He lauds these artists on a few points, praising Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder for declaring that “any generation that would pick Kurt [Cobain] or [Eddie Vedder] as its spokesman… must be a pretty f–up generation”

uummm, Few Gen-Xers ever picked either of these Bozos as our spokesmen, It was the Baby Boomer writers & suits who gave them that title and forced them on us.

"Few Gen-Xers ever picked either of these Bozos as our spokesmen, It was the Baby Boomer writers & suits who gave them that title and forced them on us."

Bump to that.

I also loved this aside in the article:

"Hillary Duff (who hasn’t sold out yet)"

ROFLMAO. Working for Disney until you're 18, being a Mouseketeer, and doing teensploitation flicks like "Cinderella Story," that's just "stickin' it to the man!"

Sad to say qam1 but I think your giving to much credit to Gen X on this one.

I lived in Seattle when Cobain shot himself (I might have too if I was married to Courtney Love). The place was full of "slackers" my age and younger for days at various memorials. I was so disturbed by this spectical (and I like Nirvana's music) that I left Seattle within a year.

Alas, though more conservative by far in comparison to Boomers, there are plenty of slackers among our ranks.
