    They experienced the beginning of the internet and computers becoming a main part of people’s lives

    They experienced the height of the cold war and experienced genuine concern for nuclear armageddon

    They experienced the beginning of grunge, hip hop music, heavy metal, MTV , and the peak of Michael Jackson

    They experienced 9/11, the dot com bubble burst, the housing crash of 2008, the pandemic of 2020
