Generation X

Generation X encompasses those who were born between 1965 and 1976, after the baby boom during the World War II. This classification has a negative connotation; X refers to the namelessness of a generation characterized by the instabilities of most families endured during that time. Due to witnessing their parents face job insecurity, Generation X generally held a pessimistic, cynical, and skeptical view for the future. During the 1990s, the media portrayed this generation as a rejects of the societies, the low-lives. But at the same time, they are characterized to have the traits of independence and resilience.
