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!

Thirty-five years ago, the spirits of a deceased couple were being harassed by the family that moved into their home.

Trivial Pursuit
For most GenX’ers, board games were a big part of how we played together. In 1981, a new game came along where rolling the dice and moving your piece was secondary to your knowledge of trivia and pop culture. In this Backtrack, we’re going around the board collecting pie pieces as we look back on the history of Trivial Pursuit!

Customer Reviews
GenXgrownup! Great content wherever you consume
These gents have a real love for the source material, mostly because they’re a part of the living history being captured right here on Apple Podcasts (Et. AL) I truly believe these fellas have the deepest respect for what they do, and I’m proud to call myself a Gen X Grown up. And your dinner can be French fries, if you add the meal stuff on top! It’s called loaded fries!
I Want My GXG!
The podcast is great— especially the backtracks, for me!— but GenXGrownUp (GXG) is more than that; it’s a community of folks who respectfully appreciate everything related to Generation X, and beyond. These guys love sharing, and love being shared with (even George) via YouTube, Facebook, Discord, Twitch, Twitter, etc. I’m honored to be part of it!
Could have been great
Would be a great podcast if the host didn’t have to occasionally bring up & dump on people whom they disagree with politically, religiously, socially, etc.
