I was thinking REM, actually.
For context, I'm doing a presentation on generations for a business
conference, and this is for a slide on differences across generations.
I know Michael Jackson really doesn't belong, but I don't want it to be all
white. Hip hop has clearly been a significant cultural influence; maybe
I'll include "hip hop" under gen Y.
you all have been quite helpful already. Thanks.
