From the 80s.. I remember Atari, single-speed Huffy 'BMX' bikes, suede Pumas with fat laces, Jams (those ugly Hawaiian print shorts), Lee jeans, The Beastie Boys, 'The Joshua Tree' by U2 and seeing my first real life pair of tits in 8th grade art class (courtesy of Rosa Santiago).
From the cusp of the 80s/90s... I remember the Berlin Wall being dismantled, Lithuania becoming a nation again (I am half Lit.), 'Disintegration' by The Cure and cybergenics...


Here is a snippet of info from wikipedia:

Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is a term used to refer to a generational cohort born after the baby boom ended, extending from the early-to-mid 1960s to late 1970s.

In the 1991 book Generations, William Strauss and Neil Howe call this generation the "13th Generation" and define the birth years as 1961 to 1981 (the lowest birth rate year for this generation was 1971).
