Book, music, and lyrics by Mickey Zetts





What does it really mean to be Generation X? 
Find out by
following the wacky adventures of six friends romp and roll through the apathetic fog of the '90s

Flash back to the life and death of grunge; the birth of Internet cafes; blowjobs in the white house; Lollapalooza.  When Schleppin’ Jones’ manipulative girlfriend gives her best friends the acid trip of their lives, he watches them break free from life as they know it.

Re-live your youth with this colorful cast of characters: Schleppin' Jones, the poor schmuck always on the outside; Babbet, the happy bitch we love to hate; Laka, a pregnant couch potato; Nicodemus, the sarcastic punkFilander, a bundle of frenetic energy; and Tangerine, the ditzy blonde.

 

If HAIR gave a voice to the outcasts of the 1960s, APATHY follows in its footsteps, giving Gen Xers a social icon they can finally call their own.  Cut them open and they'll be bleeding APATHY.
