Just a former 80s kid named John Kotrides aka GenX Jono. My


Social norms against drinking and driving were different back then. At least where these people were From boombox to Bluetooth. GenXers got to have it all. We wouldn't trade it for anything. #70s #80s No sadder moment as a kid than being forced to tell friends at the door that we were grounded inside Streaming music, movies, and TV is awesome. Not streaming them was pretty cool, too. Anyone else absolutely HATE these as a kid??#80stoys #70s #80s #90s #GenX #80skids #70skid Tonight on a very special episode of Punky Brewster. Fear of ending up on a milk carton was real Question for GenX from GenX Avoiding phones was a lot easier for us back then. GenX just walked away Who remembers THESE games we played. And I'm not talking about "Kick the Can" this time. Quarters?? Schoolhouse Rock. Which was your favorite? Which one do you remember that others don't? Old laundry detergent commercials exaggerated the impact of ring around the collar. And blood stains McGruff the Crime Dog? Like everything else about a GenX Childhood, there's more to the story "All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die..." Sheryl Crow may have been onto something there More sounds from our childhood growing up. Listen along and head back in time to the 70s and 80s. Specials on TV IN THE 70S AND 80S could be really great or really, REALLY BAD. Like everything else. Rihanna sent a shout out to GenX almost 19 years ago and I'm just getting it now. Pretty cool! If GenX were represented by a Super Hero - Who's your pick? The Hulk? Underdog? Invisible Man? Fun with kids at work continues. 80s music questions. #genz #genx #80sMusicChallenge #80smusic #1980 If you love '80s music then don't act now because this limited offer doesn't exist. But it used to. November 7, 1987 - the theatrical release of "Less than Zero" AWESOME movie - INCREDIBLE soundtrack The question, "How are any of us still alive" Is a valid one. Darwin took his shot at us and missed Yeah we're old. Not THIS old though. #GenX #old #growingup #70s #80s #mtvgeneration From Midnight Star to A Stranger Calling: Pop Culture Montage of GenX Era Phone Calls #70s #80s The older I get, the more I realize that real wisdom is knowing that I don't know everything. Agree? Top 10 songs from this week - 40 years ago. Billboard Top 10 - November 3, 1984.#80smusic #80s 5 Lies Every GenXer Told Their Parents. More than a few millennials too. Don't lie. You tried these. We can't catch a break. We even do it to ourselves 🤣#parenting #maincharacter #ironic #kids #genx Words change in meaning and it's getting kind of hard to keep up. #rawdog #changes #words #keepup Here's your reminder to set your clocks back one measly hour. And to stop complaining about it. Sounds like GenX: Instrumental TV Themes Edition How many of these do you instantly remember? If you're going to tell me this was inappropriate...I know. That's why it was funny. Irreverent too. Because y'all demanded it, more evidence supporting the fact that quick learners we were not. Cisco. Don't forget to check out Part I- For a forgotten generation, sometimes it's nice to be remembered. Don't forget to check out Part II - For a forgotten generation, sometimes it's nice 2 be remembered From Siilent Generation down to the Zoomers, work ethic seems to be sliding in a downhill direction Another installment of "How Old Am I?" 80s Fashion Brands Edition Who remembers these #retrofashion Fun with GenZ at work. Word problems are not their strength. 🤣🤣 #genz #genx #funatwork Halloween was for CANDY. Not stale popcorn balls, not apples, definitely not pencils. #halloween Gen X raised by silent generation parents was a vibe. Empathy and relatability? Yeah, not so much From a Band Aid commercial forever stuck in my brain to Phoebe's mom on friends - and so much more. Malls were our safe spaces of any really existed. Sad to see so many disappearing. Ghost town relics Technology may have made some aspects of parenting easier but the EASIEST way was just not caring I am SO ready to be a Toy R Us kid again. Do the work AND do the fun Engineered to be kids for life. We had two versions of the way we spoke. With others - and with our people. Like totally. Fer shure We are Flintstones kids...with highly evolved immune systems. GenerationX. What didn't kill us... Easier is ok. The old way was fine. Keep It Simple Stupid. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Let it be I love that kids today are keeping our music alive but PLEASE know the music before wearing it Gen X kids threw hands when words stopped working. And I'm not talking just the boys.#generationx A lot of awesome words to describe Halloween back in the 70s and 80s. Safe isn't one of them
