About this listen

 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!All rights reserved 2017-2026

  • REWIND: Answering Machines

    REWIND: Answering Machines
    Feb 26 2026
    Before the rise of smartphones, voicemail, and texting, the way we avoided missing important calls was with a tape recorder plugged into the wall. Now nearly extinct, the answering machine used to be standard equipment in most every home. In this episode, we remember this abandoned tech and the role it played in our lives.

  • Silence of the Lambs

    Silence of the Lambs
    Feb 12 2026
    We’re revisiting a film that didn’t just redefine the psychological thriller—it crawled under our skin and stayed there. The Silence of the Lambs turns 35 this year, and we’re looking back at what made it so chilling, so smart, and so enduring. From unforgettable performances to its lasting cultural impact, it’s time to open the case file on a true cinematic classic. (May contain some explicit language.)
