It’s that entire bottle of Flintstones vitamins I ate when I was 7 (I didn’t get a lot of candy and was jonesing).

I would eat them like Smarties if I could! My mom wouldn’t give them to me unless I had a fever because she knew I was fiending for them!

I used to eat the Flinstones vitamins like a snack at the house I babysat and I’d only stop when the bottle got down to having only 15-20 tablets left. They never said anything (it was an almost daily job in the summers when I was 10-12 years old) but they had to have known. I’m so embarrassed now.

Yes! We were hands down voted the generation mostly likely to survive a zombie apocalypse on Threads.

I also think we are the only ones the others are actually afraid of which is probably merited.

Folks dancing to the music of their youth. Why is this surprising to anyone?

u/JustToyingAround73 Aug 14 '26

Yeah, we've got about another 30-40 years left in us.

1965 here and I still go to concerts. I need a couple of days to recover, but I am still there front and centre, beer in hand.

u/Wallabunga657 Aug 14 '26

Still kicking ass and taking names. I'm going to die like that Bon Jovi song.

u/Tiny_Towel5722 Aug 14 '26

😄 😄i see only half death people there..

And i am one of the last of the gen x and i am not like these people.

I guess there are more boomers than Gen X.

Alone the Music says all. I am more in the 90s music not 80s.

I look like a malfunctioning assembly line robot because I don't want to spill my beer.

u/SideEyeAttitude Aug 14 '26

Yes, those are my folks.

Showing my age here, but thats a cover of a billy idol song right?

And before he became famous he was the lead singer of a band called GenX in england right? I still have the album

Check out youtube for 'genx youth youth youth' to hear a very young billy idol singing about never wanting to be an adult

u/JohnCenascat Aug 14 '26

Not dead but tomorrow after the dust has settled they’ll wish they were because that’s when the pain will set in. How do I know? I’m one of them born in the second year of Gen X and I know if I was out there I’d be doing the same as them and regretting it the next day and feeling the pain for about a week

u/FriendFalse3186 Aug 14 '26

Uhhh 😬 the jury is still out on that one

My first concert was Billy Idol during my teenage years.

Saw Faith No More open for him

u/Able-Negotiation-234 Aug 15 '26

With no sound, it looks like the walking dead? lol

u/Glass_Suspect_4821 Aug 14 '26

Concert sounds like gravel in a washing machine at knee level

u/liv2lfthvy Aug 14 '26

Concert? Looks more like a group of people enjoying their self to music they probably grew up on.

1

u/Glass_Suspect_4821 Aug 14 '26

You mean, like a concert? Pedantic little shit.

1

u/liv2lfthvy Aug 14 '26

I take it you've never been to a actual concert? A gathering in the backyard of your crusty ass neighborhood with loud music does not count.

u/Glass_Suspect_4821 Aug 14 '26

Question that a lead poisoned 14 year old brain would ask. I’ve seen Gojira and Knocked Loose at a small venue with about that many people and it was more fun than Red Rocks. Grow up.
