Continued from >123442445

Can Gen X tell us how things used to be, before the internet and 911, how was growing up for you?

Still wondering if today's kids sneak out at night like I used to back in the 80's.

We played stickball, and saw vagina in 3D in exchange for letting girls watch us piss.

Ye olden times

Also, Reagan openly mocked queers on television, and rat packing Iranian students was an playground activity when the Ayatola was talking mad shit about USA.

Rode my motocross bike on the road in rural Colorado
Pulled over for drinking and driving and the cops just told me to go home.
We still had a party line, shared with other homes. We spied on the other callers, but it was alway boring stuff.
Horrible radio stations - no Mtv (it was cool then) - We had to get cassette tape of good music which was heavy metal or new wave.
Dirt roads that I drove like a rally car driver.
Basically MORE FREEDOM

>Still wondering if today's kids sneak out at night like I used to back in the 80's.

I don't have any kids because I'm a degenerate manwhore.

But, my niece and nephew have tried to sneak out while visiting me.
Funny enough, some "monster in the trees" scared the shit out of them and sent them running back in through the front door.

Gen Z don't know shit 'bout my GPS.

...

It was pretty cool, still quite commercialised though. Merchandising from masters of the universe, transformers, mask etc was crazy.
We were early adopters in my family, handicams, ataris, PC, VCR, the lot. Satellite TV in the 90s, watching MTV. Jew shit like The Real World, some spicy fag with AIDS died and it was sad.

Toys were good, everything was more expensive, foreign holidays were epic, what else do you want to know?

It wasn't that much different.

everyone watched tv all the time

So are whiffle ball bats still a think or is it all that soft nerf foam stuff?

My brother and I use to whail on each other with whiffle ball bats as a kid. Even tried to kill a bee with one and lost because the bee stung me.

Only at night and on Saturday mornings when they showed boss ass cartoons all morning

>wake up at 7am
>woody fucking woodpecker be on
>grab a bowl of Nintendo Cereal and just love life

>Merchandising from masters of the universe, transformers, mask etc was crazy.

Don't forget GI Joe, Care Bears, My Pretty Pony, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, CHiPs, etc.
The 80s was all about merchandising.

It's definitely more Nerf these days. Haven't seen a Whiffle Ball and bat in years.

>We still had a party line, shared with other homes.

Most Millennials won't have any idea what you're talking about.
Their entire life is digital.

They might as it is kinda like a group Skype chat.

song about jews?

youtu.be/SXshKYzIDVU

You had to listen to the radio, and it only played good stuff maybe once an hour. The only way to get news was the TV. Cars still had carburetors and weren't all FWD.

Boomers were still the assholes you know them to be though. They were more powerful and you couldn't do anything about it. Like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

>it is kinda like a group Skype chat.

Except it cost $49 a month and you had no choice about being included other than yelling "Fuck off, Jason, the line is being used." and kicking his ass on Monday.

I just like to say how quickly everything has turned I went all the way through college and there was no feminism white guilt social justice none of that and it's all unraveled since then.. my kids were taught the opposite of everything I was.

t. early genxer

I didn't forget them, there are just so many!
Jews were jewing hard.

Best drugs ever. Cocaine was cheap, purer with a cleaner high and ecstacy was clean MDMA tabs for $5.

Remember the whiteman channel pol?

Remember waking up to fishing and lynching jews and blacks with Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston before BASSMASTERS came on?

Huh. These days you let a computer tell you how to get somewhere. Back in the day, you had this big ass map you used to navigate with.

I remember taking my first cross country trip and flipping back and forth in the road map with the other hand on the wheel.

>80s
>getting my own little boombox with casette for my bday was top tier gift
>summers playing in our old barns
>too hot to go to bed, go play hide and seek outside with only the full moon to see by
>camping in the backyard
>go picking strawberries, blueberries, etc

Rural summertime was GOAT

The operator would ask us our number when we made "long distance call" that was about 30 mile. We used to use the phone number of the phone companies service department. So they were billed for my calls.

>These days you let a computer tell you how to get somewhere. Back in the day, you had this big ass map you used to navigate with.

I got laid a few times just from asking directions.
Chicks worry less when they think you won't be around after fucking.

I forgot to mention.

Knowledge was earned. You had to go to the library to find out shit.

