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.

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.
