Not sure I want to admit it… but I actually did laugh out loud and do totally get it.
@GryphonSK Also applies to all but the youngest millennials.
@DocRevan @GryphonSK I am an elder millennial and I loved it so much I shared it.
@GryphonSK You kids, when the 8-Track started to warble, you had to take a matchbook and shim that thing in there to keep the tape anywhere near the heads.
@SecularJeffrey @GryphonSK
Yeah I remember that....now I really feel ancient
@GryphonSK hahah..good one... 😁
@GryphonSK perfect! I even remember using pennies on a turntable arm to stop skips.
@GryphonSK I think that could be my Bon Jovi or Debbie Gibson…
@GryphonSK am I number 1️⃣? 2️⃣? 3️⃣?

@GryphonSK I may barely be GenX (as in, Reagan hadn't YET been sworn in, and in fact Carter was still president, tho it was the campaign year), but I made many mixed tapes.

And learned very quickly how to fix tapes I'd either farked up or the machines did. I was NOT allowed to damage my sister's tapes.

She once caught me listening to N.I.B. on headphones, singing aloud -- and ripped the headphones off before I gave my grandmother collywobbles. ;)

@GryphonSK Group type for transfusion Cr positive.
@GryphonSK too many lost on the operating table because I didn't act quickly enough.
@GryphonSK This is very timely as I was just showing my 20-something kid how to do this so we could listen to an old Enya tape 😁
@GryphonSK
Don't forget the:
Be kind and rewind
stickers on VHS tapes.
@GryphonSK Now that brings back memories! Lol!
@GryphonSK More than three ... Gen X will all get it!
@GryphonSK Took me a minute but my memory finally kicked in.
@GryphonSK I can't keep track of what ages all the various generational designations refer to... I'm at the very outer limits of boomers, born 64, needless to say I have only partial affinity to that generation.

@cohanf
Greatest Generation (born circa 1901 to 1924)
Silent Generation (circa 1925 to 1945)
Baby Boomers (circa 1946 to 1964)
Generation X (circa 1965 to 1985)
Millennial Generation (circa 1985 to 1996)
Gen Z (post-Millennial) (circa 1997 to 2012)

According to: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/generation-x-genx.asp

Generation X (Gen X): Between Baby Boomers and Millennials

Generation X was born between the mid-1960s and the early-1980s, after baby boomers and before millennials.
