This article is about the 1964 book. For the demographic cohort, see Generation X.
Generation X is a 1964 192-page book on popular youth culture by British journalists Jane Deverson and Charles Hamblett.[1] It contains interviews with teenagers who were part of the Mod subculture. It began as a series of interviews in a 1964 study of British youth, commissioned by British lifestyle magazine Woman's Own where Deverson worked.[2] The interviews detailed a culture of promiscuous and anti-establishment youth, and was seen as inappropriate for the magazine.[3]
Generation X, a punk rock band that English musician Billy Idol formed in 1976, was named after the book—a copy of which was owned by Idol's mother.[4]
