City Journal Audio

Generation X, Millennials, and Technology


Listen Later

Matthew Hennessey joins Aaron Renn to discuss the fading of the baby boom generation, the rise of tech-savvy millennials, and the challenge for those in-between, known as Generation X. This 10 Blocks episode is based on Matt's essay from the Summer 2017 issue of City Journal, "Zero Hour for Generation X."

While the baby boomers are finally preparing to depart the scene, "millennials could conceivably jump the queue, crowding out the more traditional priorities and preferences of the intervening generation—Generation X," Matt writes. "If GenXers don't assert themselves soon, they risk losing their ability to influence the direction of the country."

Matthew Hennessey is associate op-ed editor at the Wall Street Journal and the author of Right Here, Right Now, to be published in 2018 by Encounter Books.

Aaron M. Renn is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal.
