Gen-Xplain

To explain something in complete sentences with detail and thought (no slang).

Gen Z's failed attempt to be edgy and turn the term "mansplain" into a derogatory term against Gen-X.

They forgot one key point though… Gen X just doesn't care.

Gen Z: What do you mean I have to work on the weekend?
Gen X: Allow me to Gen-Xplain this to you one more time.

gensplain

Gensplaining is when someone of a very different generation from you thinks they know more than you about something you are an expert in, mainly due to the era you were born / grew up in, and condescendingly takes the time to 'explain' to you how it works (similar to mansplaining).

A 25 year old kid in a shop tried to gensplain to me all about vinyl records and how they related to the length of radio singles 'back in the 70s' the other day; she must have missed the fact I'm over 50 and actually lived through it, or else thought I was senile.

Genxplain

When a member of Generation X, the forgotten generation, explains something to younger generations that was a thing that happened during their lifetime, which boomers would not understand. Originated on the "WillHouz" podcast.

"Sorry, allow me to Genxplain... we didn't have camgirls when we were young. We had to call 1-900 lines to have phone sex."
