Nix the X. This is about how we shouldn't be labeled "Generation X"

Nix The 'X'                                                                                                                      There are a variety of terms from which to choose: The Lost Generation, the MTV Generation, Generation PC, Busters, the Information Generation, the Bitter Bunch, the 13th Generation, Generation Next, the Soundbite Generation . . . We have been slapped with more stickers than a Deadhead's van. For those of us who grew up on MTV, video games, and microwave dinners, these are far from complimentary terms. My generation doesn't deserve the title 'Generation X' …

…and what we can heal. 'Generation X' is an undeserving title that boomers gave us, after only assessing some of our characteristics. Most of these assumpions were incorrect to begin with, mainly their claim that we pay no attention to our political surroundings. Their quickness to label us with the title Generation X is also incorrect in their overlooking of the obstacles we must overcome, do to their lacking of such barriers at our age.
