	Definition of Generation X
		Generation X is not synonymous with "slacker," but to many people these words have come to mean the same thing.
		Generation X should not be viewed as a pejorative term and it's not an inflexible definition.
		In reality, a generation is more than a demographic unit, but because television and the media love to group people in target markets, Generation X often appears to be only white middle-class twentysomethings.

	CMT.com : Generation X : Biography
		Originally formed in 1976, Generation X (which was named after a book that focused on battles between the Mods and the Rockers during the '60s) was comprised of guitarist Bob Andrews, bassist Tony James, drummer Mark Laff, and fronted by Idol.
		Generation X managed to squeeze out one final album, 1981's Kiss Me Deadly (which contained the original version of a song that Idol would later cover as a solo artist and score a massive hit with, "Dancing With Myself"), before splitting up.
		As Idol's solo success created interest in his first band, numerous Generation X best-of and rarity collections began to crop up, including 1985's Perfect Hits: 1975-1981, 1998's Sweet Revenge, and 2000's Original Debut, the latter of which was a reissue of the U.K. version of Generation X's self-titled debut.

	gen-X Rising: Is 'Generation X' real or imagined?
		The popular definition of Generation X evolved into something like the following: the rising generation of young adults, characterized by a deep sarcasm and sense of irony, who are frustrated by the rampant materialism and lack of meaning they see in the world and yet see no clear alternative.
		Today, I suspect that the deep unhappiness of Generation X is based less on unconscious fears of nuclear holocaust and more on the pace of life — driven by developments in technology that race along faster than the human mind and human heart can keep up.
		Gen X was meant in part to describe us (I fit into the category)as a bland generation that could not be defined in the ways that our parents or grandparents generations could.

	GSM World News. Press Release 2004 - GSMA Asks India To Safeguard Its 3G Future

		In the latter half of the seventies, Idol was frontman for the classic punk group Generation X. Along with a guitar genius named Tony James, the band served up an onslaught of classic punk that put other punk bands of the era to shame.
		Among these is Your Generation, one of the bands big hits that never made it onto an actual album - until now (it was previously released as a single only.) Another excellent track that suffered a similar fate, Wild Youth, is also hear as a bonus track.
		Generation X split up after just three albums and little chart success, so they tend to go forgotten, even by big time Billy Idol fans.

		The band - keyboardist David Sancious, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and superb guitarist Dominic Miller - craftily re-created the sweeping orchestral sound of the original to create one of the concert's highlights.
		Performing with the same band he's worked with for the last couple years, Dominic Miller on guitar, Vinnie Colaitua on drums and the now-legendary David Sancious on keyboards, Sting thoroughly reassured the faithful that his primary message is still the music.
		Opening with four songs from his latest album, 'Ten Summoner's Tales' (before charming the crowd, heavily mixed with Generation X and Baby Boomers, with a rendition of The Beatles' 'Day in the Life'), Sting, now 41, displayed his characteristic willingness to play jazzy variations of any material, new or old.

	Generation X
		Gen X soon began to get a very large following and vast coverage in the teeny magazines, owing to their punk image.
		Tony Blackburn, DJ for the show was not as thrilled as the kids, but the group continued to hound him at studio 1 with their next three hit singles, until the eventual break up of his marriage.
		Gen X, as it was to be called, then decided to see whether, if they laid all the guitarists in England end to end, they would stretch from AIR number 1 studios to Chris Wright's house in Barbados.

		In 1991, Douglas Coupland wrote the best-selling novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, popularizing the term, well, Generation X. Gen Xers are roughly defined as those born between 1965 and 1980.
		This evolution from critic of “accelerated culture” to its face is perhaps the latest movement in the repackaging of the generation that Mr.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The term Generation X, meaning something like 'the generation of people born in the 1960s and early 1970s in the United States, variously regarded as irresponsible, apathetic, materialistic, etc.', was popularized by the (Canadian) writer Douglas Coupland's 1991 book Generation X.
		The currency of the term Generation X unquestionably stems from Coupland's book, but, as someone would be sure to remind me if I didn't mention it here, the term is actually quite a bit older.
		And Billy Idol's punk band was also called "Generation X," their first album coming in 1978.

		Review: Generation X- s/t LP This was the start of it all for pop music's infamous, motorcycle accident victim, Billy Idol.
		It could be said that Generation X was cut from the same mold as bands like The Clash and The Pistols, but unlike those two bands who received so much attention and acclaim from music fans, Generation X has always held a much smaller part in early, English punk history.
		But, Billy was able to craft competent, well meaning lyrics to front a band with a great deal of pop sensiblities to back up their raw, aggressive take on punk.

		Gen X released three other albums -- Generation X, Valley of the Dolls and Kiss Me Deadly -- before Idol went on to launch his hugely successful solo career.
		Sweet Revenge features 11 unreleased tracks, including "Flash as Hell," "Stars Look Down" and "Revenge." The highlight of the album will no doubt be Idol's mega-hit, "Dancing With Myself," which was first recorded with Generation X but never released to the public.
		Gen X came up alongside other punk contemporaries the Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Clash, but were often regarded as more commercially driven with a pop edge.

		So it stands to reason that their offspring should be referred to as "Dankai Juniors." Note this term well, because Sunday Mainichi (12/24) uses it a lot.
		And that, predicts writer Yuki Ishikawa, is likely to aggravate relationships between mothers in laws of the Dankai generation and their Dankai Junior daughters in laws.
		Sheesh!" If the members of the older generation appear uptight over their errant daughters in law, writes Sunday Mainichi, its because in the traditional family scheme of things, it's the son's wife who's responsible for caring for the family grave site or conducting memorial services.

	GSM World News 2000 - GSM ASSOCIATION WELCOMES ITU APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL SPECTRUM FOR THIRD GENERATION (3GSM)
		In the future, the GSM Association believes its members operating GSM in these bands will be able to evolve towards IMT-2000 technology at their own pace, in order to obtain better spectrum efficiencies and provide additional capacity for their customers.
		Also importantly, the GSM Association's members in the Americas, where national administrations have used the IMT-2000 core band for GSM1900 and other systems, will also have the opportunity to implement IMT-2000 in either the 1.8 GHz or 2.5 GHz bands, dependant on equipment availability and national circumstances.
		Such a possibility generally requires that a major market adopts IMT-2000 technology in this spectrum range and that the bands in question can be cleared of existing services in the countries that could make most benefit of this development.
