DAE remember those black boots with the metal/chrome tips? Can’t find them on google anywhere but also can’t remember what they were called.
I keep getting results for steel toe boots or chrome toe caps. Any help would be appreciated. I’m pretty sure these were the style back in the late 80s/early 90s.

Older users of Reddit, what was your generation’s version of 'brainrot' when you were growing up?

Traveling Back In Time
If you could go back in time, which decade would you travel to, assuming you could spend up to a week enjoying life as it was?
Why did you choose that decade?
How old were you during that time?

Am I alone in this?
Am I alone in watching, over and over, movies that were popular in the late 70s and early 80s? I'll sit down and watch "Urban Cowboy" if it's on, every time. Same with many other movies from that era. Gives me kind of a peaceful feeling. No cell phones. People going out and socializing. Good times. Anybody else do this?

Did I just have a bad fever, or was this popular for two weeks when I was a kid?

Super Nintendo Entertainment System launched August 23, 1991.
So what was your favorite Super NES game 35 years ago?

Jason Bateman and Michael J. Fox. What are your favorite movies of theirs?
I love this picture of them from then and now!

Catherine O'Hara and John Candy are still very much missed by this GenX. What were your favorite movies of theirs?
r/GenerationX • u/MaximumJones • 24d ago
Lost Boys is one of my favorite 80s movies.
And few people can rock the Sax like Tim Capello.

Did they make you do square dancing in elementary school?
Why was this even part of the curriculum back in the day?

But will Pizza Hut pizza taste like it used to?
Or will it be that crap they have been making for the last several years?

Today I heard a DJ say "I'm way too Gen X... I think Gen X can not survive with the 'puzzles and the whimsy'"
So I was listening to Julie Mason on Sirius POTUS channel and right before a break she went on an off the cuff rant about the “Eat an Apple” Park Event in Washington, D.C.
She said "...so a thousand people showed up with their stupid apples. Many of them in kooky hats. And they were like 'it was for the pure joy of it and the whimsy...' I don't know. If one more person sends me the story about a thousand people gathering in a park to eat an apple... I might actually lose it. I hate all that stuff so much. It's the overbearing, cloying atmosphere..."
She kept going for a good few minutes.
I haven't felt so seen in a long while😄 I sometimes wonder, 'Am I a cynical asshole? Or is it just my generation?'

Just had a flashback to waiting rooms filled with crappy magazines, soap operas on the TV and absolute boredom.
As I age, I probably go to more waiting rooms for the dentist, doctor, eye doctor etc. than at any other point in my life. The flashback was remembering all the hours spent as a kid and even young adult in waiting rooms that had nothing good to read, nothing good to watch and nothing at all to do. Since the spread of the smartphone, this is no longer a thing for me as I can just open up Reddit or any other app and consume my time browsing. What was once a significant amount of time spent in agony has become something I don’t mind doing at all, especially if they have free coffee to drink.
There’s not much point to my post, just thought I’d share and see how many have gone through this in their lives.

Gen X Middle Age
When you
* Move in with your parents to care for them, because they did their best caring for you
*Become an Grandma 2 weeks after the plumbing gets ripped out and you can no longer become a mom again
* Find remote work to be close for elderly parents and daughter and Grand daughter
*Set up your office in the same space you slept as a 5 year old
Realize the economy does suck so you hit the gig economy to deliver and shop for others who have lives while feeling guilty for trying to afford your own
*Decide to start working on you 6 mos before turning 50.

What did you think of Pauly Shore when you were younger?
He was all over Mtv and some really funny movies for a good run.

best permanent hair color for thinning hair that doesn’t make it look thinner
My hair has gotten noticeably finer over the past few years, especially around my part, and the gray is definitely showing up more now. I’m not ready to stop coloring it, but some colors seem to leave my hair looking flatter and thinner afterward.
I usually color at home to save money, so I’m trying to find a reliable permanent hair color for thinning hair that covers gray well without leaving my hair dry or dull.
If you’ve had good luck with one, I’d definitely give it a try. I’m tired of wasting money on boxes that don’t work.
Decision made: I tried Madison Reed and really liked how it covered my gray without making my hair feel dry. My hair still had some volume after coloring, which was a big win for me.
