[quote=Anonymous]Early 80s.  We aren't Gen X.  I never really listened to the music that people born in the 70s did.  Never really watched the shows that they did. Was born after all of the famous baseball players they grew up with had pretty much retired.  I was still a very young kid when Wayne Gretzky retired and barely knew his career. I was still too young to watch a ton of Michael Jordan in his prime.

Sports players I really recognize are players like Tom Brady, Emmett Smith, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Randy Moss, Lebron, Tiger, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Messi, Mariano Rivera, Arod, Eric Lindros, Sergei Federov and the Russian 5, the New Jersey Devils dynasty.

I think the easiest way to tell by far is also by video game console that defined your life.  I think PS1 and especially PS2/Xbox had way more impact on those us born in the early 80s than Atari, Sega, and SNES.  N64 straddles both generations, but PS2 is our defining system.  Gen x just really never picked up PS2 as much. [/quote]
