I am continuing to try to develop the concept of an "authentic performance." My generation set up a false opposition between authenticity and performance, and the resulting failure didn't lead to freedom but to a regular-ass failure. I go on a not-to-be-missed rant about this failure to get free in this episode whose target is Generation X in general, but also me specifically. The generation that was defined by its quest for authenticity, mostly just collapsed into a bunch of sell-outs calling out sell-outs until it was undeniable that our whole generation had sold-out. It was more fun when we could point the finger at the sell-out boomers who had capitalized on the "free love" and cultural production of their so called "revolution." And so, it is incredible to me to see Generation X memes popping up all over social media promoting our generation as the last "real" generation. Time to end this fantasy once and for all.
