in: "rap" music | out: barbershop quartets
Another beautiful example of cultural idiocy passed along by Gawker: a 46 year-old lady of hyphenated provenance presides over a Houston-based youth trend research company. Worthless opinions, procured (one can only assume) at great expense, follow:
Generation Xers, the "nomads," were born from 1965 through 1977. They tend to be industrious, smart, independent, savers and volunteers. They serve as the computer experts for their families. They are listening to OutKast, Eminem, Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, White Stripes and Staind.
"I challenge you to pick up some of this music and listen," Saurage-Altenloh said. "There is a lot of pain and understanding in this generation."
Yeah? Well, I challenge you to listen to nothing but Kenny G. and Celine Dion as you sit at your "home office" eating twinkies, perusing EW and surfing mtv.com, all while charging unsuspecting church groups $75/hr. Oh, wait...
Tune in to Generation X by listening to Eminem | The Salt Lake Tribune
