  •      I was reading this article online about a "new generation of kids" and let me just say I was really angry at a particular statement that was made. "The kids in "Frontrunners" are the leading edge of what's being called
    the millennials—the cohort born after 1982—but you might call them the
    Look at Me Generation." heres the link. Look At Me Generation? I think thats pretty condescending in a way it's like they're saying that we're attention starved. Yet there maybe some truth to this. What do you think about this "Look at Me Generation" title? Personally I don't think that the year range is correct.

  • Weird, I would have thought that would have applied to an age group a little later than '82... Generation titles are always a little weird, though.

    Thanks for your comment, and for stopping by. :)

  • Well, personally I think that is some new formal approach to stereotype the young.

    Or I can just go along with it but disagree by saying people born in the late 60s and early 70s (Marilyn Manson, J-Lo, P Diddy, etc) crave attention. I mean, just look at them. Aren't they just a little attention happy?

    Then, there is another way to look at it. American Society has become increasingly more celebrity crazed. We thrive on pop culture, entertainment, and everything else in between. Television, drugs, all that jazz...is more...relevant and popular. Yet again, if you went back to any period here within 50 years, its been just the same way, just portrayed differently.

    So basically, what I'm trying to say is, that article is  EPIC FAIL.
