- Society & Culture
The Gen-Xer Pod takes a look back at events, recollections, and other concepts that we experienced in the lifetime of the latchkey generation. How we consider ourselves self-reliant, which isn't what it is at all. And the lingering effects that are still with us.
Your host, Steven Vargas, will explore thoughts, experiences, and mindsets that raised this dark and nihilistic generation.
New episodes will be released every Wednesday.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Los Angeles Riots
It has been 32 years since the Los Angeles Riots after the Rodney King verdict. This is a throwback episode from two years ago, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the event. Why the verdict wasn’t the sole cause and how things reverted after the events of 9/11.
Lots of other things happened for this throwback and will be explained in the episode.

Fast and Loose
This week I am trying something a bit different. Hence the title name. While it seemed like a good reason at the time of recording, I am not sure I will try this again. You guys let me know. The whole reason for it is explained in the episode. So… Enjoy?

Male Fragility
This episode is not going to be in the direction that many of you think it is. Yes, there is toxic masculinity, but the definition needs to truly be defined. The problem about our “new” concept of masculinity comes from conservatives and liberals. There is extremism and reality is somewhere in the middle. We touch on women’s roles in how masculinity is being affected, and how conservatives are capitalizing on it to make a quick buck.
The ones that are hurt? The ones that actually need the help.

What's the Plan Stan?
I know I released a “Momentary Pause” in regards to this show on branding. Well, with it being 2024 and all, things change on a dime. “What’s the Plan, Stan” discusses what the plan is going forward and that other podcast idea is dead.
See you next week with my new episode!

Trailer
This isn’t a podcast you think it’s going to be. I will not be beating my chest claiming we’re the last great generation. We’re not. We’re as silly and absent-minded as the ones before us, as will the ones after us.
Host, Steven Vargas, will look at all the social issues, philosophies, and childhood concepts that makes us wonder, how did we end up here?

The Angst of Social Media
We have returned, as promised. This week, we are doing something a little different. First, I will be discussing how music and memory are so interlinked. The bigger story is about how toxic social media is for kids today. Older generations don’t truly acknowledge it, until it’s too late.
