sry got restricted again


yes - all of them were going through a tough time then


but they became very good musicians in germany where epstein had them hone their chops, and epstein was pivotal in their success


all kinds of things we didn't and couldn't know about their stories then, fascinating things like astrid kirchner and stu sutcliffe and john, or that astrid is another name for ashtera as was jane asher's last name - and that ashtera was called 'lady day' and was god's wife, while paul's mom died at 47 in 1956 when paul was 14 from the same disease as linda mccartney did at 56 in 1997 and that yoko and linda both grew up in scarsdale while linda's mom died in a jet plane crash on march 1st, 1962 when linda was 21 living in tuscon and yoko shrieked and wailed because she had been through the fire bombing of tokyo when she was 12 while john's mom died when john was 17


those words and their stories go deeper than we know even now


there is always more to a beatles' song than meets the ear

Gen X Movies

 




United we shred, divided we're triggered.






Some of America's favorite movies found a niche in a cultural murial labeling youthful identities into a lifelong typecast of generational ideals.









Solarbabies Wiki










For those born between 1960 and 1980, a passion for common awareness has created a subgenre of nastalgic cohesiveness corporate marketers are attacking like alien ships carrying away humans in a 'Defender' video game.








'There are 60 million Gen Xers. We were born between 1960 and 1980 – and are now 36 to 56 years old. We represent 25% of all adults in the U.S. OK, so we’re the third largest generation in our country. (next to Millennials and Boomers), but according to American Express, Gen X has more spending power than any other generation, with 29% of estimated net worth dollars and 31% of total income dollars.'

They came from a generation less studied than any other in the present age, yet at least according to marketers, considered the most culturally influential in 2016.







- Bored Panda






Encyclopedia Brittanica says they were the first generation to grow up with cable and color TV, 24 hour news, personal computers, digital music, co-ed sports, video games, the missing children 'Milk Carton Kids' and are often called 'Latch key kids', 'The MTV generation' and 'The Invisible Generation.'

Generation X orders more pizza than any other generation.








They are also the smallest and most overlooked corporate designated generation when they are demarcated at being born between 1965-1981, while Baby Boomers are indexed at between 1945 and 1965, and millennials (Generation Y) are pinned between 1981 and 2000. Generation Z is set at between the late 1990's to 2010.

Yet The World Economic Forum said in 2021 that the overlooked and misidentified Generation X now holds the most cultural power.

- Goth Wiki



'The novel was a sleeper bestseller,[11] growing in popularity after a slow start.[9] The terms Generation X and McJob entered the popular vernacular through the book,[12][13] and Coupland [born in 1961] was declared [by whom?] a spokesman for Generation X by the Guardian Newspaper and lauded for having a feeling for the zeitgeist of the age.[14]'






- Generation X: Tales for an Accellerated Culture (1991 Douglass Coupland) wiki







- Demilked




Douglass Coupland's perception of Generation X were people born in the late 1950s and early 1960s



The marketing and survey corporations didn't like that because it made an un-neat extension of the Baby Boom Generation that began at the end of World War 2 in 1945 - to less than the recognized pre-determined generational span of 20 years for every generation - which fit within their establishmental rigidity, even though the start date of 1945 was artificially constructed.






How many of you wondered where 'East California' was also ? (Kim Wilde and her band were from London, England).






Robert Downy Jr's breakthrough role 1985's 'Weird Science':


















(Theodore Hall was one of the spies at Los Alamos)



The corporate marketers listed Gen X between a 15 year span 1965-1980, skewing the data against the overlooked generation the Strauss - Howe construct says began in 1961 and ended in 1981.






- The Plasmatics - Denim Delinquent Magazine



Anyone from either generation knows all to well the schizm that occured when the Monkees Saturday Morning T V show first appeared in the summer of 1966 targeting children with a new genre of music called 'Bubblegum Rock'.



To the baby boom Beatles fans, The Monkeys were a commercial, pre packaged made for TV group that had no musical legitimacy nor artistic validity.








To this new, as yet undefined, young cultural agregate, The Monkeys were fun, colorful and entertaining without requiring a lot of thought or world view knowledge - they were funny and sounded good.



Thus was created the clear and precise divide between Baby Boomers and the  unnamed generation following them.



The Baby Boomers were the most studied, talked about and marketed to generation in history, in fact, they may have created the influence generational divides enjoy today, as they really were the first to be identified as a generation at all.






They changed the world for the better ending wars, racism and sexual discrimination with a cultural awareness of their power as the most populous generation ever, while ad agencies drooled over them.







Gen X is so named because so little was known about them, they were overlooked under the massive power of the Woodstock Flower Child Bohemian Peaceniks and Haight Ashbury Love In Electric Koolaid Acid testers who gobbled up all of the news media's attention not spent on covering the Vietnam War and Watergate.







The unmentioned younger brothers and sisters watched and learned how to (and how not to) make things better and make things fairer from their older siblings, while remaining incognito, unheard and stealthy.






- Mental Floss May 17th, 2023



But that is the crux of what separated those cohorts, the acceptance, or at least the using of market commercialism by the then unidentified younger siblings vs the then established outright opposition to it by the anti war unconforming baby boomers.



So then came The Archies, The Partridge Family, The Jackson 5, The Banana Splits, Andy Kim and Sonny and Cher plus a host of cartoon musical groups to cater to this new phenomenon.







Bubblegum Music Wiki



The bubblegum rock genre was credited with inspiring the birth of the U S punk and hence Post Punk rock cultures :



'“The Ramones, you listen to their songs and they’re complete bubblegum pop, without a doubt.” Lead singer Joey Ramone readily admitted, “We really liked bubblegum music, and we really liked the Bay City Rollers. Their song ‘Saturday Night’ had a great cha Int in it, so we wanted a song with a chant in it: ‘Hey! Ho! Let’s go!’ on ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ was our ‘Saturday Night.’ ” The Ramones wore leather biker jackets and ripped jeans and had tough scowls on their faces, but that pose was also underpinned by a Warholian irony and poppy fizz. Craig Leon noted that they embraced bubblegum and 1960s pop as “a return to the rock ’n’ roll roots.'

This was the clear cultural divide between the two age groups, one still undefined, that still separates each group today.
