Don’t feel sorry for Gen X-1965 1970 Gen Xer’s got to experience many of those very acts during the early years of the 70’s and even into the 80’s. We also got to experience Punk (American and British) Arena Rock - The Who, Led Zepplin, , AC/DC, Van Halen, Boston, Iron Msiden, Black Sabath (Ozzy Ozbourne), Blondie, New Wave with Paul and Ringo John, Aretha and Tina Turner, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Etc. So don’t great Boomer. We have been blessed with watching or listening to such a great mix of music and we grew up loving our country and proud of our WW 2 and Korea and Vietnam vets, you remember your fathers and mothers. So don’t feel bad for us Gen-Xers-we even listened to these amazing performances on vinyl oh I forgot Queen and Elvis.
This comment is seriously flawed in every aspect and it proves my point that GenX’ers wish they were around then (including yourself). I was born in the 50s and you’re trying to claim those acts as if they were part of your generation?
Many of those acts I mentioned such as Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Velvet Underground, Ray Charles, Etta James, The Stones and many more peaked before your generation even existed so what in the hell are you rewriting bs for? The average GenX’er who was born in the early 70s (like 1970) practically missed out on the 70s. They weren’t old around when Stevie Wonder peaked or Joni Mitchell peaked
You mentioned Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. They peaked in the 70s young’un... You didn’t even existed during Little Richard, Elvis and Chuck berry’s heyday which were the 50s so there was no point in you mentioning this.
You were born in 1967, you were too young to even remember what was happening in the earliest part of the 70s.
Your comment was flawed.
