print email comment close Lingering Myths About Generation X: Dispelling Myths About the "Lost" Generation URL: http://www.housingzone.com/article/CA503868.html Description: 2005 discussion from the perspective of a home-buying magazine about assumptions concerning the generation born during the 1960s and 1970s. "The conversation began in 1991 with Douglas Coupland's book, 'Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture,' which profiles a group of 'underemployed, overeducated, intensely private and unpredictable' twenty-somethings." Topics include numbers in the group, education and employment ("slackers"), and rejection of material wealth. From a magazine published by Reed Business Information.
