Researchers define a generation as a group of peers who share similar life experiences. Generation Xers are, and always will be, outnumbered by other generations Using the most up-to-date information available, along with historical statistics, we shed light on where Generation X stands. This article addresses five of the most prevalent perceptions of Generation X in today's world. Throngs of researchers, writers and insulted Gen Xers have made a pet project out of revising or even refuting Coupland's claims, but certain myths still linger. 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 who have "nowhere to direct their anger, no one to assuage their fears and no culture to replace their anomie." Coupland's proclaimed erosion of standards and values, and the resulting ambivalence of his archetypal characters have haunted Americans born between 19 for nearly 15 years. Generation X attracts more speculation, controversy and debate than one would care to master.
