Gen X has been living on a Flintstone vitamin, fried bologna sandwiches, and a dream for the last several decades. 

This generation wasn’t always a collection of bad attitudes and nihilism, but as life punches you in the face, one learns a few boxing moves in the process. And let me tell ya’, Gen X has been in the fighting ring since day one. However, in the face of adversity, Gen X proved to be the toughest nuts to crack in the general populous, riding the high of their teenage years in the 80s all the way through to their Facebook Renaissance era. While Gen X is often forgotten by their peers, overshadowed by the rivalry between Boomers and Millennials, they’ve spent that time under the radar creating the best music, drinking water straight from the hose, and cultivating the funniest dark humor jokes. 

Alas, from the muck and the mire rises a generation of tough cookies, who would never repeat the mistakes of our beloved Artax from NeverEnding Story. Gen X refuses to sink in the Swamp of Sadness and instead band together to reminisce on the original high-quality Tupperwares from Granny, the cassette tape collection in the attic, and the hot rod posters that still make them froth for their dream car: A 1967 Cutlass Supreme.
