I remember watching the Berlin Wall coming down on the news. I don't remember the Challenger explosion (edit: though I was alive for it, to be clear). I was out on my own during 9/11, worried as hell about being drafted. Whether or not I am gen-x depends upon which of the dates for its end you choose.

When I'd get to kindergarten too early, the teacher let us watch some cable tv. It was usually showing the original xmen cartoon.
