People that completed high school at any time between 1989 and 1996. Stragglers have been identified through the class of 2000, but were the minority of their graduating class. In its heyday, Generation X boasted some high numbers. MTV was a haven for Gen-Xers, and has been described as, "the only TV channel that didn't care just as much as you." Gen-Xers can come in a variety. Light Xers are usually just into the music and don't really look the part. Medium Xers were way into the music, and could be easily identified. Heavy Xers were about nothing but the music, and took the lifestyle to it's limits. Major Xers are identifiable even today; they usually wear clothes they didn't buy or are older than they are, tend to talk slowly, and feel more at home in a dark room. Grunge permeated in this time period, and it fit the bill.
Very characterized by music.
Light X: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, other major radio bands
Mid-X: All of the above, Monster Magnet, Kyuss, other bands that started small and "got big."
Heavy X: All of the above, Fu Manchu, Soul Coughing, other bands that stayed small but got major underground movement.
Major X: All of the above, The Atomic Bitchwax, Desert Sessions, bands that remained underground or even "indie."
Generation Xers were complete stoners. Most clean up, but some don't. If someone claims to be GenX but doesn't/didn't do drugs, they are liars.
GenX was a great place to be a part of. The world had it's troubles, but they just didn't care enough to do anything about it. It's okay because they still had the support of the people who did do the activism. True harmony.
Generation X was followed by a major culture change, then culture shock, then was followed with Generation Y. Generation Y is still in existance as of today 1/5/06, but will probably peter out as the year progresses.

Get the Generation X mug.The Generation of Austerity
Today's crop of children, born between 2003-201x. They are the children of Generation X (those born from 1961-1981) who came right after the Baby Boomer Generation (those born from 1946-1964). The Generation A crowd will be the wave of people faced with reduced availability of luxuries and consumer goods, unstable employment prospects, declining quality in health care, declining interests in Wall Street and investing in American, esp. brought about by new government policies.

Get the Generation A mug.Different than normal hipsters, these people - usually teenagers or young adults - have interests that are foreign to their generation.
While their interests may not be the typical definition of "underground," they will seem that way to their peers. Such interests can include music, art, politics, and ways of thinking.
