In a new Forbes piece, Gen Xers get nostalgic about the Sony Walkman’s recent 37th birthday. The device perfectly encapsulated the escapism that most Xers craved, as recounted by one individual: “[Mine] had a brown leather case, and I listened to ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ and ‘Depeche Mode’ to drown out my family.”
