Yeah sorry, my generation's really lucky.
I was born in '80 which I think was perfect. Had my hands on the NES at 6yo, got to experience summers that were just bike rides and wandering trails and being home by dark. Was raised with an Apple II/e up but had dial up later. Had the classic Sunday morning cartoons. The explosion of comic book popularity, Todd McFarlane's comic store was in my small town. Worked at a video rental store for a summer. Went to a ton of concerts in the Seattle area in the 90's, back when there'd be smoke-filled dive bars with live music. Had a pager in like '96, was easy to say I couldn't find a payphone. Good times.
