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!

When you look a photos from our youth, the dead giveaway of the time is the iconic way our homes were decorated. Most of those trends have faded away, some have evolved, and still others are just the way we remember them. In this Backtrack we look back at GenX household decor of the ’70s and ’80s!

1980s Fashion Trends

8/31/2023
The ’80s featured fast music, sporty cars, TV in every home, and new materials that changed the world. Everything was somehow bigger, brighter, and bolder than any decade before, and that included fashion. For both men and women, ’80s fashion created some iconic looks that we won’t soon forget, and in this Backtrack, for better or worse, we’re going to remind you of how we all dressed in the ’80s!

Purple Rain

8/17/2023
On August 3rd, 1983, less than a year before the release of Purple Rain, the attendees of a benefit concert for the Minnesota Dance Theatre, in Minneapolis, were witnesses to history. On that night, in the very first live performance by Prince and the newly minted Revolution, the public heard for the first time many of the songs that would, just 10 months later, thrust Prince into legend and mark a tectonic shift in the musical landscape that would reverberate for decade. In this Backtrack, we look back at, remember, and debate one of the greatest soundtracks of all time – Purple Rain.

REWIND: Ads in Old Comic Books

8/3/2023
How would you like to see through walls? How about becoming the big man on the beach in only a few weeks? Still no? Well how about growing your very own sea colony?

Come take a trip with us to look back on some of the strange, bizarre, and downright impossible things that were promised in old comic book advertisements.
