Amazing introduction, Dana! I am proud to be a part of genXy with you--in all senses. I'm excited for this adventure and the friends we'll meet along the way. PS: And thank you for acknowledging that not all of us love(d) Night Ranger. ;-P
How did WE get to be the oldz?? When did *that* shit happen?
It doesn't seem like too, too long ago when a friend said to me "Hey, have you ever heard of a guy named Doug Coupland? You need to read this book. It's US, they have a name for us now."
Yeah, they have a name for us now too. Increasingly it's MeeMaw and PopPop.
FINE...we drank from the fuckin' hose while riding in the back of a pickup and throwing Jarts as we got tossed off the merry go round. Rant over. NOW...get off my fuckin' lawn.
Srsly, as the kids say, great to see this project. Best of luck and half-mazel, you crazy kids. Looking forward to it. See y'all at the Druid-house...
This line is SO true: “Being genXy means you’ve had and lost music across every format ever available — and are sort of fine about it.”
I’m still bitter about the cassettes that were stolen from my car in the 90s but only because many were obscure and irreplaceable and for that reason I knew the thieves would ultimately trash them. What a waste! But also, I don’t really care because what would I play a cassette on now anyway?
Also, you look MUCH younger now than you did in the 90s—and seem like you’re having more fun!
Had to look Gen X up. According to Wikipedia, born in the early sixties to mid eighties.
Too young for Vietnam but not too young (or too old) to protest. Saw the fall of the Berlin Wall and all that came after that in Europe. Saw the start of "globalization" and paid the price for that. Saw Nixon's downfall but may have been too young to appreciate what that meant.
My memories of the sixties, seventies, and eighties are of a relatively uncomplicated period. That is likely more due to my pre-Boomer (1942) age than any actual reality. So some on GenXy. Fill in the blanks for us. Tell us about your past and, more importantly, your future.
