Angela Meyer+FollowMy Mom's Stuck in an 80s Fashion Time WarpI remember a lot of people in the 90s who seemed to be stuck in time. Their sense of style and even their hair seemed to be frozen in their high school years. With the internet and constant access to new trends, I wonder if this phenomenon is less prevalent. It's like I still can't get my mom to stop wearing her 80s makeup with blue eyeliner and bright lipstick. But I've personally moved on from the heavier makeup we used to wear back in the 2010s. I think a lot of millennials are more open to constantly changing things up. The one thing I'm not giving up though is my ankle socks. #GenX #90s #80sFashion #Retro #Nostalgia #CulturalPhenomenon #StyleDebate #Fashion #Hairstyles #Hair #HairTrends 10Share

Andrew Jackson+FollowGen X Job Hunt: It’s Wild Out Here!Job hunting after 20 years? Jennifer McMahon says it’s a whole new world—think way more competition, endless interviews, and even fake job postings. But she’s surviving thanks to three things: leaning into AI tools (hello, ChatGPT), using a job coach, and tapping her network for referrals. Apparently, bragging is now a must, and networking is everything. Who knew the job market could be this intense? #JobCareer #Job #GenX152Share
hfoster+FollowWhy Gen X Isn’t Rushing to BabysitGen X is getting roasted online for being the “worst grandparents” because they don’t want to babysit or be super involved with their grandkids. But their clapbacks are honestly eye-opening: they grew up super independent (sometimes neglected), had to deal with wild stuff like the crack and AIDS epidemics, and basically raised themselves. Now, they just want to enjoy their freedom—not parent all over again. Can you really blame them? #Relationships #GenX #Grandparents1525Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowGen X’s Surprise Payday: Who Knew?Turns out, Gen X—the folks sandwiched between boomers and millennials—are about to get a massive inheritance boost. Over the next decade, they’ll collect $1.4 trillion a year from their parents, making them the unexpected winners of the ‘Great Wealth Transfer.’ For years, Gen X felt left out, but now their wallets (and spending power) are about to get a serious upgrade. Just remember: not everyone will cash in equally, so it pays to plan ahead! #Business #MakeMoney #GenX1712Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowWhy Are Young Adults Getting Appendix Cancer?Did you know Gen X and millennials are over 3x more likely to get appendix cancer than their parents? A new study shows rates are spiking for people born after 1976, and doctors are stumped on why. No, it’s not just better screening—think more like environmental or lifestyle stuff. Symptoms can totally mimic regular appendicitis, so it’s easy to miss. Wild, right? If you get weird stomach pain, don’t ignore it! #AppendixCancer #GenX #Millennials #Health #BodyHealth182Share
Charles Christensen+FollowAppendix Cancer Is Spiking in Millennials?!Wild stat: Gen X and millennials are 3x more likely to get appendix cancer than their parents, according to a new study. Researchers say it’s not just better screening—something in our environment (like obesity) could be upping the risk. And it’s not just appendix cancer; similar spikes are happening with colon and stomach cancers too. No screening tests exist for this one, so knowing the symptoms (think: stomach pain, bloating, nausea) is key. Kinda scary, right? #HealthNews #Millennials #GenX #Health #BodyHealth61Share
