Released in 2009 with the lyric, "I'm down like the economy," this is a certified Millennial Classic. We all need to do a better job preserving our Culture, lest we be replaced and ignored like GenX.

@k8em0 @SwiftOnSecurity We are the culture that was raised on peak advertising and marketing; theme songs & living 🙂 through a light year's worth of technological advancement.....all while getting ourselves to and from school and waiting for parents to come home from work.

We just wanna keep to ourselves and let people do what they want.

@k8em0 @SwiftOnSecurity The answer is getting MTV and pop radio to devote time to hot, up and coming swing bands.

That's a legit, wonderfully bizarre thing Gen X did.

@JoeUchill @k8em0 @SwiftOnSecurity you wrote swing but my mind replaced swing with ska.
Show threadJoe UchillJan 27, 2023

@pierogipowered @k8em0 @SwiftOnSecurity

It's amazing ska was popular enough to feed entire ska bands.

You have to imagine it would take three to four times the revenue of any other band to sustain a ska band.

@SwiftOnSecurity I’m pretty sure Air Wolf was made and green lit by boomers. The oldest Gen X at that time were in their 20’s. It wasn’t until the 90’s that Gen X had enough money to really influence culture. Grunge. Bevis and Butthead. Popularizing flannel. Tomagatchi. Ziima. Weezer. Austin Powers. Ten and Stimpy.

Even then, Gen X didn’t really get into the swing of things till the 20’s to now. How about high speed internet. Most of the software used today. Millenials are just getting to the point where they have more influence over culture. I’m excited to see what they bring over the next 20 years.

Also, Lil Wayne and Jay Sean are, at best, Xenials. NOT Millenials.

@SwiftOnSecurity Airwolf was created by a Silent Generation member, Donald P. Bellisario of Magnum PI fame.
If you want cultural output from GenX members, look to things produced in the 90s and 00s. Often the stuff millennials and older zoomers consumed as children.
