Teh primary reason I started this silly blog was to chronicle Gen X in an honest manner. What I fear is that some dopey high schooler from Generation BB or beyond will do a school assignment on Gen X, find this blog long after I decomposed and determine all Xsters were bitter Metal Heads. This is not so much the case. Yeah we were angsty, but among dickheads like me was a sub genre of hip-hoppy, happy, clubbing hipsters.

At least you get the sense these artists weren't full of self importance as the 'glow stick crowd' were.
