I'll go first...
"Who's Debbie Gibson?"
"What's a long duck don?"

My husband is 8 years younger than me (and HAF, so there’s that). (Wait—is HAF something only old people say???) He was born in 1980 and vehemently denies that he is a Millenial. Anyway, he knows more Gen X movies, TV shows and songs than I do, so I just shut my trap.

1980 is GenX. We are the last of GenX but we're GenX, damnit lol

I said something about the Nestea plunge, & my 13 years younger husband looked at me like I was speaking Greek. We’ve been together 12 years, so I could write a book’s worth of examples, but for some reason this one popped into my head first. 🤪

My wife had never seen Gremlins and when I asked "how" she responded with "I was three when it came out!"
I saw it in the theater with friends.

I was dating a girl 3-4 years younger than me but they were big years. I asked her "what were you like in high school?" She said I spent most of my time on the Internet". "Oh" I said. "When I was in high school we didn't have the Internet yet."

I was watching a Todd in the Shadows and he was talking about how the 1980's were boring and he said "Name one thing that happened in the 1985 that's not a pop-culture thing" and my SO popped up with "Well, I was born!"
GarthRanzz@reddit
That would have been my SO’s answer as well.

You’re married to a GenXer?! Not sure which part she was more mad about…
Nashvillebitch@reddit
She asked me why she was dating someone her dad's age.

“It’s no one’s business how old you are or our age difference.”
Stung at first, until I reframed it as “I bang younger women.” 🤣🤣🤣

What’s Led Zeppelin? 😲I wanted to cry, then smack their parents for their obvious musical neglect.
