The term "Generation X" has been used at various times to describe alienated youth. In the early 1950s, Hungarian photographer Robert Capa first used "Generation X" as the title for a photo-essay about young men and women growing up immediately following World War II. The term first appeared in print in a December 1952 issue of "Holiday" magazine announcing their upcoming publication of Capa's photo-essay. From 1976 to 1981, English musician Billy Idol used the moniker as the name for his punk rock band. Idol had attributed the name of his band to the book "Generation X", a 1965 book on British popular youth culture written by journalists Jane Deverson and Charles Hamblett — a copy of which had been owned by Idol's mother. These uses of the term appear to have no connection to Robert Capa's photo-essay.
