowly missed being named after a Pepsi slogan too. Lucky bastards.
Generation Z will be the last lettered generation, for obvious reasons, unless someone comes up with a catchy label for them too.
I'm kind of thinking Billy Idol's band named Generation X was around long before they started calling us that. I don't remember it being applied to my generation before the late 1980s.
I went to WalMart after I posted this thread and saw a rack full of T-shirts with my high school's name and mascot on them.
Yeah, I totally got me a Texas orange Northwood Falcons shirt, bitches.
Totally.
Senior year, the teachers at Northwood got an inferiority complex about being out in the sticks between Shreveport and Blanchard, a sort of no man's land, and decided to make sure everyone knew we were from the big town by putting "Northwood Shreveport" on our class ring instead of "Northwood High."
We thought it was a fucktarded idea. We wanted a normal high school ring like all of the other classes.
It proved prophetic though, as that area is now part of Shreveport. The WalMart is a couple of blocks away from the school. When I graduated, there was hardly anything there except a Dairy Queen, a tiny butcher shop and grocery store that had awesome steaks, and a new bank branch office.
This guy fucking nailed it regarding interpersonal communication skills.
Before the Internet and cellphones, you had to be able to talk to people. Face to face. In real life.
Any people. Even unattractive people.
You didn't get to completely ignore someone when they said hello to you.
You didn't get to pick and choose who you would talk to based on what clique they were in, or whether or not you'd fuck them.
If a dirty old man (or any man) propositioned a young woman, she graciously declined. Most girls had a sense of humor about it. They thought it was cute and funny for an old man to be hitting on them. They didn't lose their shit over it.
The only people who had Bitch Resting Face were bitter old farts who knew they'd fucked up along the way and it was too late to turn their shitty lives around.
I'm not blaming Millennials for their lack of social skills because it was their dumbfuck Generation X parents who decided it would be a good idea to shove a goddamned iPhone in their hands at age two.

The rationale was that getting kids started on computers at a tender young age would give them an advantage in academia and the job market.
Utter nonsense.
A 12-year-old, having never seen a smaht phone before, can learn to use one in a matter of days, and be as competent a user as the kid who got hooked on one when he was still soiling his Huggies.
I'm gonna have to ding Generation X for a lot of their parenting decisions.
Frankly, it's baffling to me that a generation who had so much freedom and independence as children would go on to instill all of these little neurotic fears into their own young'uns, and try to shield them from any unpleasant experience they might have.
Bicycle helmets? Get the fuck out of here.
Sixteen vaccines before they're 18 months old? Really, man?
No wonder they're crying about "muh safe space" 20 years on.
I mean even white suburban kids had a fair amount of street smarts. Why would they not want to pass it on to the fruit of their loins?

This is a great point...
It's really very sad.
And so much worse with the kids of today, God only knows how many shots they give them now.

In another video, she says she's a former homecoming queen who has no friends.
How does the homecoming queen not have any friends? At least one person, and probably more, must've liked her if they made her homecoming queen.
How does that level of popularity not engender at least one friendship?
What the actual fuck?
Other YouTubers have made videos to explain why she has no friends, but I'm not going to watch or post any of them.
The answer is pretty obvious.
She's aloof. She says people think she's a snob. Well, guess what. Being aloof gives people that impression.
She's humorless. An old fart flirting with her sends her into total meltdown. God only knows what she's been taught about men. Did she buy into that "rape culture" horseshit that was going around a few years ago? Probably.
She has no social skills. One commentor said she seems to be on the autistic spectrum, which sounds plausible.
Shit, back in the day snobby girls had other snobby girls as friends. They even made movies about snobby girl cliques.
