Generation X is a 1965 book by Charles Hamblett and Jane Deverson. It contains interviews with teenagers who were part of the Mod subculture. It began as a series of interviews commissioned by Woman's Own magazine, where Deverson worked. The interviews detailed a culture of promiscuous and anti-establishment youth, and was seen as inappropriate for the magazine. [Asthana, Anushka & Thorpe, Vanessa.

Generation X, a band that Billy Idol formed in 1976, was named after the book.
