    Love that #GenX is trending. We heard the warnings of HIV AIDS, just said no, listened to the Greatest Generation and Boomers fight, put hip hop at the top of the charts, kept to outselves and said nothing. But we listened.

        And when #GenX did socialize we had a strategy. My boy @sonnycantu and I used to watch @mclyte’s performance at the Apollo (which I tapped) of Cha Cha Cha and tried to copy the routine of the backup dancers. We wanted to perform it at quinceañeras https://youtu.be/F2_y5ECaQUc pic.twitter.com/3w1elPWgUz

        Before childcare accessibility or structured play activities—we were stuck in our homes with siblings or with a parent all the time!!! And we would play in our own yards. All safe activities until that sibling starting to unleash mischief and someone cried afterwards. 👀🤔🤣

        I got a tennis ball and practiced my pitching against the garage door when I was alone. I’d also set my VCR to record Yo!MTV Raps so I could catch K-Solo talk about his inner struggle in ‘Fugitive’. Being alone was awesome

        And we're the ones with (by far) the least problems responding to the virus crisis by staying home etc.

        We were introduced to The Beatles by Nike and consumerism. Now Boomers use hip-hop slang in their everyday speech and have no knowledge of where it came from. They're still in denial of Hip Hop taking over the world.
