We have all heard that repulsive title before. For those of you who have not, it is the nickname bestowed upon us twentysomethings by the media. Apparently the X signifies that we are a generation that has no goal. We are perceived as a bunch of apathetic, cynical slackers who are content to let the world go by. First off, lets look at this title.
Generation X sounds more like a techno group than anything else.
Apparently the X is supposed to symbolize nothing, so in reality we are being called Generation Nothing. The very name itself seems synonymous with an era devoid of any form of ambition. In reality, we lack ambition about as much as the sixties lacked rebellion. All one needs to do is look around an average college campus to see how driven today's youth really are. We are the ones who edit the newspapers and bring speakers to campus.
