Generation X is a 1964 192-page book on popular youth culture by British journalists Jane Deverson and Charles Hamblett.[1] It contains interviews with teenagers who were part of the Mod subculture. It began as a series of interviews in a 1964 study of British youth, commissioned by British lifestyle magazine Woman's Own where Deverson worked.[2] The interviews detailed a culture of promiscuous and anti-establishment youth, and was seen as inappropriate for the magazine.[3]
