Because words starting with X are, well difficult at best, we've gone with #Xer, as in Generation X. So, going a little 6 degrees here, bear with me.
Sparks - When I'm with you. The film clip has an appearance by Perri Lister, who at the time was going out with Billy Idol, who was, of course, the frontman for Generation X. Tedious connection at best, but what the hell!

🎶 When there is flooding, or temperatures high
And embers aflame on a burning sky
"The science ain't settled", we smirk & lie
I can't wait for my generation to die

Grandchildren of tomorrow – oh, whenever
You'll look at the sky's darkening weather
& know that your lives, when taken together
Meant less to us than personal treasure 🎶

Nov 21 2025

This time we focus on the #Xer generation

Joy Division, “Exercise One” from Still, 1981 (Posthumous)

So my thought here is A) The title contains “xer” - haha, ain’t I clever - and 😎 #JoyDivision and the whole spectrum of #PostPunk hit just as the first GenXers were coming of age.

While Joy Division flickered only briefly in their dark world until Ian Curtis left us, the stark landscapes they left behind endure.

🎶 And this is my declaration
Oh well, I'm sorry Roger Daltry but f-fuck my generation
Wandering 'round with our eyes closed
Wondering why we can't work out this

Well, I'm sick of the youth
I'm sick of everything we stand for
Find the perfect filter to take photos of the dance floor
For what?
To post on a page? 🎶

We're down on Gen. "Xers" this week on #AlternateFridayMusic
We're the forgotten "blank" generation, stuck between boomers and millennials 🤪

This was a '90s band was a unique mashup between Ministry (Al, Barker, Rieflin) and Jello Biafra, the singer of Dead Kennedys. It may sound like an odd pairing, but it works so well:

Lard - Generation Execute

Sure its a gross title but what do you expect from a bunch of teenage boys. I'm including it here for historical significance, though. Only 500 copies were ever printed but it was heavily bootlegged in later years. Rather than stay in the "thriving" punk scene of Melbourne (😝) they would move to London and change their name to The Birthday Party. While the set was mostly mediocre cover songs, this stands out as the first song Nick Cave ever wrote:

Boys Next Door - Masturbation Generation
