I can relate to some of them. I was 13 when 1990 rolled around.

I didn't learn a damned thing in school. schoolhouse rock was a tv show. LOL I'm well aware of that. Those videos taught more about anything than the California public school system.

* ...you're pissed that you couldn't really participate in the 60's, pissed that you were a part of the 70's, think you wasted too much time doing stupid, meaningless things in the 80's, and still have no clue what the 90's are all about..."
Yet, at the same time you have "starting to dread your 30th birthday". 40th birthday is more appropriate.
I'm 33, and half that stuff doesn't apply to me. Maybe I'm still too busy singing the "Conjunction Junction" or "I'm Just A Bill" from Schoolhouse Rock. Or the annoying "19th Amendment" song. (That's the one that gave women the right to vote, to you non-Americans. Yes, they couldn't vote until 1920.)
MTV begat all kinds of video shows: Friday Night Videos, Nick Rocks Video To Go, and the very popular Radio 1990 on the USA Network.
Most 80s children voted for their first president in 1992. I picked Bob Kerrey to run for Democrat, but he didn't get the nomination. So I went with Senior Bush. Compared to some of the clowns we've had since Kennedy, "41" wasn't that bad. (That "no new taxes" crap, then taxing us killed any chance of re-election.)
Don't forget, "Must See TV" was on NBC Thursday nights. The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers and Night Court all on one evening.
