About this video

“Latchkey Kids” is an original 80s rock song celebrating the generation of kids who came home to quiet houses, figured things out for themselves, and learned independence early. This song is not about pity. It is about remembering a rougher, freer kind of childhood, when kids had more responsibility, more room to roam, and more chances to become tough, capable, and self-reliant.
