Since 2005 I told friends and family if I was ever a billionaire I would have a large person carry me in a baby bjorn and now I well up with tears seeing it in action.
Once upon a time the people of Generation X were called "slackers." We had no direction in life, felt disenfranchised, and went from one dead-end job to the next. Copeland wrote a book about us, and Kevin Smith made Clerks about us. Our music wasn't as good as the hippie generation, and of course the parents of the hippies are now known as the Greatest Generation.
Once upon a time the youth of the 1960s were called hippies. "Turn on, tune in, drop out" was the mantra of the day. They joined communes, did drugs, and went to mass marches. They only thought of today, and never tomorrow. People went on TV and wrote long editorials about the death of American culture. It was all Dr. Spock's fault for encouraging permissiveness and an expectation of instant gratification.
Once upon a time the youth were called greasers ... beatniks ... flappers ... the list goes on.
So to the Millennials, welcome to the club. On behalf of history, I apologize. Promise me that in 30 years you won't write the same stories about the next generation?
A. Oh deer.
