Generation X. If you grew up in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, you know just how cool it was to be a kid back then. We had the greatest music, movies, games, technology, and pop culture of any generation, and though we"ve grown older, we have refused to outgrow our love of everything GenX. GenXGrownUp looks at yesterday and today through the eyes of Generation X"ers who have refused to grow up!

REWIND: GenX Future Predictions

GenXGrownUp Podcast ·

2024/09/12

When Generation X dreamed about the future, we pictured either a technological paradise with flying cars, helpful robots, no illness and rocket ships or we pictured a wasteland brought on by some human action. Neither came true (luckily in the latter), but we’re still a ways off from where we thought we would be by now. In this Backtrack we look at what we thought the future would hold and discuss some of the things we thought we would have and don’t, and what we have that we never would have

REWIND: Walkman & Discman

GenXGrownUp Podcast ·

2024/09/05

There’s probably not a GenX’er out there who wasn’t somehow impacted by the introduction of the Sony Walkman. The ability to carry the music you want to hear and listen to it wherever you go was seen as nothing short of a miracle in technology. In this episode, we talk about the Walkman’s history and our personal experiences with this life-changing piece of tech.YouTube » GenXGrownUp.com/yt Facebook » fb.me/GenXGrownUp Twitter » GenXGrownUp.com/twitter Website » GenXGrownUp.com Merchandise

2024/07/31

One, two, three…. NOT IT! How many times have you started an exhausting game of tag with those words? In this week’s GenXGrownUp Backtrack we remember playing outside.

REWIND: Retired Advertising Mascots

GenXGrownUp Podcast ·

2024/07/25

Back in the 70s & 80s, nothing sold a product better than a great mascot or spokesperson. Everyone knew Mr. Wipple, Chalie the Tuna, and the Maytag repairman, and they became almost synonymous with the products they represented. We thought that they’d be around forever but times change and many of our beloved characters have been replaced. In this Backtrack we remember some of our favorites and talk about what made them so memorable.Patreon » patreon.com/genxgrownup Facebook

Dangerous Toys We Shouldn't Have Had

GenXGrownUp Podcast ·

We’re Generation X kids who grew up largely unsupervised and left to our own devices.

In this Backtrack, we’re taking a stroll down memory to lane littered with the most dangerous toys we shouldn’t have had.
