Think of how much the nostalgia we have is for Fisher-Price toys or Discmans. We were coming of age during the rise of MTV, when even musicians were brands. We’d never seen anything like that before.

But in her view, younger generations are at least “agitating for something really important. That’s us [Generation X] rubbing against the younger generations."
For example, Prato says, she’s able to be a feminist because “the Boomers were able to make huge strides” in that area, among many others.
