generasi x
A demographic group born approximately between 1965 and 1980, known for characteristics of independence and skepticism.
The term “Generation X” was first popularized by Douglas Coupland through his 1991 novel “Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture.” This naming initially referred to the post-Baby Boomer generation, often perceived as a generation lacking a clear identity or an unknown “X.” Linguistically, “X” symbolizes uncertainty or anonymity. Historically, this generation grew up during a period of rapid socio-economic change, including rising divorce rates and shifts in family structures, which contributed to their independent and skeptical characteristics.
