Billy Idol

While it is a fairly recent term, I was wondering who coined the phrase?

I found this if it's of any use
A 1960s English paperback about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll in the London mod scene.

also check the archive on this site for some more details.

This definitively will be of no use whatsoever, but as an idle aside, Generation X was the name chosen by Billy Idol (of "With A Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding" fame) for his appallingly bad nascent UK punk band before he went solo. I only remember one single release, which is, trust me, a major blessing.
