“Generation X...the first truly overrated generation since WWII?”
That title would go to the self-congratulating aging hipsters of the baby-boomer generation
Aging hipsters? No one born after 1952 or ‘53 could ever really have been a “hipster”. I’m 1959...I never felt that I was in the same league with the ‘43 to ‘53 league of boomers. I’d have been kidding myself.
Hey now, the hipsters of the baby boom invented rock and roll, and sex, and drugs. Well of course they would have had to be 3 years old in 1948 to invent rock and roll, and sexual liberation had been pushed for decades (check 1920s Germany), and even LSD went back to 1938 and Ectasy back to the 1910s. Cocaine and pot before that. But they can’t dream and boast, can’t they?
