Early Gen-X went from seeing the horrors of the Vietnam war on TV, straight into Reganism, Iran Contra, and more. All while under the looming shadow of global thermonuclear war, which was pushed heavily into the zeitgeist by cold-war politics at the time. Sure, there's a lot good stuff from that era too, but there was also plenty to rage about.
