No she’s correct, Gen X women were born in 1965 not the 70s and they were definitely not teens in the 80s, now the ones born in the late 70s and 1980 were teens and babies . A lot Gen X women were in their mid 20s going on 30 but that doesn’t apply to the whole Gen X. 1965-1985=20 so in the later 80s they would be 25 and it’s not like it is today. Most of them ha jobs, houses, cars , families etc at a young age and we’re working hard to get to where they wanted to be. so she is correct and they definitely made an impact. She didn’t say every woman in this video was Gen X either. she spoke about how the Genx women who were born AFTER baby boomers who were still traditional broke free from that. Janet Jackson, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Shannen Doherty,Salt N Pepa, Winona Ryder, Molly Ringwald, etc. are Gen X

​@Princessdollamanda I think you are both correct. Most Gen Xers were teenagers- born between 1965 and 1980. My parents are Boomer/Gen X border, born in 1964 and 1965, and were still in high school when I was born in 1983. The 80s would be over before the oldest Gen Xers would reach 25, and halfway over before they were even 20. Still, I see your point about younger women having more responsibilities back then. I remember my mom wearing these looks in 1988 when I was just 5 and she was 22. I think it was the Boomer women who were leading the charge with women's rights and the 80s fashion revolution- like Grace Jones, Iman, Tina Turner, Phylicia Rashad, Jackee, Madonna, Donna Summer, and Whitney Houston. However, I think the Gen Xers were the young rebels that continued the work at the turn of the decade and into the 90s- Janet Jackson, Salt n Pepa, Lisa Bonet, etc. They worked together but the Boomers definitely deserve their flowers for leading the fashion revolution of the 80s

@@nachebrown3202 Yes, many Baby Boomer women led important movements for women’s rights, but some of them also held more traditional or conservative views that clashed with the freedom and individuality embraced by the younger generations. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Tina Turner, Grace Jones etc. faced criticism for rejecting societal expectations and pushing boundaries though they were baby boomers. Many Boomer women upheld traditional roles and values, often questioning younger women’s choices, like prioritizing careers over marriage or expressing themselves through fashion and lifestyles. Gen X women took things further, breaking away from those expectations entirely. They weren’t content with just opening bank accounts or entering the workforce-they wanted to build empires. Gen X reshaped fashion by embracing androgynous styles, oversized clothing, and self-expression, despite pushback from the older generations. Their rebellious attitude redefined what it meant to be a modern woman and left a lasting impact on both culture and fashion and that’s not taking away from Baby Boomers it’s just the truth.

Me too. I would love for her to go into depth about Tina Turner. Almost every video about Tina that I’ve seen mostly talks about the abuse she endured at the hands of Ike and the numerous memes and jokes about it instead of her music and general impact.

Agreed, people also tend to think about just neons and one style of dressing. It was so much more than that and heavy on self expression.

@@iconicallyiconicI would love a part 2 of this.

Happy New Year darling, thank you so much 🩷✨ ugh I love the big hair soooo muchh, big hair in any era is just always my favorite lol

Thank you babe ✨🩷 that means so much to me. I agree it’s a decade of fashion that is slept on and a lot of the trends from the 80s were worn in the 90s.

​@@iconicallyiconicCan you do one on the 70s black fashion.

@@torrenciamcdaniel3272She already did a black 70s fashion video
