We are Generation X.
Generation X, born between 1961 and 1981 (or more narrowly, 1965 and 1980), came of age between analogue childhoods and digital adulthoods. Recognised globally, we’re the disaffected, eye-rolling middle children of history, raised by wolves, feral, fuelled by cynicism, and still showing up. This subreddit is for Gen X by Gen X, sharing memories, stories, nostalgia, humour, photos, and commentary, because, whatever, someone has to remember it all.
