X saves the world : how Generation X got the shaft but can still keep everything from sucking
Jeff Gordinier.
Check Availability
xxx, 189 p. ; 22 cm.
"While the pathologically nostalgic baby boomers are busy popping Viagra and clinging to their endless squat in the spotlight, and while their self-obsessed, lip-synching progeny, the millennials, are caught up in a perpetual hustle to take that spotlight away, the generation that is doing the hard, quiet work of keeping America from sucking is the one that still gets pegged as a bunch of slackers: Generation X." "Over the past twenty years, in fact, those slackers have irrevocably changed countless elements of our culture - from the way we watch movies to the way we make sense of a cracked political process to the way the whole world does business. Generation X has given us Google and Craigslist and Wikipedia, Being John Malkovitch and Pulp Fiction and Lost in Translation, Lauryn Hill and Beck and Nirvana, Barack Obama and Dave Eggers and Architecture for Humanity, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. In reality, Generation X is diligent, innovative, enterprising, wise, poetic, and downright visionary, but its status as the smaller, snarkier, sandwiched-in-the-middle demographic has led to its gradual marginalization on the main stage." "Until now. In this "manifesto for a generation that's never had much use for manifestos," Gordinier suggest that, for the first time since the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" breakthroughs of the early 1990s, Gen X has what it takes to rescue American culture from a state of collapse."--BOOK JACKET.
