Nope. I don't think so. Not only do I have no idea what "Generation X" is supposed to mean (but PLEASE don't try to explain it--I've heard them all before), and not only do I think the people who use the term have no idea what it's suppsed to mean, but the whole idea of grouping people in an age bracket under a letter is a little disconcerting. It made sense, at least, for the "Post-War" generations, because, well, there WAS a war. But Generation X? ANd the idea of even the majority of a generation being without ambition and grubbing from others, though quite endearing, is only as true for our generation as it was for the Beats, and the Post-War, and the Post-Depression, and the y, z, and AA Genreations. ----Original Message Follows---- Date: Thu, 05 Nov 1998 10:48:22 -0600 From: Matthew_Stevenson@baylor.edu Subject: Re: Kerouac To: bananafish@lists.nyu.edu Reply-to: bananafish@lists.nyu.edu >They all leached off >relatives and they had no ambition. generation x anyone? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
