Off topic. I’m shamelessly posting this just cuz its so cool.
The most ridiculous babyboomer commercial to-date. You know the one. With Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love” playing in the background. With the product named after a Grateful Dead song.
See it here.
According to an oldish article by Joshua Glenn in the Braniac section of The Boston Globe online, those of us born in 1973 are PCers, not GenXers, which makes more sense to me b/c I associate my childhood more with playing Oregon Trail on an Apple II than worrying about nuclear war (as Douglas Coupland would have me believe). And I’m def too old for Gilmore Girls, OC, and Facebook (hallmarks of the group after me: the Net Generation).
I don’t agree with everything Joshua Glenn thinks of my generation (we were too old for 90210), but I definitely think he’s on the right track in picking apart all of this misapplied, media-hijacked generation nomenclature
