Fox News Appeals To Gen X For Help. Gen X Tells Fox News Where To Stick It.

Fox News correspondent Gillian Turner: "Cancel culture is spreading like wildfire. There is a call for Generation X to lead the charge to save America from the social media mob. Can they do it?" pic.twitter.com/zxmxkppQ3i

Gen X is trending because Fox News thinks we are the ones who can kill cancel culture.

The Gen X discourse on here is so lame. We do not want to be talked about. I hate myself for even writing this tweet. Please leave us alone.

If there’s one thing Gen X loves, it’s being told who they are and what they should do

Hilarious notion that Gen X would assist the scolds that told us what to watch, read and listen to. Blow on the cartridge, boomers. pic.twitter.com/vnzrL2a9sL

The War on Drugs? Mostly took out Gen X. We were sacrificed on a few fronts. Those of us that made it? Borderline feral. And some of the Boomers circled back to demand we support them while we paid off college debt & raised kids. We're exhausted & most of us won't live to retire

The gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally fill, all the vermin will drown.

All the white supremacists and sexual predators will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and Gen X will look down and whisper “No.” https://t.co/jzDT2KNUaU pic.twitter.com/PNtVLfowU8

Boomers: Gen X can save us! Gen X, please tell the kids to stop cancelling things, they're ruining YOUR childhoods too!

Sorry but generation x grew up listening to our stepdads rail against political correctness while calling Sinead O’Connor a bitch and trying to ban rap so we’re kinda over this shit https://t.co/8oRBd1uOSN

Hi, Gen X'er here. I'm still a little pissed at what Tipper Gore did to my CD covers and how the religious right told parents to boycott blue jeans who supported the Boys Scouts for hiring gay leaders. https://t.co/9sc0X76iJl

GenX here. Never has a quote less understood the actual GenX vibe. We literally can't be bothered. https://t.co/Jd5YLSjI9W

Gen X is old enough to know that boomers created all they now decry. https://t.co/z9Mimb3dTc

Fox News: "GEN X NEEDS TO STEP IN AND STOP CANCEL CULTURE!!!!"

Gen X: "Remember when y'all tried to cancel Bart Simpson and Murphy Brown tho?"

As a Gen X who grew up poor under Reagan I know the real "cancel culture" is conservative. I've seen them try to cancel food stamps, unions, social security, Medicare... heavy metal, hiphop, Dungeons and Dragons, video games and even french fries (!) Kiss my Gen X ass. https://t.co/FFHwNm8JFc

Hi, Boomers:

During my latchkey teenage years, I listened to heavy metal, Madonna, and Sinead O'Connor. I played a lot of Dungeons & Dragons.

Please don't talk to me about "cancel culture."

Respectfully yours,
Gen X https://t.co/j59ZdEHHCX

I don’t know much, but I know Gen X does not care about this shit. https://t.co/BVCZCyOgsK

Listen. Gen X was born canceled.

No pity, motherfuckers.

As a Gen Xer: lololol, no. I'm not going to save America from a fictional panic the right keeps peddling because they want to say bigoted things without consequence. https://t.co/uhtcX6QIvZ

— Elizabeth Spiers (@espiers) March 15, 2021

Gosh, I'd sure like to, but my brain is still too poisoned by all that heavy metal music and D&D devilry in the 80s to make anything I do be very effective. https://t.co/HRbpBWCJrl

— Wm. Brett Hill (@magisternihil) March 15, 2021

I never do this but...Dungeons and Dragons. Horror movies. Twisted Sister. The entire genre of rap. Boomers tried to "cancel" a shit ton of stuff when I was a kid. Why...as a self-respecting Gen Xer, should I care what you think about Cancel Culture? https://t.co/UXWc2rcnuZ

Sorry. I can't speak for the rest of Gen X, but I myself missed your call. I have my phone in "do not disturb me with your whiney bullshit" mode. https://t.co/tKxtkqaPLJ

If you expect my fellow Gen Xers to do anything but mock this culture warrior dipshittery we've been suffering through our entire life, you haven't been paying attention. https://t.co/EUHfr8Kq0w
