Me: I'm getting sick of watching VH-1. When will a Green Day video come on?
Boomer cousin: You're so Generation-X. Why don't you listen to my James Taylor CDs?
Me: I'm already bored.

Get the generation x-box mug.One of the most influential stables in the history of professional wrestling. First emerging in October of 1997, The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels and Triple H began going against the establishment, and getting the crowds behind them doing it. The D-X lineup changed in March of 98, after Shawn Michaels lost the WWE Championship to Stone Cold Steve Austin and suffered a back injury that kept him out of wrestling for 4 years. Triple H added Billy Gunn (currently Kip James in TNA), Road Dogg Jesse James (currently B.G. James in TNA) and X-Pac (going by his real name Sean Waltman in TNA). The group enjoyed great success both in the ring and with the fans, until Triple H turned his back on D-X, siding with Vince McMahon's corporation in 1999. D-X would occasionaly reunify, but was silenced permanently in 2003.

Get the D-Generation X mug.D-Generation X, or DX for short, was a WWE Faction consisting of "The Game" Triple H, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, "The Road Dogg" Jesse James, "The Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, and Chyna (R.I.P). In my opinion, the best WWE faction EVER. And to quote Triple H, " if you're not down with that, I got two words for ya!" Crowd shouts, "SUCK IT!!!!!!!!"
One of the best D-Generation X moments ever is this. Mr. McMahon trying to talk, Triple H then says "Vince? If you think we can embarrass you any further, watch this." And then the DX theme plays, and the titantron shows Vince McMahon and the Spirit Squad getting covered in SHIT!
