What are the qualities or characteristics that define your generation? I belong to the so-called X-Generation, as I was born in the late seventies, and I was a teenager in the nineties. It was called X-Generation because we were not identifiable like the boys and girls in the seventies or the eighties were. There was neither a common belief, nor a political orientation that could held us part of a massive phenomenon, mood or vague at all. But there were some points in common. We were interested in Japanese anime cartoons since we were children, and most of us still love Hayao Miyazaki or Makoto Shinkai movies; we really loved metal or grunge music, and for most of us Nirvana or Pearl Jam have played the soundtrack of their lives; we were the first to play with videogame consoles, like the Sony Playstation or the Nintendo 64, and most of us have read books written by Herman Hesse or Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Music had a lot of importance in our lives, we spent a lot of time listening to it, and most of us loved Queen or Pink Floyd, who played their last gigs during the nineties. We were the ones to massively support the record industry before the big crisis went on. When I was a teenager none of us had an internet connection, or a mobile phone, no social-network at all, and we dealt with one another in a different way, we weren't in any tribe and we were no fashion victims or slaves, as I love to say. Most of us have experienced a divorce, with his or her parents splitting up, and we sincerely hope to live a better life, giving the best future possible to our children. This is the reason why most of us are really concerned about respecting the environment, eating healthy food and avoiding consumerism. We have been children or adolescents when AIDS was the biggest threat for umanity and, for that reason, we're still dealing with sex with fear, trust in our partners, and loyalty to them are a must for us. Most of us began to work in the Information Techonology at the peak of the "New Economy" era, and were the first to experience a massive change in the working environment, most of us have climbed the social ladder ages before their parents or grandparents, but most of us have descended the ladder since then, and are now experiencing unemployement and dissatisfaction.
