When was Generation X born?
What is Generation X? As far as Generation X is concerned, that generation was not defined by birthrates at all, but rather by a shared sensibility.
Well it’s the group of people born between 1961 and 1981. It’s that simple. It seems we have come to be called Xers simply because we represent something negative to our elders.
Generation X lives in the present, likes to experiment, and expects immediate results. Xers are selfish and cynical, and depend a lot on their parents. They question authority and they feel they carry the burden of the previous generations.
We may be the one thing that all of the generations who currently precede us have in common. That is—the ability to speak assuredly about our shortcomings. Of course, they overlook the fact that we are their responsibility, or actually their fault—our generation will be called upon to look after our parents knowing that they failed to look after us. Intergenerational justice failed somewhere along the way and it will be our task to either rectify it or make it worse.
We are a group of individuals who grew up with no one at home after school. It appears we have little hope for the future. No jobs, no homes, and basically no money are almost expected of us. These bleak prospects, along with the fact that we will be forced to support the largest number of senior citizens ever, do not provide much hope. Some believe that these blockades will be too much for us to handle and we will for the most part fall at life, but many see our individualism and resourcefulness that have been built up through our childhoods as our saviors. We will soon discover who is right and who is wrong.
