- Generation X is not synonymous with "slacker," but to many people these words have come to mean the same thing. That's what happens when the media names a generation after a piece of fiction (Douglas Coupland's 1991 book Generation X) or a punk band (Billy Idol's late-70s group), depending on who you ask. The same media that spilled gallons of ink over Generation X has already declared it dead. The New York Times ran the obituary in June 1995 on the "Styles" page under the headline "The Short Shelf Life of Generation X. ...
- Whether dead or alive in the minds of the media elite, a couple million people still remain in the generation formerly known as X. ...

" While there have been TV shows featuring black members of Generation X (i. ...
- Douglas Coupland has said Generation X is not a chronological age "but a way of looking at the world. ... In their book 13th Gen, authors Bill Strauss and Neil Howe define Generation X as those born between 1961-1981. ...

- Perhaps a good way to define the boundaries of this generation in the United States are by the September 11th attacks; people who were not yet born in 2001 or were too young to remember and/or understand what happened on that infamous day would be grouped into the next generation, while people who were solidly of age, out of school, and into adult life would be grouped into Generation X. This would correspond to approximately 1978 to 1993; coincidentally, many actually do consider these to be the boundaries of Generation Y. ...
