: : While it is a fairly recent
term, I was wondering who coined the phrase?
:
: I found this if it's of
any use
: A 1960s English paperback about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll in
the London mod scene.
: also check the archive on this site for some more details.
This
definitively will be of no use whatsoever, but as an idle aside, Generation X
was the name chosen by Billy Idol (of "With A Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding"
fame) for his appallingly bad nascent UK punk band before he went solo. I only
remember one single release, which is, trust me, a major blessing.
