Gen X is the fearless generation. They’re the ones leaping from the highest rocks at the creek, building homemade bike ramps with their buddies, and having competitions with the neighborhood kids to see who could climb the highest tree in the park. Nothing could stop a Gen Xer, because they don’t need helmets, they don’t …

A Nostalgic Scrapbook of 70’s and 80’s Kodak Moments for a Trip Down Memory Lane (September 25, 2024)
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 …

‘The return of Vans Warped Tour, Y2K, and indie-sleaze’: How Millennial Nostalgia Has Become the Biggest Cash-Grab Since Student Loans
Y2K is becoming cool again. Millennials and Gen Z are romanticizing the tech-free days of the early 2000s with its excessive aesthetic, rebellious nature, and excitingly edgy offensiveness. Originality may be dying, but the market wants the feel-good memories from our youth, not something unfamiliar or innovative. Why improve or change anything when you can …

A Burnt CD of 2000s Nostalgia for an MTV Cribz Tour Down Memory Lane
We are the last of a dying breed. We are the first of a new generation. We are the ones to watch technology grow into a sentient monstrosity and the last to have a Tamagachi. We are… Millennials. There’s something to be said about the generation that straddled the dawn of the Internet. Growing up, …

Did you ever stand up on the park swings? If you were a latchkey kid like many children in the 70s and 80s, you probably didn’t have a hover-parent to survey your every move on the jungle gym, which means you definitely pushed the boundaries of safety on that swing set. Kids back in those …

27 Gen X Memes for 80s Kids Raised on Hose Water (September 11, 2024)
Back when recess insults were encouraged and playgrounds were made of industrial-revolution-grade metal, kids used to be tougher. Gen X was built for knee scrapes, sandlot banter, and the occasional undiagnosed concussion. Perhaps it was the homemade bike ramps or the impromptu games of freeze tag in the vacant lots, but there’s definitely a reason …

‘Karen’: 34 Classic Gen X Names on the Brink of Extinction
What’s in a name? A lot actually… In fact–ancient cultures believed that your name was a predecessor for who you’d become, what you’d stand for, and the legends you’d create. Nowadays, young parents seem to be trying to out-stupid the other parents in the kindergarten PTA by naming their kids something ‘original’ just for the …

Gen Zers make fun of millennials for never making big purchases on their phones and reserving them for computers: ‘I ain’t about to mess up a $500+ purchase just cuz it’s convenient’
It’s easy to criticize someone slightly older or younger than you for their technological quirks. I find it funny when millennials claim they learned coding in middle school because they changed their Tumblr themes with HTML. To me, that’s just a wee bit overselling their skills. On the other hand, a millennial could easily criticize …

Do you remember how cool it sounded when you put a baseball card in your bike spokes? We all wished we had a little 2-stroke motorcycle, but all Dad could afford was this lame single-speed Schwinn. Well, like everything back in the 70s and 80s, that ‘lame’ bike of yours is still kicking–and is probably …

27 Gen X Memes for 80s Kids Raised on Hose Water (August 27, 2024)
Gen X was wild when they were young. We were launching off of homemade bike ramps in the streets until dark, climbing every tree in the park next to the school, and digging holes in the yard deep enough to sink Mom and Dad’s wood-paneled station wagon. This generation of rabble-ruffians was wild and free, …
