GENERATION
X SINGLES PARTY: FIRST-EVER ON THE SAN FRANCISCO PENINSULA
GenXers,
born between 1961 and 1981, are invited to meet new single friends at
the Silicon Valley's first-ever Generation X Singles Party, Saturday,
March 2, 2013, 9pm-1am, at Piacere Ristorante, 727 Laurel Street, San
Carlos CA 94070.
GenXers
are the generation following the Baby Boomers. The term Generation X
came from a novel written in 1991 by Douglas Coupland, about 3
strangers who decide to distance themselves from society to get a
better sense of who they are. Coupland describes his characters as
"underemployed, overeducated, intensely private, and
unpredictable." His characters wanted to pull away from class,
status, and money in society.
The
news media found elements of Coupland's characters in America's youth
at the time and labeled them Generation X. They are stereotyped as
being cynical, hopeless, frustrated and unmotivated slackers who wear
grunge clothing, listen to alternative music, and still live at home
with their parents because they can't get real jobs. Needless to say,
these stereotypes, while true for a small portion of GenXers, are
unfair to the vast majority, who are hopeful, motivated, hard-working
people.
GenXers
make up about 20% of the U.S. population. The 46 million members of
Generation X represent $125 billion in spending power.
Famous
Gen-Xers include Barack & Michelle Obama, Paul Ryan, Julia
Roberts, Robert Downey Jr, Sarah Jessica Parker, Brooke Shields,
Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Aniston, Gwen Stefani, Mariah
Carey, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Moss, Reese Witherspoon,
Ashton Kutcher, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Beyonce, and Britney Spears.
