Generation X
Born between 1961 and 1981, we are Generation X - the original latchkey kids, the feral generation that came of age without cellphones, internet, or helicopter parenting. By 16, we had the life experience of 30-year-olds, and that gritty wisdom still defines us today.
We grew up under the looming threat of nuclear annihilation. "The Day After" was our introduction to the fragility of our world. Yet, we also witnessed momentous change: the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the dawn of a new era of peace and possibility.
We saw the excesses and failures of the Boomer generation, but we charted our own path. We reject their ideals and march to the beat of our own drum. Apathy is our armor, authenticity our creed.
We are the generation of grunge and metal, of raves and vaporwave. Plaid shirts and ironic detachment are our trademarks. We're tech-savvy, resourceful, and fiercely independent.
This sub welcomes GenXers from all corners of the globe to share links, photos, graphics, memoirs, memes, commentaries, and stories that capture our unique journey and outlook. Whether you experienced the Cold War from the US, UK, Soviet Union, or anywhere in between - if you identify with the GenX ethos, this is your tribe. Let's celebrate our shared experiences, historic milestones, and irreverent spirit that set us apart from any other generation.

This isn't a comedy at all. It's serious sci-fi at a point where Robin Williams wanted to be taken seriously like One Hour Photo. YouTube a trailer for it and see if it sounds interesting. I haven't seen it in like 15 years, so it's a little fuzzy in my head.
Like I said, it's not the best movie ever because it seems like this technology that's ubiquitous is still incredibly controversial, which seems strange for something that's clearly been around for a few generations. But it definitely touches on the subject you're taking about.
