| 'Our politics
is - we
say what we think, we do what we want and we play by
nobody's rules - we don't play by the Punk Rock rules.' Tony
James
As mentioned
earlier Generation X came in for a bit of a battering in the music
papers but like so many punk bands got a more sympathetic ear from the
fanzines of the time Like Snifin'Glue or New Wave. Some of these are
shown below. |

"Generation X
were a revelation ! I've only seen them once before and I
was really impressed then, but they're even tighter now !
They looked menacing...short hair, aggressive stances, and
they move so fast. Short catchy songs like 'Ready Steady
Go', 'Your Generation', 'Youth Youth Youth' and 'Day By
Day'. One of the few groups who haven't really sold
out." Nag and Ade from New Wave
