The 1977

A feature for fellow Gen Xers* going ‘holy F I’m almost 50’

*but everyone else can play along! Please do!

Hello and welcome to The 1977¹, a feature of my (writer Alison McGaughey)’s Substack, in which I invite those who were born in or around that year (my year) to join me in my obsession with all things Gen X. (And/but I readily welcome readers/ participants from every generation.)

We were the world. We were the children. And now, we’re …not anymore.

1. a play on the name of the band The 1975. (Yeah I don’t really know who they are, either.)
