Five Gen X values from the ’90s that can save today ’s world: We're bringing "whatever" back.

We were taught sincerity was for simpletons, corporate is evil, authenticity is king, conformity is death and there is nothing worse than being a sell-out or a poser.

We need to embrace the top five “whatever” values that we were raised on.

In the early 2000s , people fell head-over-heels in love with smartphone technology and social media so quickly that nobody stopped and said, “Hey, wait a minute !” Now, we have a world where kids are depressed, the culture has become divided and nobody talks to each other in public anymore, they just stare at their phones.

By embracing the Gen X value of old-school cool, we can help the planet while looking much more fashionable in the process.

Xers are at the age where we get to run the world for a few decades , it’s time to recommit to the core values that make us well us.

The great news is that as Gen Xers , it will be easy to get back to our roots because we were raised to ironically love the past.
