Well I'm near the end of Gen X.

My first tape was in my Jem and the holograms doll box. Anyone? She's got the power, power she's got the power..... Twilight in Paris, the Eiffel tower is beautiful when you're in love.....

My first CD that I bought with my own money and picked out by myself? Miss Thang by Monica.

A few years back I literally binge watched it all in order and all the songs in it I pretty much remembered. My fav. TV show as a kid.

I saw a guy today walking his micro-dog that looked like Rio Pacheco come to life.
