Our Generation: Generation X

synopsis

Generation X is also known as Husák's children. They were born between 1965 and 1980 under a strict socialist regime, but as adults they are now experiencing freedom with all that it brings and takes away. Their experience with pervasive propaganda, censorship, and lack of freedom has made them rather reserved pessimists. In the free environment of the 1990s, they generally experience euphoria from their newly acquired freedom, but individuals' ideas about what will come next and where the world should go after the fall of the Iron Curtain differ. Paradoxically, the same experience becomes something that both unites and divides them.
