I tend to agree with you, Mister ...Gen X, Gen Zero? I tend to agree with you, Mister Marshall-Stacks. (Do you go up to 11?) <br /><br />Just a thought but I'm forming the impression that Gen Y is seeming like a breath of fresh air... <br /><br />I was living for the past 3 or so years near an exclusive private school in Sydney. Me doing the grocery shopping whenever I did around school's-out time, who comes swarming down the street for the train station but a few hundred teenage members of The Rolling Stones.<br /><br />I was being interviewed last week by a local newspaper re my new book: a journo, a photographer (both a few years younger than me at 41, nice people) plus a 20-year-old work-experience kid. Well this young uni student looks like something out of a Fellini film, very "retro", Rayban glasses, pointed boots etc, a sense of style but no Gen-X type nihilistic pretentious "Attitude", he was just being himself.<br /><br />I said, "Y'know, you look like me 20 years ago in the 80s yearning the 60s." And we had a reallly nice conversation.<br /><br />So there would seem hope. Seems it might have taken a 40 year cycle for a new Golden Age. Just as it took 40 years after the Roaring 20s.<br /><br />Justin SheedyJustin Sheedyhttp://crackernight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652993327243709277.post-43633033759665135302009-06-01T16:23:38.238+09:302009-06-01T16:23:38.238+09:30When 'Easy Rider' opened in Sydney there were queu...When 'Easy Rider' opened in Sydney there were queues around the block for admittance. <I>Right round the block</I>.<br /><br />The generation that is defined by Nirvana is Gen x aka Gen Zero.
