Childhood is all about living life with no worries. We didn't realize it back then, but the slow afternoons listening to records in the living room while leafing through the pages of some old magazine were the best. Without phone notifications going off or the Internet breathing down our necks, growing up unplugged in the 70s and 80s gave Gen X kids a sense of freedom we could never reach again.

Although the digital era has its conveniences, Gen Xers remember a time where scraped knees, Otter Pops, and sandlot baseball games ruled our lives–and that simplicity is timeless. So if you're looking to stroll down memory lane with a couple of laughs and a meme list only the aging populous can appreciate, scroll onward for this week's collection of Gen X memes.

Like I said, the digital era's greatest perk lives on in Gen X nostalgia through hilarious memes.
