Generation X

The Popular Culture That Defined the MTV Generation

This encyclopedia provides a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of Generation X and its enduring imprint on the cultural landscape of the USA, in realms such as music, television, literature, advertising, and art.

American life has changed significantly in the last 70 years. Explore the pop culture that defined Generation X, defined as those born between 1965 and 1980, with informative entries on iconic performers (Nirvana, Notorious B.I.G.), films (The Big Lebowski, Heathers), and books (Generation X)—not to mention the technology, media platforms, and events that had a lasting impact on American culture and entertainment. Additional features include interviews from artists and musicians of the era that shed light on their influences, challenges, and achievements, as well as an introductory essay that takes a deeper dive into Generation X attitudes toward work and leisure, race and ethnicity, personal relationships, politics, and social media.
