  1. Watching Maximum Overdrive. Machines became self-aware, trucks started hunting humans, and somehow this passed for entertainment in the 80s. Gen X didn’t need safe spaces. We had Stephen King, AC/DC, and homicidal fucking semis.

  2. There's actually a lot going on visually. Keep an eye out for really subtle environmental humor.

  3. Sifl & Olly is surrealist comedy genius.

    I'm glad I'm finally getting around to watching them in order.

    (It's mostly aged well except for occasional outdated language and expired comedy tropes. Super nostalgic.)

  4. I'll fuck you up, in public, verbally, ya dipshit #GenX sellout cowards. Promise, for the pathetic peons.

  5. So...after 50 years of thinking that it sounds like "Oona Babba Leeja," I finally had to find out what the hell John Sebastian is singing in the Welcome Back Kotter theme song. Turns out, it's this...

    "Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?
    (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?)
    Back here where we need ya?
    (Back here where we need ya?)"

    Makes sense, I guess. You're welcome.

  6. Watching Logan’s Run. Love it. Shiny dystopian future, terrible hair, giant computers, and humans apparently deciding 30 is ancient. Peak 70s sci-fi. They really knew how to make the future look fucking weird.

  7. I read recently that Gen X is leaning into booze unlike their younger counterparts. After the Thomas Dolby show in Boston the other night, a fellow showgoer who parked near us mentioned that she'd never seen so many badly behaved people over 40.

  8. Interview with Mike D: ‘After Yauch died I couldn’t make music. I’d open a computer file and just feel sadness’ #GenX

    Does band name count? It's the first thing that popped into my head.

  10. @MsDropbear42 Oof, goosebumps reading that. I fell in love with Springsteen's The River when I first heard it all those years ago, and now that I am indeed a mid-50s Gen-X-er ... well, that article hit me properly in the feels.

  11. Even putting aside the context, I still run into folks that don't 'get' how important it was to hear Steve Rogers say, "Avengers... assemble."

    At that moment in the theater of the 4th movie, guys of my generation around the world burst into tears.

    I'm not joking.

  12. Goody combs.
    A must have for the well-heeled gentleman at Jane Addams Junior High School, circa 1979.
    Mine was red, though.
    Bright red.
    So 😝

  13. I’m Not a Conspiracy Guy, But……
    I don’t really have one specific conspiracy theory that I completely believe. I’m not sitting around with a corkboard covered in red string, photographs, and newspaper clippings trying to figure out who secretly controls the weather. I have a life. And honestly, that sounds exhausting. But
