re: kluivertus "what a bogus set of articles"
i couldn't disagree more. both are full of funny, insightful truth -- smart but in many ways also sad. i agree gen x was neglected, shat on; i agree the millenial (hate the name, btw) is naive, pampered.
i think both writers agree on that; the difference is who's to blame, and this is when they both, in the end, get it wrong -- the people who are to blame aren't your parents or your kids or the media or whoever. it's ourselves. it always is.
in any case, kudos to lanham and preene for some thought-provoking, humorous and, most importantly, spot-on cultural writing.
this coming from, according to the first article's cut-off for generational delineation, something of an in-betweener: i was born in 1982.
i did enjoy your use of the word "bogus" though, kluivertus. i'm guessing this means you're a gen x-er? or just a millenial with retro vocab?
