The men and women who came of age in the era of Lollapalooza have been underrepresented for too long in pop sociology, but reporter and essayist Jeff Gordinier argues that it's time for the slackers to rise up and take charge. He takes the reader along on an eye-opening journey from Prague to San Francisco, from Woodstock '94 to Us Weekly, in his quest to find the essence of X. Along the way he shows how Gen X innovations in art, comedy, technology, activism, and (gasp!) business have come to define the way we live now.--From publisher description. 000328086 650_0 $$aGeneration X$$zUnited States. 000328086 650_0 $$aConflict of generations$$zUnited States. 000328086 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zUnited States. 000328086 85200 $$bgen$$hHQ799.7$$i.G67$$i2008 000328086 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0720/2007025374.html 000328086 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0834/2007025374-b.html 000328086 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0834/2007025374-d.html 000328086 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:328086$$pGLOBAL_SET 000328086 980__ $$aBIB 000328086 980__ $$aBOOK
