32 Childhood Snapshots From the 1980s Sure to Stir up Some Nostalgic Emotions

I'm not saying that GenX is the best generation, I'm just saying we could kick any other generation's collective a$$. We were (and still are) the most resilient, toughest, no-nonsense generation this world has ever seen. We were left to raise ourselves, and we spent most of our childhood doing things that would make your hair stand on end. These is an entire horror sub genre of 80s kids on bikes going to places they shouldn't be in and doing stuff that would make the devil do a double take.

You might think that older generations were even tougher, but here is the kicker - We were the first generation to use computers and surf the Internet, We practically invented it (you're welcome by the way), So we have new-world know-how along with old-world toughness and resilience. That means we can navigate the information highway as well as survive by ourselves in the woods.
