When we talk about Gen X a lot of things come into mind, flannel shirts, mixtapes, skate parks and a hype for authenticity. The kids born between the mid 1960s and early 1980s ended up defining the 1990s and giving it the shape and soul that we remember today.
They shaped the music, fashion, film, sport and the internet that we have now. A generation that turned boredom into art and who ruled a whole decade. This are some of our favorite Gen X people who gave the 90s its classic shine.
