These don't necessarily apply to us LOL The music that was so hip and cutting edge when we were in school is now played on "Adult Contemporary" (old fart) radio. We've traded in our ultra cool spandex and tight jeans for something more comfortable and ELASTIC. You watch teen movies from the 80s and think "I don't remember this film looking so grainy. That computer we thought was so high tech in "Wargames" is nothing compared to what kids are being taught with in elementary school today. Your friends can't party like it's 1999 anymore. They can now only party until it's like somewhere around 9 P.M. because they have to get their kids ready for school in the morning. We are starting to be able to identify with the lyrics to the Kenny Rogers song "Twenty Years Ago." This ones for us guys who played guitar in bands in the 80s--Now when we try to jump up in the air while playing guitar like Eddie Van Halen, our bones pop louder than our amps are. When your niece/nephew (or child) points to one of your old 45s and asks "What is this?" You can REALLY identify with that song by the Pursuit of Happiness "I'm An Adult Now".
