Welcome to That GenX Blog

Welcome to That Gen X Blog, your virtual time machine back to the golden age of pop culture! Here, we celebrate the iconic music, movies, and memories that shaped a generation—our generation. If you grew up taping songs off the radio, debating who shot J.R., and quoting John Hughes films, you’re in the right place.

Who Am I?

My name is Kenny and I am a Gen X enthusiasts with a passion for all things 70s and 80s. A U.K.-based writer who grew up in the era of big hair, classic rock, and VHS tapes, this blog is a labor of love for anyone who longs for the days when MTV actually played music and Saturday mornings were for cartoons.

Why We’re Here

I believe that being Gen X is more than just a birthdate—it’s an attitude. It’s about independence, resilience, and a bit of healthy skepticism. My goal is to connect with others who remember what it was like to survive the analog world and adapt to the digital age, all while keeping a sense of humor.
