What "Generation" are you?

Weasel · Post by **Weasel** » Thu Jul 25, 2002 9:54 pm

The 60's was the love generation.

The 70's was disco.

I have no idea what my generation was? 80's punk? Hair? Lost?

90's was Generation X.

00's unknown as of now.

Which one do you fall in?

I would say I straddle the 80's and 90's, but I fit more in the 80's.

How to define the eighties......hmmmmmm good question.

I give you THIS definition

Well, it was me in the 80's anyway

I grew up in the 90's, but for some crazy reason, I identify more with the 80's. Or atleast I liked the 80's more than the 90's. Im still trying to figure out 00.

I became "aware" in the nineties. The '00s have yet to come and go so my generation could change.

Weasel · Post by **Weasel** » Thu Jul 25, 2002 10:23 pm

I would call this part of my eighties experience.

R. Reagon as John Wayne

(sp?) Breakfastclub...hair bands...Thoughts of Nuclear war none

Leather and spikes and everything nice.

@Weasel, yeah, wasn't it great?

And I love the look the ladies had in the 80's. Like Hair Metal video come true

*Plus, the Washington Redskins were actually GOOD then*

Do you define "my generation" as the one wherein I was in my teens, and therefore the one when I was most involved in popular culture? That would make me a 70's guy.

I think its the Y Generation after Generation X....

@Weasel and BS...

...count me in.

Punk Rock and New Wave Music were tops in my country during that time...

...and yeah, you just gotta love those psychedelic hair...

...while the women get loads of hairpsray.

Actually, the 80's was Gen. X, the 90's is Gen Y.

Born 1970. Musically addicted to the 60's (Woodstock RULES !) and in my teens - first Punk, then Heavy Metal - then I got stuck on Blues (f.example: J.L.H. & S.R.V.

! - If you have to ask, you don't have the right to know

. )

That makes me some kind of Gen "VWXY" ...

NO worries,

Born 1983, but the generation I fit in with best is the 60s.

Thanks for clearing that up, Aegis. Generation X-guy here, then (I remember such ghastly abominations as Dallas and Dynasty - let's leave it at that

).

I always ended up presuming i would have been better in another decade but the truth is those decades were all full of problems just like our own. The sixties appears to be the "free love" period but it was also a time rife with struggles for independence, there were wholsale riots and other demonstrations, on the outside it may seem like a period of time we all want to be in, but sadly just like any other generation it is steeped in problems. There was also a very strong establishment back then, extremely oppressive.

I always thought i would have wanted to be part of the 50's, then i learned about the massive weight of oppression and the lack of civil liberties and the over-bearing establishment and decided i am happy where i am.

Anyway (

) i would say my generation is the 90's, i am not really that aware of what i did in the 80's even though i was born '82.

Like I said, I'd probably have fitted in far better back then...

Born in '76, don't remeber the 80's (for which I'm quite thankful) so I'd have to say I'm from the 90's gen. Too early to tell what this decade is like, so I might get back to you all about it in 8 years.

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 6:00 am

Bah! I'd rather raise hell then be called a Gen X/Y however it works. If its judged via music tastes, then I live for today

Obsidian · Post by **Obsidian** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 11:14 am

Im thankful to be ignorant of most pop culture. But, I guess I join Aegis in the ranks of Gen Y.
Muscially, I like the punk from the last 5-10 years.

@ Ode,

Like I said, I'd probably have fitted in far better back then...

The cloud of green haze that surrounds you wouldn't have seemd quite so obvious I suppose....

Kayless · Post by **Kayless** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 11:38 am

In spirit I'm a child of the 70's baby!

By birthdate I'm somewhere between Gen X and Y (D.O.B. 1981).

No, it's judged by when the majority of your teen years were, usually, not when you were born, Generation X were the teenagers of the 90s. But that doesn't mean I like being called a Gen Xer.

And when it comes to music... I like 60s stuff, some 70s, mostly not 80s, and some 90s and 00s.

I think I would have quite liked the 60s though.

Do you have any photos of you in flares and an afro?
