If you've yet to read this book, I still suggest it.

Even this person I never heard of before liked it. Buy book here.

And his book is short, funny and easy to read, full of pop culture references that people in their 30s and 40s will appreciate. Like me, Gordinier blames the latest generation, the Millennials, for ruining pop culture; he holds them responsible for two of the great scourges of our time, reality TV and bad pop music a la Britney Spears. Gen X, he claims, has produced great musicians, film directors and comedians, as well as entrepreneurs and activists, and he credits Gen X with a healthy mix of creativity, individuality, skepticism and hope that he feels should be directed toward making the world a better place.
