Love and Romance in the 80s and 90s — My So-Called Livestream #70
My So-Called Gen X Life | September 7, 2026
Tonight, we remember what it was like to date, fall in love, get married, and make babies in the 80s and 90s. We will look back at our favorite love songs, power ballads, rom coms…and all things love and romance in our Gen X lives.
I remember all these complication music collections when you would either stay up late or wake up with the TV on and it would be on and you would be singing along
"Never Been Kissed" made me a huge Jessica Alba fan. Lordy, I had such a crush on her after watching that movie.
I turned 8 when 1990 hit so the only romance films I remember watching across the entire decade was "Ghost", "Man in the Moon", "Titanic", "Love Jones" and "Never Been Kissed". In the 2000s, I embraced romance-comedies more because of Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston. I still won't watch extremely sappy stuff like "The Notebook", or the "Twilight" series, that's too much for me. 😂

To me a Power Ballad is like the song Is This Love by Whitesnake, November Rain by GNR
