I was born in 68, Mulder's info says 61 and Scully's 64 so they are a bit ahead of me. But I guess we're in the same ball park. My childhood was the 70s and my teen into adult years were the 80s. Graduated college a semester early in fall 89 so that decade was an ending for me big time. The 90s were my carefree 20s which ended with marriage and a steady job and the beginnings of being "settled".

I'm amazed when I talk to kids or teens and realize they don't remember a life before cable, MTV, videogames, extreme sports, etc. I guess I'm a part of the slacker/generation X thing which I've read is totally out. I'm in the anti-baby boom. My generation got swallowed up between 2 larger ones and therefore our time to shine lasted less than 5 years, 1991-95. Thats the last time I felt hip musically. I hated 80s pop, nowadays I hear it and feel nostagic but at the time I thought it was crap. I listened to old rock and punk and trash metal. It was cool to be "underground". Then in 91, grunge and alternative became top 40 and I felt vindicated for liking that sort of thing until the powers that be beat it to death and killed it off in time for the new pop for baby boom part 2.

Well, thats OK. Never wanted to be hip anyway. Umm...was there a point to all this? I'm guessing your close to me perhaps? You don't have to be exact as thats rude of me to ask.
