What are your thoughts on gen x?

@calicuz yeah boomer kind of grew in its meaning

Kinda how my generation is usually called millennials even though actual millennials are like around late 30s

If you're born in the[b] late[/b] 60's then you'd be a Gen X-er.

@MethDozer a few iconic movies and shows that died. 15 years of sporadic content compared to boomer and millennial content? Please. It's a drop of almost nothing compared to their parents and children.

@Trekker Nah, it's actually the opposite. It was so saturated that there's not as much that stood out and become classics. Being the age I am I watched, listend to, and loved all the GenX media and it was satrurated.


Also it is worth noting that GenX was a genration of "scenes", authenticity, and anticonsumerism so being marketed to was kinda of wasted endeavor. Being commercial media marketed to GenX was kind of garunteed failure story. GenX's most lasting impression on American Culture is in underground music and art and various scenes such as Punk, Goth, Industrial, Metal, etc.


It wasn't GenX wasn't marketed to or marketed to less. It was that GenX rejected what was marketed to them as it was considered fake, sell out, consumerist bullshit. Which is the coolest part of GenX.

@MethDozer my point I think. A handful of memorable movies or shows, music that is mostly pushed to footnotes.

How many punk rock bands are in the hall of Fame? How many bands from gen-x in general compare to others? Sure, there's input and influence and impact. But compared against others?

60s baby Boomer culture had more of an impact on society, music, tv, etc than anything other than Amazon from gen x.
