The 80s Called: Memes and Tweets That Perfectly Sum Up What it Means To Be a Gen Xer

The global pandemic has brought a lot of change to the world. One of the most visible of those changes is the high prevalence of surgical masks. Those masks are meant to help stop the spread and flatten the curve, but plenty of people are more concerned with how uncomfortable they are to wear.

In this post, a clever Gen X member points out that their generation has had plenty of experience wearing masks. They mention that the masks they used to wear for Halloween were much more difficult to breathe in too. If you’re a Gen Xer, perhaps you agree that those restrictive masks made you surprisingly well-prepared to weather the pandemic and the many mask mandates that came with it.
