    For marketing the use of the word generation

    Very nice. :)

    Makes me think of Roger Daltry's j-j-j-itery pronunciation in My Generation
    Actually anytime these "generation" market-tools come up I think of that song.

    If were going to discuss labels, it would be good to define by age the labelee.

    How old is the oldest GenXer and how young is the youngest GenXer?

    I thought the oldest GenXer would be 35ish right now and the youngest 25ish...?
    No need to be void, or save up on life

    You got to spend it all

    According to wiki:

    "those born in the U.S. between 1964 (often 1961: see Coupland and Strauss and Howe, below) and 1980 (sometimes 1981) received the "X" tag for lack of a defining social identity"

    oh god yes. i like eleanor rigby a lot too. i'm trying to get through life after god. it's not a difficult read by any stretch, im just distracted. :)

    Being distracted while reading Coupland doesn't work for me, too easy to miss something. Have you read JPod? I read excerpts online and decided to wait for it to be priced down. I own all of his books but that one seemed off somehow...