Tapes and walkmans meant for the most part you listened to whole albums.

If you missed a show you missed a show. the VCR was hit and miss.

We had a common culture in Music and Tv. Those songs from the 80s and 90s are song that everyone knew and heard. Nowdays i have no idea whats in the charts. beacuse there are som many different charts and muscial genres and sub gernes. Same with TV we had four channels. So everyone watched the same thing.

When Videotapes came out and you went to your lcoal store of blockbuster there was choice but again, eveyone were familar witht he tiles.. even the striaght to video chuck norris and JCVD flicks.

Now we have no common culture.

1986 I bought an old lambretta 150 for £100, insurance for £25, got given a crash hat and off I went.

Off to the coast to huge scooter rallies,where 10,000+ other scooterists would gather for a piss up weekend next to the sea.

Had some good times and some crashes, my mate had a row with his sister on the rally site & burned her tent to the ground.

There's nothing like that now for teens, everything is so controlled, can you imagine even 500 teens turning up somewhere now? there would be panic and CS gas sprayings, parents would be weeping.

the freedom of the 80's is the thing I remember best, before a camera was watching you everywhere you went,rode, walked or drove.

so many memories itt.

in the 70s and 80s all normal people (non hippies) in switzerland were all AMERICA FUCK YEAH!

first mcdonalds opened in 76, lefties hated it, saw it as imperialist bullshit. still do to this day. in 82 some anarcho antifa fags firebombed it, pic related. the 80s were dominated by constant street fights between the cops and anarchos/lefties. it was pretty brutal.

born in 72, went to mcdonalds the first time when i was 5, best fucking thing ever. hippie parents of the other kids tried to tell us how we support americas wars if we eat there, fuck them, if rice farmers have to die so we can eat hamburgers, so be it.

my cousins all had big ass muscle cars camaros, dodge challenger, willies jeeps. we were the coolest kids in da hood. america was the coolest shit ever, had a big sticker on my school bag with US flag and AMERICA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT! written underneath. in the 80s i had my first cherry coke, we all felt like americans drinking that disgusting shit.

in the 90s this changed, america now was the evil bad psychos who want to destroy the world. more and more commie bullshit creeped into mainstream culture.

Use a road atlas mane

What the fuck did you just write? Lrn2english

I worry how much of a SJW Kurt Cobain would be today if he was young and alive

fuck off kid.

Fuck i forgot about long distance.

I live 19 miles from Boise and it was a long distance charge to call there.

Does anyone remember pogo balls?

How many people had a huge countach poster?

He would be for gun control.

>in the 80s i had my first cherry coke, we all felt like americans drinking that disgusting shit

LEL
Cherry Coke came from the 1950s, you just got it 30 years later.

There is nothing new under the sun. Nothing.

Millennials like to talk about raves and music and drugs. That shit was done and redone thousands of years ago.

What kids call raves now are nothing close to what was going on 30 years ago, influenced by centuries of parties.

youtube.com/watch?v=3dGj9h8ggCc

"Modern" raves are continuations of 80s raves, which are continuations of generations of Bacchanalias.

Is growing up in the 90s still considered being part of gen X?

from what I remember:
>you just went out and wandered around to find friends. no mobile phones, no instant messaging. maybe you phoned your best buddy, decided on an approximate area to meet and just went out. no nagging or checking on you by your parents, because they literally didn't know where you were. they could assume
>playing video games was more enjoyable. there was 100 times less information about everything in general. I had a games magazine(printed) subscription that published quality journalistic articles about games. but they didn't do any spoilers at all. that was fantastic.
>you immersed yourself more in things. less distractions, less ADHD fuel. playing vidya meant playing vidya, not pausing the game every 30 seconds to check discord, your phone or refresh a cp thread on Sup Forums
>listening to music mainly meant picking something for the mood and going with it, not endlessly skipping through tens of thousands of songs on Spotify
>way less political agenda and propaganda being pushed around. more stupidity in general, less pretentious pseudo-intellectual shits teaching you how to live your life
>much slower pace in life.

Kek

>I worry how much of a SJW Kurt Cobain would be today

How is it that Kurt still looks better today than you, Courtney?

>you just got it 30 years later.
i know but back then we didn't get a lot of american stuff. we had no idea things like that existed. we believed all of america is like nyc.

i started playing baseball in 86, people would laugh at us and calling it american mikado (first one who moves loses), still play in the oldtimer league.

