As we look more closely at Generation X, and especially as we attend to the changing social structure that, in general, sets the stage for young adults' lives in the present, we will see that it is society itself and, in particular, the emergence of hyperreality that bears the greatest responsibility for this generation's disrepair. We have already noted that this generation faces unprecedented and all together daunting challenges, but to the facts of the dying world and today's mundane dystopian everyday existence we must add the ironic twist that today's young adults must destroy the hyperreality that defines them as a generation in the first place. Only then could this cohort even have a chance to realize its latent common destiny. Indeed, this nongeneration will have to squarely confront those aspects of contemporary society that the generation of the 1960s so adored and reveled in-hyperreality and its resulting cynicism and panic-lest this generation be swallowed up by the and its potential forever blunted and x does not exist, and for this reason there is hope for today's young adults, no matter when they were born. These may not be "days of rage," but this may turn out to be a good thing.
