Attention Generation X'ers! Come as you are and prove that the 90's was the greatest decade, and prove that you're not a bunch of slackers, by showing up to hear Jeff Gordinier, as he conducts an eye-opening journey in his quest to find the essence of the generation in his book: X Saves the World: How Generation X Got the Shaft But Can Still Keep Everything from Sucking.
Publishers Weekly says:
Gordinier has an easygoing style and a comprehensive knowledge of pop culture gleaned from a career writing for Entertainment Weekly and editing Details magazine, and this might be the reason the book sometimes feels like a collection of essays. Sequences on the rise of Nirvana and the burst of the dot-com bubble are ably narrated. And Gordinier does find a fresh perspective in discussions of recent phenomena such as YouTube and American Idol and their relationship to Generation X.
