Gen X. Generation X, born roughly between 1961 and 1981, came of age between analog childhoods and digital adulthoods.

This subreddit is for Gen X by Gen X, sharing memories, stories, nostalgia, humor, photos, and commentary. Someone has to remember it all, or whatever.

Answered from the posts ViralHunt holds from this community, not from Reddit's own about page.
ViralHunt tracks Reddit and eight other networks, records how every post grows, and puts what is taking off in front of your team in one list.

We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is weighted toward a community's best posts, so an average would be flattering and wrong. Peak per 1,000 members is computed the same way for every community listed. See how we measure.
