so they're doing this promo thing on the radio, one of those classic rock odes to the doors. it's quite good, actually - cleverly written and aimed at my generation. that doesn't happen super often, wedged as i am between gen x and gen why. (ah, labels.)
but all the song snippets they're highlighting their fan-o-rific words with are the pap - sorry, i mean pop hits. they don't even skim through any of the really good ones, like crystal ship or ghost song.
i mean, don't get me wrong, light my fire's a good song and for a good part of my adolescence, also what i said to get my smokes lit by friends. (and a big thank you to them for never punching me!) but it's not quite good enough to be heard as many times as i've already heard it.
and no end in sight, either. i will surely hear that song a staggering amount of times before i die.
(shrug)
meh, whatever.

Oh please, you're _so_ gen-x....
well anonymous, that's interesting. most of my friends are gen x, and i certainly relate stongly to the gen x "culture", but as far as technicalities go, i'm a bit too young to qualify. i can pass most of the time, but i'm always clearly faking it when the gen x-ers start talking about stuff like their childhood. the toys, the tv shows: all foreign to me. and i'll bet most gen x-ers wouldn't know what a mon chi chi was if it came and bit them in the ass (except we all know that mon chi chi are peace-loving beings).
nope, instead of 3-2-1 contact, i had romper room. and while i did get to enjoy gilligan's island and laverne & shirley - they were reruns by the time i got to them.
as for gen why, i was just a bit too old for fraggle rock and jem...
this all extends beyond the confines of pop culture of course, but you get the point. but ok sure, if i had to be stamped with a label, why not, let's stretch our narrow labels and line me up with the gen x-ers! besides, their name's cooler. (grin)
The dates delimiting a gen-xer are not set in stone, there is much debate about it.
Not that I'd want to take anything in your posting too seriously, of course... ; )

*sigh* found out so soon....
heh - you can hide behind your cloak of anonymity, but you can't ...run?
something like that.
