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.
I once danced with Billy Idol in a New York Club
in the 80's. It was unpleasant.
