Gen X is the last generation ever to have feral childhoods, often spent outside, as far as our bikes could take us and entertained with a limited number of records, magazines, FM radio stations, and a handful of broadcast channels. Much of life revolved around scarcity, not food or fuel shortages, but the simple reality of a limited amount of options. I can’t imagine many kids with unlimited access to Fortnite, Roblox, and porn spend much time hunting around the woods for a perfect stick.
