I grew up in the '80s and '90s, and life back then was… simpler. Technology didn't rule every aspect of our existence, and social media was just a sci-fi dream. Gen Z on the other hand… Well, they're practically being raised by their smartphones. I definitely admire their spirit to talk back, stand up for themselves, and change social norms, but they're also showing serious signs of communication issues, are overly sensitive, and have the attention span of a goldfish. Plus, they document everyt…

Gen X , these memes are just for you. You're in the baby bust generation, sometimes called the MTV generation , of people who were born between the years of 1965-1980. Your boomer parents probably raised you to be independent and take care of yourself in life, allowing you to spend all day outside with your friends.

The writer claims that the SIL finds basically all her hobbies and inspirations from the app. And what are these trends that have the OP so upset? Well, her SIL is doin…

Our golden years

Oh yeah.

The light inside the car is NOT illegal to turn on. If you eat a watermelon seed you will NOT grow a watermelon in your stomach. Kids will believe anything!

Everybody's family is a little weird in some way , but as a kid, you don't know any better. This leads to most of us having an awkward moment later on with friends; it turns out everyone else's parents created weird little falsehoods that only they've ever heard of, too. Whether it's pronunciations, explanations for the amount of random kids who stayed with your family, or simply the financial situations between private and public school families, people perceive the world in their own little w…

Marriage isn't for everyone.

Yipee.

A nice trip down memory lane.

Seriously, come on Hollywood.

These are far out.

Adulting can be quite the challenge.
