This was a result of what is now called free-range parenting, plus increasing divorce rates, and increased maternal participation in the workforce prior to widespread availability of childcare options outside the home.<\/p>\n<p>As adolescents and young adults in the 1980s and 1990s, Xers were dubbed the \u201cMTV Generation\u201d (a reference to the music video channel), sometimes being characterized as slackers, cynical, and disaffected. Some of the many cultural influences on Gen X youth included a proliferation of musical genres with strong social-tribal identity such as alternative rock, hip hop, punk, post-punk, rave, and heavy metal, in addition to later forms developed by Gen Xers themselves (e.g., grunge, grindcore and related genres). Film, both the birth of franchise mega-sequels and a proliferation of independent film (enabled in part by video), was also a notable cultural influence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generation X &#8211; Wikipedia \u201cAs children in the 1970s and &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[6847,4520,5043,10762,6859,10763,8519,370,1533,4912,3,6392,2458],"class_list":["post-8145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-experience","tag-family","tag-gen-x","tag-gen-xers","tag-generation","tag-generation-x","tag-human-behaviour","tag-life","tag-new-world-order","tag-parenting","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-social-engineering","tag-society"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
