Generation X. If you grew up in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, you know just how cool it was to be a kid back then. We had the greatest music, movies, games, technology, and pop culture of any generation, and though we've grown older, we have refused to outgrow our love of everything GenX. GenXGrownUp looks at yesterday and today through the eyes of Generation X'ers who have refused to grow up!

Breakfast Cereal 16.11.2017 20:37

In this Backtrack we discuss the importance of breakfast cereal to a young GenX'er, our favorite brands, and the rules & struggles of getting our hands on that free prize inside the box!
