Reminding the world who invented sarcasm, mixtapes & Saturday morning cartoons. Still wondering how we became the adults in the room. Website coming soon.

Gen X knew the real high score hustle 👉 no WiFi, no saves, just flippers, flashing lights, & pure adrenaline. 🎯✨
What was your go-to pinball machine?

R.I.P. to the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. 🦇
A true icon who gave #GenX its heavy metal heartbeat.
You’ll never be forgotten. 🖤⚰️

RIP to Malcolm-Jamal Warner (1970–2025). 💔
He gave #GenX laughter, heart, and hope as Theo Huxtable.

Happy National Ice Cream Day!🍦
If this chart brings back sweet memories of chasing the ice cream truck barefoot, welcome to the club. 🚛🦶🏻
You heard the jingle. You grabbed the quarters. You ruled the block.

Tiny size Chiclets from the 1970s
It’s the little things that made growing up extra sweet. 🍬
Remember when a pack of tiny Chiclets could make you feel so cool? 🌈🫧
The crunch, the burst of flavor, the rainbow in your pocket.

Happy 59th Birthday to the “Say Anything” legend himself, John Cusack! 📻🎂🎉
He held “High Fidelity” in our hearts, always has been “Better Off Dead” funny & “Grosse Pointe Blank” cool.
Here’s to the “Serendipity” of growing up with his films.

How #GenX (70s + 80s kids) managed stress?👇
📝 Chewed pencils
🧽 Stabbed erasers
🪙 Rubbed coins
🖊️ Gnawed on pen caps
This was our therapy. No apps or active assailant drills, just run-of-the-mill angst.

I turned 59 yesterday… and somehow I’m a lot older than the ‘old’ people I grew up watching. 📺 Feels like I woke up in The Twilight Zone. 👀😂
