The Breakfast Club Generation

They call us generation X but we're really the breakfast club generation. We are little bit of every genre just trying to get along because our families and parents were so disfunctional. Our parents had the "I deserve to be happy" attitude and everyone else be dammed. They were selfish and  uncompromising. We were flailing latch key kids with broken homes. If our parents weren't raging alcoholics, they were single moms working 2 jobs and or dealing drugs. When we were growing up, adult men still thought it was ok to objectify teenage girls, and date them. Music was at it's peak. Diseases like herpes and AIDS we're brand new and scary. We had children young and gave them misspelled names. We smoked a lot of weed, did a lot of Coke, gave pagers and ultimately, cell phones a reason to exist, you're welcome. We were loadies, jocks, prom Queens and basket cases. Who learned to accept and love each other.
