The 1970s The Age of Independence: When kids roamed free, TV was on a strict schedule, and the music was on vinyl. I lived in the mid-west and found my movies on UHF channels, usually on Saturday afternoons. |
The 1980s The Cable Age: So many channels, so little that's good. We made mix tapes and bumped them in our Sony Walkman or car stereo. I was living in Baltimore or going to college in New York. |
The 1990s The Console Age: Alternative lifestyles, and the rise of the Digital Age. Our music was on CD, which you could buy new or used. We wore a lot of flannel and black jeans. I, myself, lived in San Franokyo. |
