when i was kid, up till about sophomore year in high-school, almost every day after school i went outside and played basketball in the driveway or backyard football / baseball with the other boys in the neighborhood. sometimes we'd get to it straight off the bus during summer break, we did these activities all day this was standard for everyone that simply wanted to have friends in the neighborhood. only like a third of us were actual jocks, there were chubby kids and even a kid that was a special ed student three or four years older than the rest (he was huge, no one could tackle him) I feel like this sort of childhood doesn't exist anymore in 2015 ninotoreS fucked around with this message at 15:08 on May 4, 2015 |

In my day... Dad, or my friend's dad depending on whose house we were at, would come home from work and basically immediately start yelling at us to go outside.

Nirvana really was a revelation. Check how cool I am: I was a college DJ for three years and we still played 95% records as CD's were brand new and too expensive. We got new records all the time and one day I got a 45 - which was a mini record that only had 2-3 songs, youngin's - from a then unknown label out of Seattle called Subpop. It had a band named Soundgarden on side A, and a band named Nirvana on side B, and it literally blew my mind. I never heard anything like it before and it started a revolution at the radio station, thank the gods. It changed the world.

I unironically care about my fiber intake now. Also my prostate. Also I no longer have recurring nightmares and the daily low-grade anxiety about the inevitable global nuclear war destroying everyone and everything I knew or loved, like I did when I was 7 through 17 years old. So, mixed blessings.

Neophyte posted:I unironically care about my fiber intake now. Another story! So I ran for class president my senior year of highschool and before the big day where the three candidates gave speeches to the entire class in the gymnasium, the principal took us aside and told us all the responsibilities we'd have - fundraising, graduation, etc. He also said we'd be responsible for class reunions, and he emphasized the point that 10 years from then we'd have to organize the reunion. I chortled internally, cuz as if the world would still be around in 10 years - the USSR will have nuked us by then. I was class president, FYI. I put on my 25th reunion last summer.

ninotoreS posted:you're fringe GenX then Let's put some dates on this poo poo then. Gen X is the generation that follows the Boomers - this is the very definition of Gen X, and thus forms our judgements. The Boomers were 1945 - 1965. Gen X thusly starts in 1966. Where does it end is the question we've been debating. 1985 seems like a fairly good place to end it, though 1980 could also work. The word "generation" means something in this context, and it is roughly defined as the period of time from which a baby is born to the point they have a baby. 15-25 years approximately. Social events can skew this number, but only on the edges, as a generation is a generation, roughly.

i'd say 1985 could be considered the last year of generation x since as i said, we were the last ones to grow up without the internet or cellphones.

You pretty much answered your own question there. Besides, we'd just lived through motherfucking Reagan, you expect I should trust anyone from his admin to actually have good intentions?

As a 15 year old in the year 2000, you could technically produce a child and legitimately not have internet access or a cell phone. By 2003 these standards had changed.

Yeah I guess. I'm really pro-America so I was never scared by the idea of Hyperpower USA (that is, until I witnessed how the Republican party evolved into a pack of concentrated crazy and a legitimate threat to the survival of planet earth). Better dead then Red, afterall.

A metal and plastic disc certainly seems like it ought to be durable. I like that now durability is barely even a consideration now.
