Steve R. Patterson - Invidious

Steve R. Patterson

I’m Steve R. Patterson.

This channel is Gen X, music, and what remains when illusion breaks—no headlines, no politics, no news cycle. Just lived experience, memory, and the soundtrack that built us.

Gen X Transplant Bros and the one-hour podcast Free Will Burning are unscripted conversations with my brother Troy—heavy metal, guitar culture, concert stories, top 10 lists, and the meaning we’ve wrestled out of the noise.

Accidental Expat is my solo, evergreen series—life outside the U.S., gear, tone, routine, and real-world observation without chasing the day’s outrage.

And once a month: Steve’s Music Archive—a short road story and an original studio track from the past. The Dead are part of the map. Metal is the backbone.

Gen X: raised analog, aging digital, standing between systems that collapsed and ones that never earned trust.

No scripts. No lessons. Just honest conversation from where we landed.