Gen Xer here.

One thing that I truly feel bad for as the age of the internets dawned on us. Now im not talking about 56K days. I am talking lan and above.

I do think social networks are slowlyl destroying people. Back in my day when you had a disagreement, a fight, a bad break up etc it was not broadcast across social media. You didn't have social media as an indication of your status in life.

In my day yes you could look around and see that johhny had a nice car and maybe had a better life than you. However you didn't have everything blasted in your face 24/7.

If somone wanted to get under your skin or fuck with you they would literally have to come to your house.

You got updates from REAL friends from actually seeing them or contacting them via awesome cordless phones (kek).

Now adays people are offing themselves because they are harrassed via the internets, they are offing themselves because of the vast loneliness that is the social media age provides (for the most part).

I am glad i grew up before the internet. I was 17 when i first discovered IRC and hung out on various efnet channels, perused bbs boards etc.
I remember those beginning days of my internet experience being so pure and enjoyable. Frustratingly slow, but full of discoveries. The same kind of discoveries i had as a kid actually playing outside, when everything was magic.

Live music was cheaper, most national touring groups never charged more than $15 a ticket. Only legacy acts, like the stones or Paul Mcartney could charge $100.

Now you have middling bands like the black keys, Beck or ween wanting to charge $80+ for general admission in a 5,000 seat theatre.

Probably because millennials don't buy CDs

comfy picture, desu

here's a feels story

>grandpa died mid 90s
>couple months before, visit him in hospital
>tells me he'll die soon
>tell him i'll miss him and that the world will be less fun without him
>he tells me: user, the world is not fun anymore, let me tell you this
>back in the day we didn't have all that tv crap, we played outside, we had one woman, one job, we had real friends
>i was laying in the dirt with my friends for the germans to invade, these were the good times user
>sorry to say, but i don't want to live in your world user, i had a great live and i rather die than to be young today

back then i thought he didn't understand our world, now i know he did. fuck.

I want to go back lads

>im not talking about 56K days

Sissy.
300 baud best baud.

>Now adays people are offing themselves because they are harrassed via the internets, they are offing themselves because of the vast loneliness that is the social media age provides (for the most part).

Mostly, they're offing themselves because they're faggots. Same as through the rest of history, except Romans didn't have Snapchat to tell you that their little faggot Cockinmyassicus offed himself last night.

And yet, the same number of people care.

I'm 42. Things were just not as complicated. It wasn't so much easier just not as much choice. Three TV stations here, no one really cared about Channel 4 when it came along. Men were men, women were women, clear distinct paths of work. Pakis never kicked off, Iraq and Iran war on TV and Afghanistan-Soviet war, but people here didn't really care, the ME was just 'something on the telly'.

JCVD AWOL saw it 1990 from some dodgy video store called 'Video World', they used to copy tapes in the back room. Fucking great those days.

Going to school in the 80's I spent half my days waiting for the inevitable nuclear war.

there was a tv show about nuclear war & it showed the town I lived in then as a target so that the wind would blow radiation across to london, I'm sure this constant fear turned gen x crazy.?

Also a HUGE amount of people I knew from those days are now dead from drug od's or suicide.
In 30 years time an elderly genXer will be a rare sight.

...

I am curious for people who grew up with the internet, 6 billion tv channels etc.

Do you ever wish you could experience life before all of it?

Do you ever wish you could have experienced the rise of the internets?

>In 30 years time an elderly genXer will be a rare sight.

From the last thread:

>gen x often put all the fault on babyboomers but have done jack shit to change anything babyboomers did wrong

There are very few Gen X in politics, because the Boomers hold on to everything until they suck the life out of it.
Plus, most of us just don’t give a shit anymore.

Gen X is a tiny group who are also the lowest reproducing generation in all of US history.

We were born in the middle of boomer bullshit—early Boomers were the shitty 60s/70s hippies, late Boomers became the fucking yuppies of the 80s.

We’re basically irrelevant, hence having almost no impact on politics.

