Generation XWho are we Why are we called "Generation X" Where did we come from Where are we going What’’s going on here Where’’s theBeef This passage offers some (but only some) of the answers, and points you to other internet sources that can help you find the rest of the answers. Here’’s a brief "FAQ" (FrequentlyAsked Questions) on Generation X: How did we get this name, "Generation X" anywayBlameDouglasCoupland ofBritishColumbia,Canada, for one. It was also the name of aBritish Punk group in the 1970s featuring 1980s soloistBilly Idol.In a 1995 interview,Coupland denied any connection, saying: "The book’’s title came not fromBilly Idol’’s band, as many supposed, but from the final chapter of a funny sociological book onAmerican class structure titledClass, by Paul Fussell. In his final chapter, Fussell named an "X" category of people who wanted to hop off the merry-go-round of status, money, and social climbing that so often frames modern existence." — Whatever you say,Doug.WhenCoupland wrote his book in 1991, the phrase was picked up by marketers desperately seeking a name for the "generation without a name". Of course there’’s been much discussion about "slackers" (懒惰的人) comes to minD、Other popular terms are "Thirteeners" or "13th Generation", which came from a book by Neil Howe and William Strauss called "Generations", in which we are listed as the 13th generation of the US

A、since 1620. Who exactly is Gen-X This question is in hot dispute. In the mid-1980’’s the Gen-Xer’’s had been labeled "BabyBusters" (生育低谷期出生的人), due to the low birthrates of the 1965-1975 age bracket.Demographers (人口统计学家) noticed as early as 1966 that the "boom" (婴儿潮) was over, and began planning and budgeting downward for this massive change from the "boom" in birth between 1946-1964. (These "Boomer" dates, by the way, have never been in doubt nor have they been doubted or tampered with by the medi
A、) Today, however, many people lump (将......看作一体) those born in the years 1961-1981 together. Why 1961Despite beingDougCoupland’’s birthyear, it more likely began with the Howe & Strauss book "Generations", which used those years. The 1961-1981 years are also being accepted and popularized by media like TIME、magazine, which has used those years in a Gen-X cover story. The years 1965-1979, 1964-1982, 1960-1970, 1966-1977, and 1970-1983 have also been used in articles on Gen-X, but these all seem very arbitrary, and as you can tell, are all over the map, demographically (人口统计学上).So, What is a "Generation", anyway
A、generation, loosely defined, is a group of people who can be, 1) demographically identified by biological trends and 2) have shared experiences. These are the basis for my belief that the 1965-1975 timeframe works best, since the 1961-1981 years do not reflect birthrates as well as the 1965-1975 dates do, and it’’s really a mistake to try to see 40 year olds as having the same shared experiences as 20 year olds who barely remember who Ronald Reagan was! (HOWEVER: It’’s been argued thatBoomers born from 1946-1958 see themselves as separate from later boomers. That’’s certainly legitimate, but both groups fall in the sameBIOLOGICAL generation. The 1961-1981 dates are purely cultural, and are not biologically correct, and I contend that they should not be used — but see the "comments" section of this site for some spirited discussion on this issue.) Here are some general characteristics for Xers:Value The Individual and Nurture Relationships. Although there doesn’’t seem to be one description of Generation X, most will agree that a defining characteristic is that they don’’t like to be characterizeD、They don’’t want to be treated as a single entity, but want to be looked at as individuals. In addition, this is the first wave of latchkey kids to hit the work force. They are homesick for the home they never had (due to both parents working). Their focus on relationships over achieveme
