The Death Proclamation of Generation X

A Self-Fulfilling Prophesy of Goth, Grunge and Heroin

Taking a hard, penetrating look at the despondent heart of darkness of the 1990s, The Death Proclamation of Generation X is a probing chronicle of America's thirteenth generation caught between the idealistic Baby Boomers and the well-financed Generation Y. Blending tenets of psychology, sociology, and cultural anthropology, Maxim W. Furek explores the impact of Andrew Wood, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, River Phoenix, Marilyn Manson, and Anna Nicole Smith on that generation—evaluating the psychological and sociological variables of goth, grunge, and heroin.
