So, older Millenials and college aged Gen X'ers would've been the audience. What's My Name? dropped in 1993. Gen X was 13-31, Millenials were unborn-12. So definitely Gen X, but Millennials would've been around for Snoop's later projects. Straight Outta Comptom dropped in 1987. Millenials were 6 at the oldest. So NWA is Gen X, but his later work is spread over Millenials. BTW, Gen X was 3-18 for MJ's first moonwalk. That's solidly a Gen X event. They were the target for all of MJ's peak popularity. Boomers are the gap between the Jackson 5 and Thriller, Gen X is the generation of Billie Jean. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif <cite>ChocoboMog123 posted [p:962652327] in The half t...
