Haunted by the spectre of the Beats and the Boomers, the Hippies and the Punks, today's twentysomethings are desperate for anything that gives them a generational self-image. This waggishly ironic book takes a riotous jab at the Generation X/twentysomething phenomenon and examines various aspects of their pop culture, including music, literature, and politics. Line drawings.

A tongue-in-chic critique of the media madness surrounding the "Generation X" categorization, and fairly on-target criticisms of the vapidity and internal inconsistency of much of alternaculture. Although it's meant to be funny, I found it to be a somewhat depressing book--sort of talking to someone after they stayed up all night at a rave, trying desperately to deal with the ugly blue sky of reality.
