Mark Radulich on Pop Culture Burnout and Latchkey Trauma

February 12
1h 6m

Episode Description

This episode of GenX Wasteland dives into the unique collision of pop culture overload and the lingering effects of latchkey childhoods that defined a generation raised with independence, isolation, and endless 80s/90s media as both escape and emotional outlet. I can’t think of anyone better for this grunge odyssey than Mark Radulich. We explore how constant consumption of movies, music, and reboots can fuel burnout while simultaneously reopening old wounds from an era of minimal parental oversight and maximum self-reliance. Through raw Gen X perspective, the conversation unpacks resilience, nostalgia, and why today’s endless streaming cycle hits different for those who grew up with MTV scarcity and mixtape therapy.
