One in a series of posts featuring pages from Hermenaut, a DIY intellectual zine/journal published by HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn from 1992 through 2000-01.
A glimpse at an early version of my generational re-periodization project. I’d still argue that mainstream generational periodizations are arbitrary and foolish; however, I hadn’t at that time yet figured out a way to correct for this. What I eventually decided was that my own scheme — the “4/3” business — would be overtly and risibly arbitrary. So these days I’d argue that I was born into a 1964–1973 cohort — not 1961–1971, as this page tentatively suggests. Sorry, Scott Baio — you don’t get to be in my generation.
