CLASH, I Read, is a Millennial Publication | Michael Kindt
So why am I here, a grouchy, graying Gen Xer?
Because, goddamn it, you punks need me. I remember clearly the 90s and how the prevailing society both discounted and respected us. We were losers. We were slackers. We were grungy. But we were interesting–not because we were losers and slackers and grungy, but because we were the next thing going. There were magazine articles about us, just like there are magazine articles about you.
I can tell you that what you believe now, in your early, mid, or even late 20s, is not what you are going to believe 15 years from now. You may think you have it all figured out, but you’re wrong. People evolve, and so will Millennials, many of whom are very similar to people.
If you end up in your 40s or 50s believing the exact same shit you believed in your 20s, you’re no better than the homecoming king who peaked in high school.
