Gen X

Until I read this article I never really thought about generation x, sure I heard about generation x, but I never realized how invisible they were compared to the baby boomers and generation y. When you think of baby boomers immediately you think of people born after the war when times were simple and happy, things like dinners, roller skates and drive-in movies. When you think about generation y you think about the internet age, where everything is fast pace and done electronically; facebook, twitter, myspace, youtube, people in this generation are superficial and materialistic, everything is always me me me me. But, When you think of generation x...what do you think about? unless your born in or around the generation x era, you may find it to find an image that immediately forms in you head, but when you really think about it you realize that generation x has influenced a huge part of of what makes generation y generation y. Gen Xers are responsible a lot of the music we listen from punk rock to rap and hip hop, they are the makers of youtube and myspace, youtube being one of the most time-wasting yet influence tool of our time. A lot of the fashion of the generation x era is make a resurgence in today's fashion as well.
I thought that is was really interesting because I've never really thought about it until I read this article.
