I'm Gen X, part of the MTV generation, aka the Slacker generation. Quoting a quote from Wikipedia about us: "today’s students have short attention spans, lower literacy rates than previous generations, and bore easily". That was what adults thought of us. My first video game console was in 1974, a Heathkit Pong derivative. By the early 1980s, a lot of kids in my neighborhood had Atari 400s, C64s, etc. -- mostly to play games. And video game parlors were a thing too. I would mostly watch people play, because a quarter a game was a lot. We were the first kids to have Black History month (1970s) and observe MLK Jr. Day (1980s, for most people) - and yes, the anti-woke people of the time opposed both. For that matter, my 1st & 2nd grade school had only desegregated about the time I was born.