Boomers stuck it hard to every generation who followed, for fuckssakes our current president is still a Boomer. And the next few will likely be as well.
Trump? Boomer.
Obama? Boomer.
George W. Bush? Boomer.
Bill Clinton? Boomer.
George HW Bush? Greatest Generation.
Ronald Reagan? Greatest Generation.
Jimmy Carter? Greatest Generation.
Gerald Ford? Greatest Generation.
Richard Nixon? Greatest Generation.
Lyndon Johnson? Greatest Generation.
John F. Kennedy? Greatest Generation.

The Greatest Generation birthed the Boomers who birthed the Millennials.

Gen X is stuck in the middle, and greatly outnumbered in both directions. Millennials have quickly become as bad as their parents with their cancerous SJW bullshit: purple hair, slutwalks, safe spaces, 37 genders, dog fucker rights, pedo rights, white people are ebil raciss, etc.

Was that 'When the Wind Blows' user?

>cordless phones, walk around house/yard while bull shitting
>no call waiting, get busy signal trying to call friends
>using phone book to look up peoples phone numbers to prank call
>Sheetz had the best hotdogs around
>Arcade games were still way better than N.E.S. or Atari, never had enough fucking quarters to play much
>Pizza Hut book club, get a free personal pan
>Allowed to leave school at lunch time to go home to eat
>Watching Saturday morning cartoons were the best while eating Life cereal with tons of white sugar on it.
>Everybody went to church Sunday morning
>Roller skating on Friday nights at the roller lodge- lot of arcade game there
>Only about 12 channels on T.V. 2,10 chan. same 6,12 chan. the same. Thank God for H.B.O. how did we spend so much time watching it?
>3 Liters of pop
>Generic isle in grocery store, literally everything had black and white label
>Toy guns looked real
>Merica 1980's I miss you

>37 genders
you're not up to date bro, it's 63 now.

apath.org/63-genders/

very true my man.
I could name 20+ gen x who are now dead, we are thin on the ground already.

>. Millennials have quickly become as bad as their parents with their cancerous SJW bullshit: purple hair, slutwalks, safe spaces, 37 genders, dog fucker rights, pedo rights, white people are ebil raciss, etc.

Millennials with all that shit are so much like the leftist boomer schoolteachers I had to suffer with during the 80's.

No, it was a tv documentary.
when the wind blows.. I had forgotten that one.

>leftist boomer schoolteachers
i was lucky, always had very conservative teachers. all of them were officers in the military. in high school there was only one lefty teacher in our school, he looked like a mad professor and everybody made fun of him. he was considered to be a bad teacher and was bullied by all other teachers.

We probably knew each other.

>leaving Friday afternoon and not coming back until Sunday evening
>woodsies all weekend
>cops never cared so long as you weren't driving
>forest service never cared as long as you used dead trees for the bonfire
>parents never cared as long as you were "camping"
>having enough firepower, in your truck, at school (which was unlocked with the keys in the ignition) to take over a small country

Good times.

>it's 63 now.

Of course it is.
Fucking Millennials.

>3 Liters of pop
>flag

I became an internet addict in 1997 at college, round the age of 21.
Worst decision of my life. I currently have a hemorrhoid the size of a walnut thanks in part to excessive sitting. Also no waifu.. too edgy and socially inept for girls.

The only good thing about the internet is that I've learned a huge amount of useless things from it.
It's time to 'cut' the cord though - maybe go from 60 hours a week to 8 hours. It's like any addiction I guess.. just bad

anybody followed the ninja craze? we all had nunchacks, shurikens, balisong knifes and other totally useless weaponry which we took to school, nobody gave a shit. the rich kids also had ninja dresses and the funny shoes/socks where the big toe was separated. it was fucking ridiculous.

we had one decent teacher, he was from NZ, he tried to teach us to fill in forms like driving licence applications, how to wire a plug, useful daily stuff.
they got rid of him.

other teachers forced us to read books about how "My best mate is a paki."

Family pizza night, 3liters were not consumed by family of 6 people. Still lots left over for the whole weekend. Always went flat before we could finish it

Fight Club nailed it when Tyler Durden called us the middle children of history.

Boomers have killed the golden goose for sure, and many are outliving us GenXers as we slowly fade into oblivion

Ninja craze was alive in America. My neighbor had full ninja outfit complete with the goofy ninja toe shoes. Lots of ninja/karate movies in the States at that time

my kids have a "feelings calendar" in school. everyday they have to write how they "feel" that day. on friday afternoon the have "class council". the only thing they do is talk about how they can make school more "inclusive". i tell them that's all bullshit and they agree, so far, but i'm a little worried to be honest.

