Kids were out all day, with the only rule of being home when the street lights came on

Ah, OK. Street lights weren't a good indicator for time when I grew up. I live too far north. Street lights would turn on at 1400 in the winter and never in the summer. That's why I was gifted a wristwatch when I was 8 or so.

That's still a thing in the city & country towns with closely nit housing. Sure, these days most can just check their phone for the time, but not every kid has a smartphone, which is a good thing.

Millennial, Zillennials and GenZ had this rule, it's only just started dying out with Gen Alpha.

Lol I think gen x had this rule. And probably even boomers.
