I remember watching the Berlin Wall coming down on the news. I don't remember the Challenger explosion (edit: though I was alive for it, to be clear). I was out on my own during 9/11, worried as hell about being drafted. Whether or not I am gen-x depends upon which of the dates for its end you choose.

My childhood is having Carameldansen be a popular meme, and then having that promptly taken away.
