@MikePYaDig we don't bash on the Yers, but want to help guide you. Its true the baby boomers kept us down but Xers are more down to earth. They last thing we want to do is shit on the next generation. Still we have something in common. The economy suck because of the boomers and we are both stuck in it. Peace
yet despite this, from what i researched and see for myself, we adapted quickly to this, and have learned to take care of business, as i am putting myself through college as well as many other gen yers. and, like any other generation, we will carve new paths in what it takes to succeed. im afraid i cant say i kno what gen x really did yet i do agree with the fact that baby boomers have kept them down regardles, as my parents are gen x and baby boomers are in my opinion dinosoaurs now and selfish
i would agree that generation y is mostly seen as those born between 1982 and 1995, but could be up to 2000. also, from what ive read generation x has been mostly defined under the years from 1964-1981. i was born in 1989 and from my point of view we are not lazy but were raised under the impression that we can do anything and we always will win, which is bullshit because it didnt allow us to learn how to pick ourselves up, which we are doing now in college and the workforce
Cobain represented Gen X far more than people realize. I like many of my friends came from a middle class family who could not afford to send us to college. We worked a lot of crummy low paying jobs due to many jobs being outsourced to China and India. The selfish boomers with their overwhelming numbers kept us down while they running the show. Cobain realized it and put his feelings into music. We were not born with feelings of cynicism, we adopted them because of our position in society.
The whole demography thing goes seriously wrong when you take it too literally ... it is simply too vague to use in many arguments. Case in point I said nothing about any internet speak or spelling.
Research and so on and so forth all you want there are many 'reputable' sources that will give you different answers on the age range of a given generation. Regardless, I say don't follow any generation's footsteps; things change.
Generation Z? LOL that demographic label has not yet been assigned besides kids as young as 8 are Gen Y. My whole point is that people are going overboard with generalizations I.E. the emo kid..it was gen x that built the framework for that but gen y gets the blame for people thinking its weird, hypocritical? YES but same emo kids call us old and outdated..hypocritical? oh yes.
We aren't special and we used to preach that people should get over themselves and live life but unfortunately some of us have caved in to pride. And no, son, no, my retirement is NOT in your hands : ) And yes my age demographic (young Gen X) do create and perform the stuff young people are going gaga over today. Have a nice day luv ya anyway cause you are a smartass just like I was when I was your age...
Please tell me WHY the hell is our age demographic defined by GRUNGE. Granted Im young Gen X but I dont understand why you all are drinking the Kool-aid! This "grunge" era crap was indeed a commercialism label. FUCK THAT!
they were only called grunge just because mtv and the fucking media didnt know how to describe them, so they named it grunge just because of their looks, but they didnt like their music to be described as grunge, Nirvana wasnt meant to be pop, it was underground punk/rock/indie/experimental , but This Generation X was one of the most important points in music history, too bad Indie and underground music are not given the credit they deserve but nirvana showed what they are capable of....
"It's better than to be hated for what you are than be love for what you aren't" Thats what grunge was all about. Being your self and being happy. 14 years after Kurt's death, people are back to being phonies. Every day I wish he was still alive.
Gen Y is now the gay little fuckers who like MCR or FOB BFS. Sorry if I offended you. And Gen X was a time were every teen was really rebelious and didnt give a shit. Preety sure that the difference.
Not all Gen Ys are little fuckers. The ones that are into grunge are all right. Shit we Xers really fucked around and gave the baby boomer asshole a hard time. Why not! They fucking took every thing from us. You wonder why we were pissed off. Mother fuckers they are.
OMG HE LOOKS LIKE MY COUSIN HE DOES

The best music that ever happened for Generation X was black metal, even though I do like Nirvana. The only grunge metal I ever liked. RIP Kurt.

@iwannagosurf it means that kurt would rather go out with a bang than slowly get unpopular over the years like some rock stars or bands do

I agree. Nirvana and other "grunge" bands expressed a confused and dark feeling we all had as youths and we really just wanted to be honest.

@cmtmj2007 I wish Kurt was still alive today as well. He would not still be married to that fake eye-sore Courtney Love.
