    Gen X Nostalgia: Unlock some memories with GenXJono, John Kotrides.

    "We were 30 at 10, and we'll be 30 at 60. That X variable is also our age." What happens when a Gen X-er from Buffalo turns a COVID lockdown into 60 million monthly views, celebrating the forgotten generation? Well, we are no longer forgotten; it is the most popular generation right now. Leave your bikes on the front lawn and enjoy the conversation. John Kotrides— GenXJono—didn't set out to become an internet personality. He just wanted to make TikToks with his 9-year-old daughter. But when he turned the camera on himself one night and answered a simple question—"Why are Gen Xers so tough?"—something clicked. Millions of people who grew up with metal playground equipment, unsupervised summers, and Columbia House finally had someone speaking their language. In this conversation, we dive into: The Gen X paradox: How we were simultaneously ignored and watched by everyone. How we had no technology, yet created it all. We're cynical skeptics who somehow became the most connected generation.Why nostalgia isn't about going back: John makes a compelling case that everything we miss about the '80s is still here—we just need to bring forward the people we were, not the decade itself.The cost of division:  John shares why he refuses to pick sides and how Gen X might be the generation that brings people back together.Meeting your heroes: The convention circuit, celebrity encounters, and what John is up to lately. GO meet your Heros!This episode will "unlock memories" you forgot you had. You'll laugh at the Columbia House penny scam, remember the game "Perfection" and the fun we had with that type of anxiety, and maybe—just maybe—realize you don't need a DeLorean to reclaim what made those decades special; it is all still inside of us. GO Follow John and be transported to a magical time and place that still lives within the generation!
