He's totally right that Boomers and Ys are macro generations and Xers are micro generations. In his early 40s, his message is that Xers are making big changes in small ways (and frankly, not really taking or getting credit for a lot of it). That's a lot different than someone in their 20s saying, we're going to be so much better than you, we know more than you, and it's over for you. And that kind of message from 20-somethings has been constant forever. However, Gen Y will be the first generation where their 20-something message will be floating around in cyberspace forever. I feel sorry for them for that.GenXperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419994417087666211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286851907865480562.post-53449929936297791822009-04-19T10:51:00.000-07:002009-04-19T10:51:00.000-07:00Like you, Suzanne, I'm grateful blogs, Myspace, Tw...Like you, Suzanne, I'm grateful blogs, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook et al, didn't exist when I was in my twenties. I hate to think what boneheaded crap I would have revealed back then. Yikes!!<br /><br />And Anon, I'm very familiar with Jeff Gordinier's work. His work is due to the huge press Gen Y and the Baby Boomers get. Gen X is kind of an afterthought to the mainstream media. He's just trying to remind people that, hey, Gen X still exists and many of them are pretty great. A lot of his writing is done with snarky good humor. Remember, our generation gave the world "The Daily Show" and "The Onion."Jennifer Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674509188116888849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286851907865480562.post-43082933135208184712009-04-18T19:28:00.000-07:002009-04-18T19:28:00.000-07:00To be fair, there are plenty of Xers in their 30s ...To be fair, there are plenty of Xers in their 30s and 40s who still love to carry on about why their generation is the best, and why everyone who isn't a gen xer sucks.
