I dunno man, that's the narrative but it seems like the Occupy movement was as millenial as it was any other generation.― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, May 1, 2012 1:12 PM (10 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

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.
