I'm the oldest writer here at BuzzFeed - a whopping 50 years old! - so I was a kid when Thriller became the biggest album in the world and Michael Jackson reached Elvis/Beatles-level fame. I had his posters all over my walls and desperately wanted one of those red zipper jackets (my mom wisely refused). I even taught myself the moonwalk.
