Gen X 101

Like Whatever

What if the essence of an entire generation could be captured through its cultural icons and economic hurdles? Join us as we relive the unforgettable Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, where Cher, Queen Latifah, and Busta Rhymes brought the house down. Heather and I, Nicole, share a hearty laugh over Queen Latifah's legendary Lip Sync Battle surprise for LL Cool J—a must-see for any fan! We also debate Halloween classics like Hocus Pocus and passionately argue why The Nightmare Before Christmas deserves its spot as a holiday film. It's a whimsical celebration of Gen X quirks, from our love for encyclopedias to a nostalgic nod to the Dewey Decimal System.
But it's not all fun and games; we uncover the economic trials that have shaped Gen X into the resilient bunch we are today. From the burden of student debt brought on by soaring tuition to the rise of trade schools as a beacon of hope, we share personal stories that reveal our generation's financial scars. Once deemed slackers, we paint a more nuanced picture of a generation that thrived despite recessions and shifting career landscapes. Grab your earbuds and buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of the Gen X experience!
