The secrets about GenX and The Woods, revealed!

Oooowwww, weeeee! Did I step into a hornet’s nest last weekend! It started off innocently enough with me scrolling TikTok. Being a GenXer, I’m typically interested in related content. I kept seeing these posts about “The Woods”. Being the city girl, I was perplexed and wanted to know more about The Woods.

So I did what any self respecting TikToker would do, I created a video to ask the question. Here’s the video:

I thought it was innocent enough. I posted the video and expected my typical couple hundred views, some likes and perhaps some explanations. I went down to the beach to hang out and by the time I came back, my video had begun to go viral!

I touched a nerve. The comments ranged from insightful to comical to wtf? I had so much fun reading the comments and interacting with other GenXers, I decided to post a follow up video about how I was going to create my own “Woods” stories. Here’s that video.

The rest of the night I had so much fun reading and interacting with other Xers, I realized I wasn’t the only one who didn’t grasp the concept of the woods. So, I decided to make another video to help share what I learned. Here’s that video.

I wish I could tell you that was the end of the Woods story but there’s more! Some people aren’t happy about me asking questions about The Woods. In an upcoming post, I’ll share some of those funny posts.
