In the early 90s, we called Aeroflot Aeroflop because they kept falling out of the sky. I think it was 40+ incidents from 90 to 91.

I think a lot of it is bullshit. I am 45, early 1980. My mom was 17 when she had me. Her parents were Silent Generation, early 1936 and late 1939. Mom and Dad were cusp boomers born in late 1961. Her parents raised me with my cousins who were all 1970-1975 kids. I have two brothers who are cusp gen Y&Z, born in early 1995 and late 1996.

I am firmly Gen X in my upbringing and socialization but when my cousins went off to College I got a bunch of Gen Y friends and my experiences changed. I introduced them to The Meat Puppets and Husker Du and they introduced me to Blink 182 and Green Day.

My little brothers are Gen Z stereotypes raised by a couple of Gen X stereotypes but technically they are Gen Y and Boomers

My point is the dates don't mean shit, it's the environment and the influence. When I talk Generations with people I just tell them I am a Xeinal 1977-1983. It saves me from having to listen to someone tell me I am Gen Y when I have almost nothing in common with Gen Y.

This long unsolicited rant is over lol

For us in the late 80s, it was called knocking off as a play on nodding off. The local news was all over it. In fact, that's how my friends learned about it. I never did it but I had a few friends that would choke each other out to get high all the time.
