If I may, Mr. Lanham, I would like to go with the minority and call out the idiocy of your article. You're calling us "naive, self-important crybabies" while you simply whine on behalf the X-ers. Just pouting about how we act like AVERAGE HUMAN BEINGS by simply goofing off from time to time and not get called out for it or being coddled by our bosses at work for doing things that you would have been given no reward for is truly a sign of petty jealousy.

And also I like to talk to a specific blogger (who shall remain nameless), about his/her generalization of Gen-Y having no "life experience". Sure you have lived through the pain of AIDS, Reganomics and the like but where do you get off saying that we lack clearity. We have people just out of high school fighting an imposing enemy in decrepid terrain overseas, we're feeling the bite of STDs and unwanted pregnancies just as much as you did. So at least have the intelligence to look beyond what your mind's eye depicts of that kid with the Ipod and get in their shoes for once.

Ultimately (and I do not care if I sound TOO shallow or callous), I'm a PROUD 'Millenial'. I may listen to "factory-churned" music and wear "tacky" clothes to class, but I'm at a point in my life where I can take your well earned jobs (like you still actually 'work'), elect a clearly capable president for once, dismantle your bleak and moronic pop-culture infrastructure with our "vapid, materialistic" MTV reality shows, and ultimately reduce you the quivering, self-pitying, cynical heap you always were!
