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!

Latest Episodes:

Show notes

We run down our top 10 favorite one-hit wonders from the 1970s – memorable tracks from artists that were never quite able to duplicate the success of that one great song!

As Seen On TV Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

If you grew up in front of the TV in the ’70s & ’80s, more than once you were invited to buy a Clapper, a Chia Pet, or a set of Ginsu steak knives. If I told you we were doing an episode all about the “As Seen On TV” phenomenon, how much would you pay? Wait, don’t answer yet!
