Loved my trapper keepers.
Highlight of middle school, picking out a new one.

No one else brought them to school, which probably made me look like the nerd, but I didn’t care. I was too busy drawing dungeons and fantasy maps all period to notice what the Jordache Jeans and Members Only crowd thought.

... which would lead to me enrolling in both boxing and Tae Kwon Do not much later.

The Millennial's just call anybody who is older than them the Boomers, but that's what it is to be Generation X, we're the Lost Generation, we don't exist, it's all about the Boomers and their Echo Boomer spawn fighting it out in the basement, Generation X just goes about our business, invisible, same as it ever was.

The chicks had their pegasus trapper keepers. I usually went with transformers or something like that, if not a plain color.

Trapper keepers are the shit.

And of course, when all our little brothers and sisters were being born in the 80's, when we were in high school, we saw them being pampered, helicopter parented, and promised a bed of roses, little participation trophies all around for the precious dearies, so we knew right away, that this is how they were going to turn out, when they got the bad news, and all through the nineties, we tried to warn them, but they wouldn't listen, they were all going to be CEO's back then, lol.

The Baby Boom did last twenty years, none the less, my mother is a Baby Boomer, and I'm not in the same generation as her, she's Woodstock, I'm Lollapalooza.

I remember us watching the boomers raise these hellspawn back in the 90s, and even back then when it was happening, we all knew this wasn't going to turn out well. The feeling I had back then was like a fraction of how I feel about these children now being raised by millennial single mothers. The next iteration is going to be just fucking awful.

Gen X's children are actually pretty cool, though. Most conservative generation in a century.

[Speaker to Animals]

The people most to blame are the boomers themselves. Millennials to a great extent never had a chance based on how they were raised, and the children they breed with their baby mammas are basically going to be the same type of thing we see in black inner city communities today.

I just took conservatism all the way to avoiding having children altogether, luckily for me I found a GenX wife who was also down with that, the only way to conserve, is to avoid being a parent, because once you're a parent, they got you, they got you by the balls then, children are simply ransom, which will force you to dance to their tune.

My Lost Generation War Baby father gave me the heads up on that, but being a Latchkey Kid Xer from a broken home, I didn't need much convincing.

You're not wrong about this.
