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!

  1. Silence of the Lambs

    6D AGO

    Silence of the Lambs

    We’re revisiting a film that didn’t just redefine the psychological thriller—it crawled under our skin and stayed there. The Silence of the Lambs turns 35 this year, and we’re looking back at what made it so chilling, so smart, and so enduring. From unforgettable performances to its lasting cultural impact, it’s time to open the case file on a true cinematic classic. (May contain some explicit language.)

  4. The Rise & Fall of Reruns

    JAN 29

    The Rise & Fall of Reruns

    A hot afternoon in the mid ’80s: you walk in, drop your stuff, switch on the TV, and there’s that same Gilligan’s Island episode you’ve already seen a bunch of times — and it still feels comforting. For Gen X, reruns weren’t just background TV; they were part of our daily routine and taught us jokes, culture, and how to share a living room. Now, in a world of endless streaming choices, we’re looking back at how those old repeats shaped us and what it means that they’ve mostly disappeared. (May contain some explicit language.)
