Gen X and Swimming Pools - Cool Summer Fun or Injury Waiting To Happen?
Get your feet wet, wade a little deeper and dive right in. Swimming pools in the Gen X days were the place to cool off under the hot summer sun while perfecting your cannonball and doing the Nestea Plunge. Grab your raft and remember...NO RUNNING AROUND THE POOL! Thanks for listening to Gen X Bites! ⭐ Rate & Review Gen X Bites!

First Jobs in the 80s - Where Did Gen Xers Work for Minimum Wage?
We all remember our first jobs. Pulling down minimum wage flipping burgers, working at the record store or selling parachute pants at the mall were just a few. As Gen X teenagers in Los Angeles we were paid a pittance but there were perks beyond the paycheck like getting to work at Universal Studios, eat free chicken wings, and, best of all…an unforgettable moment with Red Sonja!

80s House Parties Were Out of Control (No Phones, No Rules)
Gen X house parties back in the day started out innocently enough. Just a few friends hanging out while your parents were out of town. Until word got around. Remember how word got around before cell phones? And the outcome? Four kegs, a full band, 200 people you didn't know and that friend who looked like Paulie Shore passed out on your front lawn the next morning.

In the beginning... there was vinyl!!! LPs and 45s reigned supreme for generations but the need for portability spawned the age of plastic music media. Soon four track cassettes were melting in the summer heat of our car interiors - and out of the primordial cassette ooze the digital age of the CD was born.

From the family station wagon that hauled us around town to getting behind the wheel of the first vehicles of our own, cars were a different kind of beast in the 70s and 80s. Seatbelts? Optional. Would they start on a cold morning? Probably not. We were lucky if we had air conditioning and a tape deck. And let's not forget the infamous cigarette lighter. As kids, cars took us places we wanted to go and places we didn't want to go. As teenagers, cars gave us the freedom to get the hell outta Dodge!

Fast Food in the 80s Was WAY Better...Here’s Why
In the 70s and 80s we made it our mission to shove as much fast food into our gaping pieholes as humanly possible. Burgers, fries, tacos, burritos and a stready stream of soda to wash it all down. If Sheriff Brody and Hooper sliced us open they wouldn't have found a Virginia license plate, but instead a steady stream of sugar, sodium and a bunch of chemicals you can't pronounce.
