She nails it once again.

mcbrennan sums up a lot of how I feel about my age group in this country. We were caught in between two times in American history and got SUCH a pinch.

Pop culture overload, cynicism, forced irony, and passivity are our demons.

Innervisions: go read this if you care about these things.

I was actually born in the last year of the "official" Baby Boom, and my class in school was the last big one around here. But in general my age group got tagged with "Generation X", yeah. I think the later bunch were supposed to be "Generation Y" (how original!) and I dunno what they are now. Not sure a bunch of Linkin Park fans and people too fucked-up for the infantry need a designation other than "Morlock".

I don't know, at least you guys have a generation. I'm officially a Baby Boomer too, but I'm not old enough really, and yet I'm way too old for the Gen Xers. I am essentially on my own, but since I'm independent, I don't mind too much.

Still, I dug her entry, and told her so.

I'm 40. In between for real.
