On the martyrs and monsters of the worst, most-self congratulatory, most fell off and kept the pretense of rising generation. The generation that gave us Diddy.
Wait, you're knocking a whole generation for buying a couple albums and watching a couple shows made and marketed and shoved down our throats by the previous generation? In Living Color, Seinfeld, Friends? Boomers. Rock the Vote? Founded by Jeff Ayeroff (b.1947). Even that cover image with Clinton on MTV...Boomers promoting Boomers to a Gen X audience wondering why the hell they're there. Woody Allen? You serious? Sure, Diddy's Gen X, and Radiohead (decent dinner music), but you're forgetting a few. You're right, though, we weren't cool, but did we think we were? Great read, though. File under "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..."
Oh and I wanna play the ghost of Kurt in the GenX Hamlet.
Wow
GET EM! This was great. Made me recall songs by Ouelle Chris & Jean Grae My Contribution to this Scam & Martin Lucid Dream by Denmark Vessey.
Guilty as charged
I feel like I just got hit on the head by homey the clown and seen at the same time. ::damn::

Like your perspective...GEN X's weakness, embarrassment, and scandals -all well assessed in this article.
