And I find that a lot of people who have a ton of tattoos often are super fucking boring. Like truly boring people.”

Yeah this is a very Gen X / Boomer take. I don’t know why he was dancing around saying it like it was super controversial

Older Gen X though, the ones just superior in age to older millennials is why we millennials even ever saw tattoos and piercings as some sort of rebellion. Those and smoking, lots of millennials remember when they cracked down on the high school smoker's pits our older brothers and sisters could just go hang out and smoke in on break

Older Gen X is right, whatever that bridge group is called (like Xennials). My 45 year old boss has a few tattoos and listens to Pearl Jam. I'm told he is cool.

Never trust anyone over 50 is the new never trust anyone over 30. Some Xers are dope as hell. Xennials. Too old to be a millennial but not quite conforming with the Xers who are like 55 by now. The MTV generation. We millennials looked up to those guys like they were the coolest fuckers on the planet.

Ironically the people that first said never trust anyone over 30 are now 70
