WHO ELSE MOM SWORE SHE COULD MAKE YOU A BIG MAC AT HOME_20250905_144235_0000.png

Join me from September 26-28 in Orlando, FL, for an unforgettable experience at the FanBoy Expo! I'll be meeting with the legendary cast of The Goonies, Lord the Rings, Dallas, The Six Dollar Man, and The Bionic Woman, among others. Don't miss this chance to connect with your favorite stars and fellow fans! See you there!

If you grew up in the 70s or 80s, this is going to hit your brain like the world’s most powerful nostalgia defibrillator.

Thirty TV theme songs in three minutes.
Thirty instant memory unlocks.
Thirty chances to yell “OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THAT!” before the next one hits.

If this doesn’t transport you straight back to the shag carpet, wood paneling, and eating cereal watching Saturday morning TV, I don’t know what will.

Gen X… enjoy the ride.
And if you’re a Millennial or Gen Z watching this:
this is what peak television sounded like.

Luke and Laura got married on November 16 and 17, 1981, over two consecutive days on the soap opera General Hospital. The two-part episode drew a record-breaking 30 million viewers and remains the highest-rated hour in American soap opera history.
The wedding aired over two days, November 16 and 17, 1981.
It was the highest-rated hour in American soap opera history, with 30 million viewers tuning in.
The event also featured a special guest appearance by Elizabeth Taylor, who played the villainous Helena Cassadine.

A relationship that started off unimaginably became the soap opera version of the royal wedding.

Here we go again. More fun with GenZ and Everclear. This is a challenge they're just not built for. To be fair, I GenX knew better than to drink it straight.

Did Gen X really grow up unsupervised?
Absolutely. We were basically stray cats with bikes.
If you made it home alive in the 80s or 90s, congratulations — you won the bonus level. 😅🧨

“When the walk from your crew to her crew felt longer than the seven-mile stretch from the parking lot. 🍻 Back in the 80s/90s we didn’t swipe right — we stalked the bar floor, passed the gatekeeper, bought more than one overpriced drink for hope, then prayed for conversation. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to Gen X bar-hopping chaos. #LivingProof #GenXJono”

Apparently a millennial creator says the thumbs-up emoji is passive-aggressive and triggering.
Buddy… no way you’re speaking for your whole generation. Gen Z gets triggered by animated finger gestures, sure — but millennials? You survived dial-up and LimeWire. A 👍 isn’t your villain origin story.

Gen X watching this unfold: …we got hit with chalk erasers.

If World War III ever breaks out, don’t draft 18-year-olds.
Draft the people who survived metal slides, concrete playgrounds, Tab cola, perimenopause, and waking up injured from sleeping wrong.
Gen X and elder Millennials are the final boss energy you need.

The Goonies, at the Liberty Theatre in Astoria, Oregon, for its 1985 premiere. 40 years ago. A lifetime ago. 15 year old me standing in a similar line on the other side of the country - WNY.

These jingles — and more — live forever rent free in my head. I don't even need the music to remember nearly every word. Who can sing along with me?

I don't know if this makes me less afraid of Lady Elaine or more afraid of Neil Patrick Harris.

Lady Elaine lives in my nightmares and now Neil Patrick Harris lives there right next to her. Who else sees it? I can't unsee it.

Could you imagine what it would look like if we cared for our parents in their elderly years, the way they cared for us in our formative years? Of course these are just jokes, I'm joking I would never. My mother still scares me. 😆

ARTAX!!! I'd like to say I managed to get him out but that would be lying. Thanks John Marks for placing GenX squarely into our trauma at Rhode Island Comic Con

Say what you want but life wasn't easier for most of our parents. They DEFINITELY weren't lazy. And neither our we. Some of GenZ needs to take a beat.

Jenny, Stacey's mom, Jessie's Girl, Oh Mickey and more. Quizzing GenZ and Millennials on the songs I grew up on.

Quick little parody of an educational Film about our old school playgrounds. What was your favorite piece of equipment? Also, which of you wore the ponchos?

Us former 80s kids apologize in advance for the damage about to be inflicted upon the ozone layer. And just when we fixed it too.

Our ability to selectively ignore pending doom is amazing. Is it a GenX thing? Just me?

6-7? Nonsensical brain rot. GenX was yelling 6-9 at 12 years old and knowing EXACTLY what that meant! 😆
#sixseven #sixtynine #generationx #GenX #80skids #billandted #80spopculture

Sounds of a GenX life. Seemingly random sounds that combine to create a sense of nostalgia for the years we grew up in.
#GenX #80skids #generationx #asmr #nostalgia

GenX is literally one big family. One giant group of kids that grew up together even though we didn't.

Rhode Island Comic Con The Blockbuster Experience

Awesome meeting Dina Meyer from Starship Troopers, Beverly Hills 90210, Star Trek Nemesis, Birds of Prey (Batgirl/Oracle) and so much more. An incredible example of GenX Young for Life. 20-Something me is very impressed with how my 50-Something life is going.

GenX-Men. Sharing stories as if we grew up in the same house, on the same block, in the same town. GenX relatability.

GenXers Assemble! Talking all things 80s with a fan/follower and felt like we've been friends for years. GenX speaks a unified language for sure!
#genx #followers #fans #genxnostalgia

It's one thing for someone to walk up to me knowing that I'm going to be somewhere. A follower PLANNING on meeting me. And that's awesome. But when I walk by someone and they stop me dead in my tracks excited that it's me walking by? Not expecting to see me? And being so happy that it's me?? Nothing better. Made my day.

Great meeting you Summer!! Loved talking about movies and the days of Blockbuster!

Rhode Island Comic Con The Blockbuster Experience

Renting movies at Blockbuster was a whole emotional journey.
You’d walk in confident… then suddenly you’re standing at the counter praying the cute employee doesn’t judge your movie choices.
Gen X didn’t have “private mode.” We had sweaty palms and VHS shame.
