Actual roll-down car windows. I would be driving down the highway leaning over to my passenger side to roll down that window! |

Learning cursive handwriting and phonics
MTV was just music videos Manual hand cranked pencil sharpeners Neon colors Feel like our childhood was so free and safe. I knew all my neighbors and we spent time together. Feels like the days of riding your bike and coming home when the street lights come on are gone

+2. I feel like the Millennials are so impassive and self absorbed. Someone could be murdered in front of them and they wouldn't look up from their phone. Or they would tape it, but wouldn't lend a hand to help. We X'ers are basically forgotten right now. We need to be louder, I think. |

Coca-Cola rugby shirts.
Those barrettes made with woven ribbons. Friendship pins. Cinnamon toothpicks. Cropped pants and cropped top matching sets. |

The firm vinyl bench-style back seat, with seat belts that only went across your waist, that you had to tighten yourself, with those metal buckles that would be searing hot on a summer day. |

| I am a millennial woman, and I find Gen X guys irresistible (or at least the younger ones from that generation). |

| Long trips down 95 in the summer. 95 was not all the way built in NC so all the traffic was forced to a side roads. No devices or screen time ...just a lot of time to kill looking out the window. My old sister would put up signs saying "help we are being kidnapped". We were in a VW Van- 4 kids, a dog, my parents and we were towing a hobiecat. People would just drive by and shake their heads. |

| Being on the beach on the 4th of July in South Caroline. Looking up and down the beach and seeing 5 other people...that's it for the whole beach(Hilton head island). Oh and we would put coconut oil on for tanning. |

This post made me LOL because it's the stereotypical 'most miserable generation' comment. |
