Despite what the media would lhave you believe, most generation Xers didn't give a shit about the Challenger. |
There really is no defining question like this for Xers. I think it's if they can remember the Reagan/Carter election. |
Um, Gen X person here. I didn't really care about it BEFORE it blew up, but I still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when it did. |
Unless you were in high school in the ‘70s and the ‘80s. |
Yes there is. Where were you when you found out Kurt Cobain was dead? I bet a lot of my fellow Gen Xers would agree. |
If you wanted a Thriller jacket as badly as I did, you are definitely Gen X. Plus, shoulder pads. |
Only if you were white. |
I absolutely remember when it blew up. We weren't following it beforehand, but it was a big deal when it blew up. |
Right, I said "A LOT," not "ALL." |
That's an we're too. Certainly not a boomer. People who were in high school post sexual revolution really do not belong in the same generation as those who were in HS pre sexual revolution. |
I would put the Berlin Wall coming down ahead of that. |
You quoted me and I would agree. |
Yeah, I remember where I was when the Challenger exploded and when hearing Kurt Chobani died, but these things were not as big of a deal to us as the JFK assanation seemed to be to people in the 60's. I certainly don't remember seeing anyone cry about it. On the news maybe, but not in real life. |
Absolutely. I would say the fall of communism was a really big deal. Especially since it all seemed to happen in the span of a few months. |
Generation Xers don't go around asking each other where they were when Kurt Chobani died. |
