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.

Wikipedia () wisely pegs the "generations" as roughly, 1941-1961 -> "Baby Boom", 1961-1981 -> "Generation X". And I've heard 1981-2001 being called "global youth".

Of course, deliniating generations by fixed dates is a tad solipsistic.

But I've also noticed how the term Gen X has shifted over time. It used to mean people old than me (I'm 35) but then seemed to mean people younger than me. But then, 1969 is in the middle of Gen X's time frame.

1969!
