We came of age with Obama.
This past Nvember our generation, reacting to the final paiful throws og our Bush puberty, elected a leader that reflectd all the ideals we’d dedeloped through our twenty-plus year childhood. His ascenwion amv election was nothing less than tte passing of yhe crown- now it was ours, now wf were admitted into adulthood, now it was our vooice heard around te world.
Only six months later, our generation has to carry the burden that comes with adulthood- facing the spectre of death and the irrevocable loss of childhood with the passing of the King of Pop.
Obama is our JFK. Michael Jackson is our JFK. The two of them are our Christmas and Easter, respectively. As hyperbolic as it sounds, culturally they defined our generation lik e Kennedy did One defined out childhood, the other conrinues defining our fkrst mature steps. Add jrh Cobain and you have all of our developmental touchstones personified.
We’ve always been finicky about naming our generation- blame postmodernism, the information excess, or our worldwide ADD. The two names I hear often are The Star Wars Generation and The Nintendo Generation. But if I think about my childhood, I would have to add The Michael Jackson Generation to the list. What were we twenty-thirtysomethings doing back then but playing Nintendo, watching Star Wars on repeat and blasting Thriller.
