You can tell who’s Gen X on Halloween — we’re the ones who don’t need a costume to look haunted. We’ve been carrying that existential eyeliner since 1989. While everyone else scrolls for last-minute Amazon costumes, we’re out here dusting off leather jackets that survived more revolutions than TikTok could handle.

We remember when Halloween meant freedom — the night the world looked weird enough to finally match our insides. No curated pumpkin-spice aesthetics, no “content strategy,” just a cheap mask, a trash bag cape, and enough angst to power a small substation.

Millennials had Hot Topic. Gen Z has algorithms.

We had rage and eyeliner, baby — and we made it fashion.

☠️ The Ghosts We Still Dance With

We grew up on urban legends, VHS static, and the soundtrack of rebellion: Alice in Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden. Every power chord was a spell, every scream a sermon.

Our Halloween parties were half séance, half therapy — candles flickering in beer bottles, mixtapes looping between the sacred and the profane.

The real monster under the bed wasn’t Freddy or Jason — it was mediocrity. And we swore we’d never become that.

(Okay, fine — now we pay mortgages and yell at thermostats, but our inner demon still listens to Ministry.)

🩸 The Trick and the Treat

Here’s the trick: The world told us to grow up.

Here’s the treat: We never did.

We wear our scars like badges, our sarcasm like armor.

We still believe rebellion isn’t about chaos — it’s about choice.

It’s saying no when everyone else sells their soul for a discount.

So this Halloween, when the fog rolls in and the porch lights flicker, remember — Gen X doesn’t need saving. We are the haunting.

We’re the middle children of history, raised by broken dreams and mixtapes, still walking through the fire with a cigarette, a smirk, and one mantra echoing in the dark:

Stay Dirty. Stay Rebellious.™

Happy Halloween, you beautiful ghosts.
