Gen X didn't do ""ACID"", we did MONEY, Booze, Shrooms, Tattoos, a few did Ear Piercings, to show GAY or NOT GAY, and lots of Old Fast Cars with loud Music, too loud to save the eardrums....
The whole ACID thing is a Boomers 60s thing, but IF you really wanted to define GEN X, just throw up all the Money Symbols, that is the most solid Defining....
Greed is good probably is the best descriptor of our generation. We grew up during stagflation and came of age during Reagan. We were the driving force behind the dot com and Wolf of Wall Street era.
And for sure acid was around but not our thing. We drank Jack back with a beer chaser, smoked lots of pot and ate shrooms. Cocaine but not the crack. Our music was loud and metal. Motley Crue, Poison, Guns n Roses, Metallica but also hot into the 70s guitar rock like Zepplin, Deep Purple and AC/DC. We drove GTOs, SS Monte Carlos and Z28s. We wore Levis jackets with the collars flipped up and cowboy boots.
Still do....
Yup, 75 Monte Carlo Landau, Swivel Buckets, True Dual Mufflers with Long Glass Packs, Electric Everything, AM/FM Cassette, 8- 6x9 Speakers, and 4-10 inch round speakers....
I may have lost some hearing, but everyone knew when I pulled into town....