Somebody wrote recently about how the media ignores gen x.
Majority of tv and media in general is made for boomers and millenials

I had a friend that had a full ninja costume as well. I was so jealous.. he only wore it one time that I know of however.. was a total jock and is built like arnold today

>Boomers have killed the golden goose for sure

Boomers are still balls deep in the golden goose.
Ask any Millennial still trying to get a job.

Yeah I used to when I was younger

Mdma tabs cost like $1.50-$2 lol

I remember him having shoes just like these. He did however have the whole get up complete with weapons. I was jelly

kek... forced us to read books about how "My best mate is a paki."

Millennials have a better shot at gainful employment than most middle aged workers IMHO.

i always wanted a katana because its steel is folded over9000 times and can cut through any other metal. at least that's what we believed.

The internet was a true wild west. Everyone was user except professors. You had to say "I saw this thing on the internet" whereas ppl today just say "I saw this thing". You could joke about bombing a place.

We didn't know why they hated us. Now we just don't care. (Its jews)

Right there with ya. Fucking internet,video games and sugar. I went out and purchased a bike. It's right there in my face every time I come home from work so I don't have any excuses to not exercise. Only bad part is I now have so much energy that it's hard to sleep. After 3 or 4 days of riding I'm turbocharged and ready to fuck shit up. Don't know if I'll lose the weight but at least I don't feel like shit all the time anymore. Also have to remember not to take a break for more than a day or two. I start to feel like shit again.

I had no idea of the construction of the sword at the time but knew ninjas could deflect bullets with it and fuck bad guys up by the dozens. According to the holly wood

Even though I was very young, I grew up in the early 90's, and my other sibling was 10 years older than me, so I consider myself being some Gen X/Millennial hybrid.

Just a few small things to share.

I had any important phone numbers memorized, such as best friend's house, my own house, and emergency numbers. Keep in mind that this is before area codes were a thing. Others kept important numbers written down in notebooks.

I was allowed to go outside and roam the woods, play in the neighborhood with other kids, and the only thing my parents cared about is that I came home in time for dinner or before it got dark.
If people were bored at home, they would either watch TV, read, or play board games or cards with each other. Occasionally we would play NES together as well.
My sibling had an entire bookshelf full of cassettes and CDs.
There wasn't this paranoia that there are crazy people hiding around every corner which haunts parents today, preventing their kids from going outside and playing.
If you waited 10 minutes for your dial-up internet connection to work, and someone called your house, you lost your internet connection.
Cursing in public was frowned upon, and MTV still played music videos that weren't all hip-hop/rap.

Just a few things I remember. Whenever I go home I always feel like I've entered into a time machine; not much has changed there. The furniture is decades older than I am. I miss those days, but it may just be childhood nostalgia.

>Millennials have a better shot at gainful employment than most middle aged workers IMHO.

Millennials are approaching middle age, quickly.

They'd be better off learning how to create their own business, than praying for a boomer to die.
Tiny as it is, GenX learned quickly how and why to make their own work.

The youngest Boomers are 52 right now, and aren't retiring any time soon.

>We played through the whole neighborhood like it was ours. Ran through people's yards and they didn't care. A stranger would find you playing in their back yard and open their door and hand you their trash to put in the can since you were out there.
>Would walk 6 miles to a put put golf course with $1.25 to play Mortal Kombat. Each game was $.25.
>Used to have to get porn off a BBS system and it was grainy as fuck but you still beat your dick like a red headed step child
>Doom II was the shit and I played it so much I had hallucinations once night

I'm an elder millennial though. GenX had it even better.

>paranoia
Are you retarded?

youtube.com/watch?v=owOR8KZQpO4. Reminds me of the moment at 3.56 in this video. Gone forever. I still ask for directions plenty though. Haven't been treated like an idiot from the stone age yet.

Spectrums, commodores, semi auto shotguns and 22s, going hunting, warlord comic, families had fathers.

I was 19 and went to school with friends a year younger on a half day. Teachers didn't even acknowledge my presence. I wasn't even a former student there. Just...whatever. Eh.

Improvised BMX bike jumping and wheelies. No mountain bikes yet.

Recess games called smear the queer and nigger pile.

