The term 'Generation X' appears to have come into common use following the book of the same name by Canadian novelist Douglas Coupland, although it was also the name of Billy Idol's '70s punk-pulp band. The term loosely describes the entire post-baby boom generation, particularly those who grew up in the 1980s - a generation for which parental divorce, diminished job expectations, and new technology were common themes. Similar terms include 'twentysomethings' and 'thirtysomethings'.This category is for sites which deal with Generation Xers as people - this may include, but is not limited to, sites about Gen X culture, lifestyles, philosophies and interests.
