[quote=Anonymous]1972. I feel so genx. Spent the 70s part of my life on a rural farm. My parents dropped out for a bit after my dad got back from Vietnam. Spent most of my early childhood in the back of a VW bus or listening to Kris Kristofferson records on the hifi. Hitchhiking with my mom when it broke down and then having my mom tell me terrifying stories about why I should never hitchhike. In 1980, we moved to town, I got a bunch of fair isle sweaters. Elementary school memories: standing outside in the rain at school when we had a special assembly after the iranian hostages were released. Hearing a news story on npr about gay men in California who were getting a strange kind of cancer and feeling inexplicably terrified. I was a junior high student in NH watching the Challenger when it blew up. I saw Slacker at the theatre the year I graduated from high school, and when Reality Bites came out I thought it seemed totally fake because nobody who made $400 a week would be complaining about money (my rent was only $220). A guy got stabbed across the street as I was moving into my first apartment (so many of my 90s memories seem to involve some version of "where we saw the body").
