The generation that elected Obama, and then entered a state of nihilistic exhaustion when the changes they expected did not come to fruition. The term was originally created by Gerardo Del Castillo Ramirez, the director of the film, "1/20," which deals with the subject from a perspective of teen angst. www.onetwentymovie.com
The 1/20 generation has run away from its teachers.
Just because you are 1/20 does not mean that you should give up hope.
1/20 youth still has the power

Get the LEADERS OF 4TH GENERATION mug.a phenomenon that occurs when you have an unbroken chain of ancestors going back several generations, who have never experienced oppression, that prevents you from acknowledging the possibility that oppression may still exist for other social groups besides your own.
Karen doesn't understand why "all lives matter" misses the point, because of her generational privilege.

Get the Generational Privilege mug.THE BOOMER GENERATION (1937-1956)- The most radical anti-war, idealist of this generation were born in the late 1930s and early 1940s yet they are never included in the traditional boom years of 1946-1964. Abbie Hoffman (1937), Jerry Rubin (1938), Tom Hayden (1939), Jane Fonda (1937), George Carlin (1937), Peter Fonada (1939), Ted Turner (1939), Richard Pryor (1940) John Lennon (1940), Joan Baez (1941), Bob Dylan (1941). You can't tell me these activist fit the mold of the silent generation. Was John Lennon really part of the silent generation??? People born after 1954 were too young to be affected by Vietnam and to participate in Woodstock. Some of the early punk rock and heavy metal pioneers like Billy Idol (1955) member of the punk band "Generation X", Johnny Rotten (1956) of the Sex Pistols were born during the cusp years.

Get the boomer generation mug.Generation X- (1957-1976)-The early part of this generation born btwn 1957-1962 are cusp years, but a great majority of them will tell you they identify with generation x more than the boom generation. It might have to do with the generation their parents were from. Some of the early Xers may have been the youngest child born to G.I. parents. They might have been influenced by older siblings and identify with the boom generation, but the first-born child to parents of the silent generation are more likely to be Xers. The silent generation married very young and were already having children in their early 20s. The silents also had a high divorce rate and a good portion of Xers grew up in a dysfunctional home. I can never understand why some like to start this generation at 1965 and as late as 1968. I was born in 1970 and always felt I was more on the tail end of this generation rather than the middle. It was not just about growing up in the 1990s. Our generation came to age in the 1980s and our youth culture lasted to the mid 1990s. Our generation did begin and end with Nirvana. You must have been coming of age when MTV, New wave and heavy metal music was popular during the 1980s, and you must have been old enough to remember the polices of the Regan era. Most of our distinctive members (poster boys) were born in the late 1950's and early 1960s. Tim Burton (1958), Bill Watterson (1958) wrote Calvin and Hobbes. Quentin Tarantino (1963) director of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, Richard Linklater (1960) directed Slacker, Ben Stiller (1965) directed Reality Bites, Mike Judge (1962) directed and wrote Office Space, Bevis and Butthead, King of the Hill. Douglas Coupland (1961) wrote Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture. The bad boys of SNL, Rob Schneider (1963), Chris Farley (1964), David Spade (1964), Chris Rock (1965), and Adam Sandler (1966) were fired from SNL because the older generations did not get their humor. Most of the new wavers, hardcore punk musicians and thrash metalist were also born in the early 1960s. James Hetfield of Metallica (1963), Tom Araya of Slayer (1961), Axle Rose of GnR (1962), Henry Rollins of Black Flag (1961), Perry Farrell (1959) of Jane's Addiction and creator of the Lollapalooza festival. New Wave, Goth, Techno, Rap, and Electronica pioneers like Duran Duran, U2, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Iced T, Run DMC, Beastie Boys and R.E.M. were all born in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The core of the alternative rock bands like Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson and Nirvana were all born in the early to late 1960s. The bands that came out of the very tail end of generation x developed the nu metal and emo sound that kids listen to today. Bands like Korn, Limp Biscuit, Linkin Park, Creed, Green Day, and Eminem were born in the early to mid 1970s. This period was also the beginning of the hip-hop culture that senator Obama likes to identify with.

Get the generation x mug.Generation X. People born between 1962 and 1975, for whom the original "Sesame Street" children's television program was invented. If during your childhood, the original version of "Sesame Street" was in its original run (i.e., not re-runs), and if you were of the correct age for it to be relevant to you, and to learn from it, you are a member of Generation X. If you were in childhood when "Sesame Street" was being re-run on PBS, or watched it on VHS or DVD, you are Generation Y. Despite his surprised claim to the contrary, pretending to not know what it means, Daily Show host Jon Stewart is a Generation X'er, as is his former senior correspondent, Stephen Colbert.
Claims that Generation Y and not Generation X gets "most of its news from" The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are not true. Generation Y prefers to get its news via online and text sources. Generation X, famously scornful of everything and distrustful of anything, is Daily Show's primary audience and shares its cynicism.
Similarly, if you can remember seeing Idi Amin Dada actually alive on television and are not over the age of fifty, you are a Generation X'er. If he was deposed and dead by the time you first heard about him, you are Generation Y. For those unsure, Idi Amin Dada was the 1970's version of Osama bin Laden and was reviled and feared in the media exactly as frequently as bin Laden is today. The difference between the two is, Dada was never an ally of the Bush Administration and was an actual threat to democracy somewhere (actually, Uganda).
Thirdly and finally, if you were around to see the premiere episode of "Saturday Night Live" in 1975 on NBC, and if you remember Jim Henson's muppets making frequent appearances on the show, and you are not over the age of fifty, you are indeed a Generation X'er.
This condition similarly applies to remembering the "Sesame Street" era when Oscar The Grouch was orange in color and Grover was brown.
If you remember these moments, you are a Generation X'er. Bert and Ernie, by the way, are not having sex with each other, and it was never suggested by Henson and Oz that they were. Contrary to popular opinion, men can actually live together and share a friendship as roommates. Gay men can also - "gasp" - be platonic friends. To assert that Ernie and Bert are not platonic is actually kind of an attack on male friendship... which DOES exist. Ernie and Bert were based on "The Odd Couple", a Neil Simon-penned play that became a hit television sensation similar in popularity during the late Sixties to "Sex and The City" during the aughties. Henson and Oz intended no gay innuendo in the characters, and today's preoccupation with the sexual activities of two children's show mascots is a sad commentary on the world we X'ers have to live in.
Viva X.
