Ok so its lame to even define a generation. I never felt comfortable with the name Gen X or Slacker Generation. Even The first label I remember reading about my generation “Gen 13″ after the book of the same title around 92′ 93′ didn’t sit well. Hell I’m not even sure I like Video Game generation. It sure fits the age group. The age group being born in 69′ to 79′. Me being in the middle in 74′ You could also connect Star Wars to this but that’s a little narrow compared to video games. I know there are gamers older and for sure younger but we did it first. It was our hard earned quarters that came from cutting grass for 5 bucks. In a seven eleven stacking quarters on the top of the machine marking you place in line to play. To show your skills good or bad in front of a crowd. For the most part it was not a team sport. Which connects to skateboarding. Anyone over the age 35 was out of high school and becoming an adult when video games got popular.
