Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Bad day for Gen X clipped by: wiccantexan Clip Source: www.msnbc.msn.com The man-child named Michael Jackson and the luminous girl known as Farrah Fawcett-Majors jumped into our consciousness at a plastic moment in American culture ? a time when the celebrity juggernaut we know today was still in diapers. When they departed Thursday, just a few hours and a few miles apart, they left an entire generation ? a very strange generation indeed ? without two of its defining figures. ?This,? he said, ?is the moment when Generation X realizes they?re grown up.? It was a long time coming. Cynical, disaffected, rife with ADD, lost between Boomers and millennials and sandwiched between Vietnam and the war on terror, Gen X has always been an oddity. It was the product of a transitional age when we were still putting people on celebrity pedestals but only starting to make an industry out of dragging them down.
