32 Gen Xers Share Their Hot Takes Only '80s Kids Would Understand: 'Perhaps this will get me kicked out of our awesome generation'

Pop culture has changed immensely over the years. How did we get from the era of mixtapes, Walkmans, and acid-washed jeans to TikTok, online dating, and artificial intelligence? Kids today will never know how good it was to grow up as a member of Gen X. Times were simpler: parents weren't constantly tracking your location, you didn't watch your whole day doom scrolling, and music was arguably better. We say arguably lightly because these Gex X members below have some hot takes about the latest fads from when they were growing up. You don't see this side of Gen X too much - typically, this generation is boasting in the nostalgia of the era they grew up in, but some folks decided to speak up and talk about the not-so-luxurious things of the past - in their own opinion. From iconic bands to movies and fashion trends alike, these Gen Xers aren't afraid to give their hot take.
