About this listen

 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!All rights reserved 2017-2026

You remember it as that little twisty puzzle that drove you mad as a kid and became an icon of the 1980s right up there with boom boxes, Pac-Man, and leg warmers! With more than 400 million units sold and growing, the popularity of the Rubik’s cube only continues to grow today!

    REWIND: Payphones, Pagers, & Passing Notes
    Apr 16 2026
    It’s hard to image that there was a time where you couldn’t get in contact with just about anybody, anywhere, anytime. In this week’s episode, we look at how our lives were different growing up as GenX’ers and how the way we communicated affected our lives. How did we survive? We did — pretty well actually.
