GenX 1965-1980.
Ummm. Firmly in the middle of GenX here, born in 1972. Yes ma’am we got under our desks in kindergarten, first, second, third and I am thinking forth as well. Under the desk for everything except a fire drill. Bad weather, get under your desk. OMG the commie’s (Cold War era) may bomb us, drills. They for some reason decided that sitting all lined up in the hallway was safer some time around my starting of middle school. The Cold War was winding down.
@sarah conner wrong. 1984 baby here, and I did all these things that gen x did. Pockets of “gen x” places still existed into the 90’s
@mumbo kumbo….😳seriously?? For walking to school??? Times have certainly drastically changed and not for the better. What they see as abuse and neglect is absolutely ridiculous! Without the supposed abuse and neglect we end up with a world full of sissies and Karen’s. I hate the current times no I loathe the current times!
Born in ’73, never did a bomb drill in TX, but my mom did as a kid. lol
Everything else is spot on.
That’s true about the PE teachers lol
I miss nothing from the 80’s. The cars were garbage, the fashion was horrid, and the hair was huge. But I do miss the how free we were. I would hop on my bike, ride into town at 8am, ride around all day, and be home for dinner at 6pm, no questions asked. I once put on 52 miles in a day, plus went swimming for a couple of hours. I wish I had that energy back!
Gen X years are actually 1961 – 1981. The 13th generation since the founding of the USA.
Yes, my middle school had a stage in the cafeteria.
Take me back! Loved the 80’s. Good music too.
Some GenX used desks. We still had occasional bomb drills even.
In all actuality January 24, 1984 is the last day of Gen X whether you believe it or not. I was born in 82 and I do remember the 80’s
Who ever invented
Butterfly Bandages made a killing back then. Now ER’s are crowded because they twisted an ankle.
Born 1963 different time out after breakfast parents didn’t need me til dinner good times
Gen X didn’t use school desks for bomb shelters, that’s a boomer thing.
We just accepted we’d all die in 30 minutes if WW3 started.
Made my day lived it loved it. Born in 70 And yes, air raid drills under the desk.
I’m an tail end GenXer, 1979. I’ll tell ya, I remember almost every single thing in here and I have to say thank you to whoever put it all together. Man, this made my heart and soul feel good for a bit.
The 80s and 90s were the best time s in my life. Early to mid 00s? Ehhh not bad. Everything after? Gnarly. I’d give anything to go back again.
Anyone remember GLOW IN THE DARK key chains? They usually had businesses logos on them. I had dozens! Whenever I went to a local business,I would ask for one!
Born in 69 kid through 70s,teen in 80s
Remember it all and loved every second take me back to a much better time were we lived everyday not like today hiding behind electronic screens smh
#21 I always thought this was a baby boomer thing. My boomer parents talked about doing those drills in school, but I never had to. Maybe the eldest Gen Xers did too? (I was born 1970)
All of those 80’s couples were awesome, but if you picked anyone but Westley and Buttercup, you need therapy.
Good times and lots of good memories. I still have scar’s to prove I’m impressed. I’m still alive from everything I did, this brought back lots of good memories and laughter 😃
Was an 80’s teen. I miss those days! Life in general was better and we weren’t a bunch of sissies
This was great!! The Captain Crunch scars, making decisions with everyone‘s foot in a circle, kids piling in a car & no seat belts… great memories! Thank you!!
He’s a millennial but the majority of these things were also in the 90s, so he relates to them. He never said he was a Gen X.
You are so right… These are like a weird mixtape of the 2 generations
Best time to be alive, 70’s and 80’s.
#41. I was once caught playing with matches, and my punishment was to be grounded from watching The Price is Right for a week. I was absolutely devastated
But the 80s was the best time to be a kid/teen I would never trade my memories
Ennie Minnie minie more catch a tiger by its toe or bubble gum in a dish how many pieces do you wish
Number 50. They had camper shells?! Lucky. I would have to ride in the open bed of the pickup while wet and cold from playing in the lake.
@Charlie if you were born in 1984 you are a millennial and not Gen X. 1965-1980. Even if you had been born in 80 or 84 you would have been a baby or 4 years old and never experienced anything that Gen X saw or did.
I was born in 84,i think 50 of the 54 hit a soft spot in me, God knows I miss them days, everything was so simple back then
I graduated 1982 but remember having lunch 3rd period. Always wondered where they got their thinking in making up schedules. I miss the 80s.
Nowadays this would be abuse, neglect and child endangerment. I’m not disagreeing wholeheartedly but the things I learned were invaliluable. Not to mention the confidence. My son can’t even make a dr appt without me, he’s 30. My neighbor got talked to by the police for her 10 yo walking to school…
GAWD, YES!! TAKE ME BACK TO THE 80’S AND LEAVE ME THERE!
Made me laugh and Ling for the past…omg
