What event defined your generation.

67. That has

always been an elusive question for myself and those I grew up around.
I grew up and lived my life in a pretty rural area, before large media became a thing. No cable, we could get 5 broadcast TV stations on a GOOD night, so TV wasn't even really a thing for us. Because of that, we basically made our own world, void mostly of any popular culture outside of music.
Don't get me wrong, we weren't secluded like North Koreans or something, but information was slow, very poor quality, and frankly, no one paid it much attention. We just lived our lives doing what we had to do.
Music was the primary outside influence for us. We would drive into the city and go to record stores and be amazed at all the stuff we had never even heard of because of the garbage top 40 station we could get didn't cover much.
Even though the space race was long over, I remember a lot of toys and products still marketed around it, stuff like "Tang" and others.
So anyway, we weren't really even part of our own generation if that makes any sense at all. We worked hard, we played hard, and focused a lot on family, and that was about it. We were quite happy and content.
