So, you are saying, my being born in 1964 makes me a ‘60s kid?
Sorry, I don’t remember much about the surfin’ culture, original Beatlemania, the Hippie culture or the Beatnick culture.
I was a kid when Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory came out. I was still a kid when Star Wars came out. I dabbled with the first Home Computers and Computer toys, Scholastic Books’ Dynamite magazine. I watched Happy Days, Born Free, and The Waltons when I was a kid. I was affected for life by T.V. horror movies like Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. I was a’ 70s kid.
When I was a kid watching T.V. riding my bike, and listening to the radio, and going to various day- and sleepover camps, the Hippie culture was very retro and those ‘60s T.V. shows were in reruns and obviously from an earlier time.
Most of the 90’s kids in the camp programs I worked with as an adult, the kids were born between 1985 and 1989. The ‘90s kids I worked with in the 1980s were born in the mid to late 1970s, and still have an affinity for the music of the 1980s.
What you are is where you were when. The trends that influenced you in childhood makes you who you are, not things that happened when you were a baby, or three years old.
