I don't know if any of you dig this sort of thing, but I do. This article is called "How Generation X Got the Shaft But Can Still Keep Everything From Sucking" - and it really is quite interesting. I can completely relate to it - I grew up on grunge music and felt completely marginalized by everything going on around me in society (at the time). I still think Gen X is poorly understood - but this article just articulated it beautifully, loved it!

If you read this article and these words almost bring you to your knees "...there's a sort of comfort in the margins" - then, this article is written by your brethren, LOL!

I am not really a gen-xer I dont think, I was born LATE 1976 and I just dont relate or fit into that article, but it gives me a lot of insight into gen-x! Great article!
