There will never be another New Year like 1999. At least, not that we'll be around for.
With the world ending, Y2K threatening to crash the economy, and the calendar flipping over a millennium... every ingredient came together to create a perfect storm of partying.
But while Gen X definitely participated in that New Year,they got plenty of experience partying in during the 1980s.
Here are 20 pics of Gen X getting after it like it's 1999, in the late '70s and '80s.
