      What happened to Generation X? While Millennials and Baby Boomers dominate discussions, this often-overlooked generation, the middle youth, grapples with its identity. Once the embodiment of cool, Gen Xers came of age amidst Britpop, rave culture, and iconic films, believing they would never grow up. Now, as they turn 40, they face the realities of adulthood with a mix of nostalgia and confusion. Tiffanie Darke’s witty exploration reveals how their style has shifted from floaty skirts and Doc Martens to Scandi fashion and trendy trainers. While they still enjoy Ibiza, their vacations now include family-friendly destinations like Cornwall. The mixtapes of their youth have transformed into Spotify playlists, and their rebellious spirit has transitioned into positions of power in government and business. Yet, as technology reshapes society, Darke questions whether the pursuit of cool still matters. With stress becoming a prevalent issue, Gen X reflects on their journey from anti-establishment youth to establishment figures. Through interviews with iconic Gen Xers like Pearl Lowe and Alex James, the book examines the complexities of living between youth and maturity, and the realization that they are now part of the very system they once sought to challenge.
