Vintage Viv is the voice and storyteller for a generation shaped by a remarkable global shift: Generation X.

I am a woman born in 1965. I remember the weight of things—the heavy TV set, the clunky record player, the physical effort of untangling a cassette tape with a pencil.

We watched the old world transition, and we took the reins. Ready to see the future we built?
