35 Things You Don't Understand If You Were Born After 1990!

We associate Generation X with grunge music most of all. But before the techno heads start protesting that they can’t relate to that classification at all: Generation X actually stands for all the people who were born in the years after the Baby Boomers. So that’s all the people who were born between the 60s and the early 80s. And this Generation X was defined by much more than just 90s grunge. It represents the time before the millennium, when technological innovations changed our lives forever. A life where we weren’t constantly reachable, without virtual worlds and total interconnectedness between complete strangers. As members of this generation we had very different childhoods from those born in subsequent years. So that’s why none of those people born later will have any recollection or understanding of any of the following images. Sorry, dear Gen Z: Only members of Generation X will understand the following 35 pictures!
