I dunno man, that's the narrative but it seems like the Occupy movement was as millenial as it was any other generation.

not a hard rule, but all this bloody internecine generational conflict on ilx makes me realize that the posters i really like tend to be members of my generational cohort.

It's funny when you think about Stein's meaning about the 'lost generation'. She was referring to all the dead and how hard it was to get a plumber or a mechanic or a builder and then on one side of the Atlantic you have America flexing its new global power and entering into an age of debauchery and growth and in France, you have all these artsy American emigrants playing at being louche or nihilistic.
