Welcome to Gen X Living!
Our Purpose
Rooted in the 1970s and 1980s, Gen X experienced freedom, independence, video games, iconic music, the outdoors, and parties without smart phones. With the 2020's and 2030' ahead of us, Gen X Living hopes to put our generation's ongoing hobbies, activities, and interests in the spotlight. Some of the topics covered on this site include consumer electronics, home and lawn care, music and high-fidelity equipment, outdoor recreation activities, and the upcoming retirement years.
Our parent publication is socPub which was founded in 2017 and covers a number of business related topics including content management, marketing strategy, information technology, information systems, social media (which some would call social publishing), and technology.
