Where Do Americans Come From?

Post by Martin Hash » Wed Apr 27, 2016 5:52 am

Each generation can be identified by the entertainment that defines it. In my generation, Gen-X, there were particular movies, and specific songs that were popular for more than their entertainment value, in fact, they formed the cusp of who we are.

Movies that either mirrored or formed our values featured the American stereotypical hero: loner, stubborn, capable, loyal, taciturn:
Cool Hand Luke
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Deer Hunter

Our formative songs were very mature with sophisticated themes:
Come Together - Beatles
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Sympathy For The Devil - Rolling Stones
Shamedia, Shamdemic, Shamucation, Shamlection, Shamconomy & Shamate Change
