Positively Gen-X
Positively Gen-X #2 - March, 2025
Welcome to the March edition of the newsletter.
March has been a fun month for Gen-X content on TikTok….so many good shows premiered this month, including The Greatest American Hero and Mr. Belvedere. My post about green army men blew up, people loved the TV taglines videos, and I brought back some of my fun short videos this month. You can check it all out on TikTok, Threads, and Instagram.
I’m going to start digging into brand collaborations this year, so if you have any suggestions for companies to work with, send them my way!
Enjoy!

How will you be honoring detention day for The Breakfast Club? March 24th, 1984—a day that is celebrated world-wide by Gen-X.
We should convert abandoned malls into Gen-X retirement homes.
Kids these days will never know the pain of realizing there’s no VHS tape behind the box at the video store.
I can remember every word to a song from 1982, but not why I’m in the kitchen.
Nobody these days understands the sarcasm behind “Here’s a dime. Go call somebody who cares.”
