About Us

🎙️ About Smells Like Gen X?

Smells Like Gen X is a nostalgia-fueled blog and video platform created for the generation raised on mixtapes, mall arcades, Saturday morning cartoons, and zero adult supervision.

We cover life as it really was for Gen Xers—raw, weird, funny, and often unsupervised—with a mix of sarcastic commentary, vintage pop culture deep-dives, and unfiltered stories from the analog era. Whether it’s a breakdown of forgotten gadgets, a love letter to grunge fashion, or a video rant about the trauma of waiting for a song to play on the radio—we’re here for it.

We’re not chasing trends. We’re reclaiming them.

🎯 Who It’s For

  • Gen Xers who grew up in the chaos and wouldn’t trade it for anything

  • Millennials who wish they had

  • Anyone who knows a VHS tape could ruin your whole weekend

  • And everyone sick of sanitized, algorithm-approved nostalgia

  • Long-form blog posts with snark, heart, and cultural memory

  • Vlogs that feel like vintage rants from the back of a school bus

  • Lists, deep-dives, and retro commentary that hit you right in the childhood

  • Stories that smell like Aqua Net, taste like Tang, and sound like a Walkman on its last battery
