Alternative Goes Mainstream

Sun, Feb 14, 201644 mins

Members of Gen X, the 65 million people sandwiched between the baby boomers and millennials, are often thought to be cynics, slackers and loners. Generation X explores the roots of this generation by looking at the forces that shaped it, from the stalemate of the Vietnam War, the increasing divorce rate, the growing latchkey kid phenomenon, the resignation of Nixon and the rise of grunge.
