24 Gen X Memes for 80s Kids Raised on Hose Water (November 1, 2024)
Back in the 1980s, nobody ever believed that a phone could fit in our pockets and the idea of carrying around a computer with you at all times was absurd.

Bellbottom jeans were cool. If you had pants with an egregiously wide flare at the bottom in the 70s you were undoubtedly the coolest person in the room. Pair that with a neon pair of quad skates and you were in contention to be the grooviest kid at the roller rink! With funky tunes and …

21 Gen X Memes for 80s Kids Raised on Hose Water (October 17, 2024)
What does Gen X know about parenting? Well, since most of ‘em are latchkey kids, making their own grilled cheese after school before mobbing with 5 other neighborhood kids on their bikes around town, I’d say that everything Gen X learned about parenting, they learned out in ‘the field’.

There was a time, dear reader when we had to watch TV live. We raced to the bathroom during the commercial breaks and flopped onto the floor 2″ from the screen when our show came back on. And if you missed the broadcast, you were missing out. There was no way to rewind or look …
