When I'd get to kindergarten too early, the teacher let us watch some cable tv. It was usually showing the original xmen cartoon.

I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.

TBF, I quit my job when I saw that going down, and moved to the other coast days later.

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.
