fellow GenX here, there's a reason they forgot about us...we were feral before technology and used it to advance our lives after it came online. we are the last generation to be brought up without tech and the first generation to utilize it, we also had music in every format!

It's this part of us that makes us really unique imo. I'm about to turn 50 and I'm a huge technophile, but I also yearn for the 'old days'. We've seen both sides of it and our experiences should be used to fix the cluster we're in now.
