Old School Memories
On my main Tiktok page, I frequently talk about old school memories I have being a member of Generation X. For a breakdown on the different generations, check out this post.
However, the more I post, the more I appreciate micro generations. That’s what they call generations that don’t fit squarely into the typical definitions of a generations. It’s either because they’re on the very front end or tail end of a generation. Gen Jones is an example of a micro generation wedged between Boomers and Generation X. My favorite micro generation name are the Geriatric Millennials. This is the hilarious name for the generation wedged between Gen X and Millennials. They’re also known as Xennials.
The reason I appreciate the micro generations is because I can appreciate how we all have so many similar experiences. As a result, sometimes when I’m talking about topics that might cross generations, I simply refer to all of us as, Oldheads. Oldheads covers all of us, from different generations, who remember things from a time long gone by. Boomers, Gen Jones, Gen X, Geriatric Millenials and Millenials, all of us Oldheads.
Let’s see how many of these, generate sensory memories for you.
Sensory Old School Memories
This morning I woke up thinking about things we used to have and do that are considered old school but they evoke strong sensory memories for Oldheads, like me. It’s what prompted me to create the TikTok video this post is based on. Let’s see how many of these evoke old school sensory memories for you!
Can You Hear This?
In the days of high quality low cost printers, younger generations probably have no appreciation for the sound of dot matrix paper tearing. But Oldheads sure remember what it sounds like.
Can You Smell This?
Not only can Oldheads vividly recall what freshly opened cans of Play Doh smell like. Some of us may even know what Play Doh tastes like.
Can You Feel This?
Back in the hey day of waterbeds, you either loved them or you hated them. One way or the other, most Oldheads experienced the sensation of rolling on a waterbed.

Morse Men For Mom
If you haven’t seen my video on this topic, you can find it here, Morse Men 4 Mom. The long story short is my husband, Michael’s family lost everything inside their Ft. Myers home due to the flooding from Hurricane Ian. We were blessed that everyone survived and we only have to replace things.
If you would like to donate, here’s a link to the GoFundMe page we set up.
Welp, that’s it for now. An upcoming blog will provide more details on Morse Men 4 Mom.
Until next time,
Namaste,
