    GenX chiming in here:

    Man, do what the fuck makes you happy. I did. A lot of us did. I travelled. I gambled. I fucked. I drank, dosed, moshed…damn near died a few times. Sometimes I did all of the above all at once.

    Now I’m old, gray, and swollen. Living a boring peaceful life. Got a lot of regrets but none of them involve passing on any of that shit.

    So you Gen Z types, live it up. I’m planning on still being here when you get old, gray, and swollen. Come over and we’ll smoke a little weed, do lines of ibuprofen, and play Doom.

      Fucking while moshing sounds logistically complicated, were you gambling with people about how long it would go on without anyone suffering a penile fracture?

      Another Gen-X with a similar message, but also an apology for leaving you a god damn mess to be expected to live in. If I had been born when you were, I’d be pissed off too. If I had been born when you were and had the knowledge I do as a Gen-X, I’d be setting fires.

        I’m almost 40 and still ride my shopping cart through the parking lot whenever it’s heavy enough to hold me. Life is too short to grow out of fun.
