the gen x-er

miranda miranda

Taguig, Philippines

I came into the world in the late '70s. I played outdoors, listened to new-wave pop songs and watched Hanna-Barbera cartoons in the '80s. I became a fan of the X-Files, sported a pixie haircut and wore hideous grungy outfits in the 90s. I remember what I was doing when Kurt Cobain died. I witnessed Michael Jackson change color. I'm technically part of Generation Y, but I identify with X.