Teachers didn't stop rough housing ever. Just gave the bleeding kid an ice pack.

Pre columbine. Pre 9/11.

did you americans had the acid rain scare in the 70s/80s? over here the green cucks told everybody that all trees will be dead in max 10 years because of the acid rain. the soil will be acidic and nothing will grow, we're basically fucked. also passengers planes will crash into nuklear power plants and the one power plant after the other will explode.

I remember the first time I saw a C.D. player. A neighborhood guy was installing it into his 1980's Monte Carlo heap of a car. My friends and I were riding past on our BMX bicycles and stopped by to watch. We were amazed by the technology being employed into his car. At the time the C.D. player was fucking expensive, well over 400 bucks. This was around 1988

Yes.

The Black Forest should have been dead in 1995 or so.

>did you americans had the acid rain scare in the 70s/80s? over here the green cucks told everybody that all trees will be dead in max 10 years because of the acid rain. the soil will be acidic and nothing will grow

Yeah. That, plus Global Cooling™.
We're going to be in a new Ice Age by the year 2000, dontcha know.

Life was a lot slower then, convenience was a thing that hadnt really caught on yet. Things like having to use a party line dial up telephone, having to wait 3 months to see the latest Star Wars movie after it had already run in the States, 28.8k Internet over Dialup on cracked phones lines so when it rained the rate was ~15kb. Portable music was either a cassette tape ghetto blaster with a dozen expensive D cell batteries, or a small walkman that took 4 expensive AA and were depleted in ~8hours. No rechargeables yet either. No answering mahcinees or call waiting or any of that shit, if you wanted to catch a call you had to physically sit and wait at home all night until the call came, and you would never know who was calling because no caller ID. Getting pussy was next to impossible, all the girls our age were taken by older guys out of school already with jobs and cars, and even then girls wouldnt put out for the absolute fear of being labelled the TOWN SLUT (insert horror movie music). Bullying was something everyone did and noone cared if you were the victim. Insults like Fag and goof were immediate fighting words, if you didnt fight back it meant you accepted you were either a fag or a goof and got bullies relentlesly afterwards for the rest of your high school years. Boomers were proto-assholes then, they didnt turn into total assholes like they are now after they inherited our grandparents fortune. Everyone hated commies and me and all my friends were gearing up to have to fight Russia in a nuclear holocaust, and the Red Dawn movie was a fucking movie it was an instruction manual for us for when the Russkies came.

Completely analog world
You had to go out and DO things... ugh.
I remember when staring at your phone for more than five minutes made people mock you at school. I am glad all the normies are addicted to electronics now. That's the world I understand.

this was the song that made the cucks cry when thinking about acid rain. refrain is, my friend the tree------is dead.
disgusting shit.

youtube.com/watch?v=fiI-NniztIc

those were expensive , specialy as a kid with no income beside 1 dollar per week from my parents. Only the rich kids had those boots or the full kit and some of them also had the claws to climb trees. Then i started reading inside kungfu mags knowing we only needed cheap shoes, pants and a tshirt with the school logo on it. convinced my parents and off i was to the local sil lum hung gar school, scared as shit i was feeling like entering the cobra kai dojo.

In 83 at 17 years old I bought a '68 mustang for
a grand(nobody wanted those "gas guzzlers").
Raced it against camaros and chevelles on main street with my friends in the car with me.We didn't
live in a fucking police state yet,so the cops left us alone.

>Global Cooling™
almost forgot about that. also this book.

At least where I lived, there were no crazies living in the woods or twinked out junkies. Then again, I grew up in a nice suburban area. However, newer parents that moved into my area never let their kids out of their sight now, even though the area hasn't changed. Maybe I was too young at the time to understand.

Based on T.V. shows and movies, I assumed that all cites were like New York in the 80's, full of crime, drugs, and danger. Not much has changed in that sense at least.

BBC Model B and Acorn Electrons. Elite is still great.

1980's
>BMX bikes with pads so you bust your nuts

lol!!!!

Mein freund der baum!!!

Lol!!!!

My sides! My sides!!

Had a B/W TV until 1988. Gays did not exist in the suburbs. We lived outside. Delivered 50 newspapers per day. Built our own shitting skateboard ramp from wood we stole from a construction site. I had crazy immigrant parents so we were different than everyone.
