And permit's see what — other than pessimism, angst, ripped jeans and grunge music — divers the disaffected generation that gave the states Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy and Keanu Reeves.

Be advised that, when it comes to representation, this listing could look similar it lacks a bit of diversity. Not for nothing, Gen X has been accused of skewing white and straight and of overrepresenting white, higher-educated twenty-somethings. We strived for some balance with the selection.
