Generation X is the last generation to have the old timey childhood, but also moved into the digital age, we had hippie family members, rotary phones, 2 channels on TV, we respected our elders, we watched siblings smoke pot, we grew up with Gilligans Island and never had to /1
wear seatbelts. We rode in the back of a truck with not a care in the world. We were lively and a little wild, we played with a Rubik’s cube, we had train sets and drove go karts, we would go sledding and someone always got injured. We took chances. We wore pastel and /2
other clothes that glowed in the dark. Let’s talk about the wild 80’s hair, 70’s bell bottoms and those crazy mullets 🤣. We learned to drive a stick and most of us could drive a dirt bike. We watched SNL, SCTV, Kids in the Hall and SOAP. We were accepting and generous. /3
We had great movies like Jaws, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Buellers Day Off, An Officer and a Gentleman, we had parties in our backyards, at McDonald’s and Dairy Queen. We ate a lot of French Fries and loved our Mood Rings. We graduated from HS in the early to late 80’s /4
and went off to College and University. We had great Rock and Roll bands, like Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and pop music that is still enjoyed today. We loved our MTV and the start of the digital revolution. We learned to adapt and taught ourselves how to /5
use computers and learn what an MP3 was, we downloaded music from Napster and started to record music on Cd’s. From all of this, we are one of the greatest generations. But, that is only my opinion. Enjoy the flashbacks. /6
