GenXegesis: Essays on Alternative Youth (Sub)Culture John M Ulrich

Marc Notes: Includes bibl. ref. & index; Avail. in Cloth. Publisher Marketing: Although most people think Generation X is a coined label for the post-Baby Boom generation, since the early 1950s the phrase has signified a seemingly identity-less group of young people trying to define themselves within an uncertain, even hostile world. Resituating the term in its neglected (sub)cultural context, this work offers a critical assessment of the Generation X phenomenon and its relation to the fashioning of different identities within and against the mainstream. Topics include punk subculture, the Internet, reality television, postmodernism, and alternative music.
