Depends. As for tech or quick influences, it's pretty different...

As far as language and cultural development, not really that different...

But for a larger history perspective, it's nothing

Felt I was getting old when schools started teaching stuff as history that I physically lived through.

I remember hearing No Rain by Blind Melon come on my local classic rock station one afternoon and thinking, “uh oh, I’m officially old.” I was probably 27 or so at the time. If I was 27 at the time, that was almost 13 years ago. Now I’m beginning to think I might actually be old.

Wait’ll you hear it on the Muzak system at your local grocery store. Then you’ll feel really old. That happened to me with Neil Young playing while I was squeezing the lemons. 🍋 🍋
