They’re starting MASA to circumvent that.

Say what you will about millennials — they’re trophy-hungry automatons whose valorization of their own self-esteem impedes their ability to develop interesting personalities and their comically earnest and perpetually irritating self-righteousness only serves to underline just how naive their understanding of the way power dynamics really work in societal structures is, plus you can never tear them away from the phones they keep close to themselves as if they were the only source of non-parental affection they’ve found in this world, which according to the Post is in fact the case — but they’re not stupid.

At least the author managed to work a compliment in there.

Even as a millennial who has sex on occasion, I can’t help but approve of this article. Lot of truth there.

It’s funny how true it is actually. It used to be that teenagers and such wanted to grow up as quickly as possible (and having sex was a big way of proving that). But it’s kind of flipped now.

On the other hand, this might not completely be the case, because when you think about it millennials aren’t teenagers anymore so maybe it’s the transitioning into the adult world (and realizing that maybe it isn’t something they to happen as quickly as possible) that’s making them want to be kids again.

By your own definition, I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t point out that you’re a dick.

I once saw a system that puts a subdivision within Gen-Y in 1993 to take into account how warped the kids with no memory of the time before ubiquitous high-speed internet have turned out. I have a sister born in 1992 who’s totally fine, and my good friend’s little brother was born in 1994 and is a fucking weirdo, so I’ve seen it in stark relief and I think there’s something to that.

Yeah, it’s weird. I fall pretty squarely near the middle of the Millennial generation (which makes me filth) but I will always have more in common with someone born in 1982 than someone born in 1996, despite being the same distance in years away from me. Constant internet access changed kids, man.

It’s weird. I was born in 1995 and yet I feel have more in common with those born in 1982 than in 1996.

Well I guess that’s probably an exaggeration but there is some truth to it. It’s more than just what year you were born, it depends on a lot of things. I didn’t really have full access to the internet until about 2007 or 2008 and didn’t have a smart phone until last year.

I guess this is the sort of thing that I hate most about talking about generations - sweeping generalizations.

Lol, but there are many more comments if you “load more comments.”
