Gen X, the generation that people tend to forget about, or so they say. The ones raised on mixtapes, morning cartoons and slacker culture. The first ones to experience MTV and the digital era but also were know for their mall gatherings.
People usually see them as the quiet ones, the skeptical, but mostly the ones who were and still are effortlessly cool. It just takes one look back at their best moments to know they were as authentic as they could.
These photos are a reminder that Gen X didn’t go unnoticed, their good times were just too good not to live them quietly.
