Ep. 1: And so it begins...

In this debut episode of Gen X Jersey: The Aftershow, Melissa explores the cultural threads behind Episode 1, from Elvis Costello’s rebellion against radio gatekeepers to MTV’s 1981 launch and the divide between Top 40 radio and underground cool. She reflects on taste, nostalgia, streaming-era parallels and why stepping away from blue light still matters. This is where Gen X memories get translated, and the hotline is open for your memories too, no matter what your birth years is: 732-439-4423

Gen X refers to the host, we are programming for all ages!
