Gen X is sick of your bullshit

Mildly amusing essay at Gizmodo:
http://gizmodo.com/5851062/generatio...-your-bullshit

Quote:

But Generation X is tired of your sense of entitlement. Generation X also graduated during a recession. It had even shittier jobs, and actually had to pay for its own music. (At least, when music mattered most to it.) Generation X is used to being fucked over. It lost its meager savings in the dot-com bust. Then came George Bush, and 9/11, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Generation X bore the brunt of all that. And then came the housing crisis.

Generation X wasn't surprised. Generation X kind of expected it.

Gen X is roughly 1961-1981

Yes. Depending on who you ask, the opening date is anywhere from 1960 to 1966, and the closing date is 1980 to 1982.

Technically I am Generation X, and my brother is Generation Y (aka the Millenials.) And given our personalities, this actually fits us.

Which do you like better: the Beach Boys, or the Cure?

The Cure.

but when I was 12 I DID own Endless Summer. I've never owned any Cure. (of course, I was married by the time I was 24, so...)

eta: I was a faithful reader of Creem and Crawdaddy magazine. Those were some awesome rags.
