Climate change, the future of social security, the return of crop tops — life just keeps getting better and better for millennials, doesn't it?

When we're not Wikipedia-ing random shit and then immediately talking about said shit like we've known it our whole lives, it seems we Millennials are subject to the same gender disparities in our burgeoning careers as any other age group, only perhaps more so.

Elizabeth Wurtzel is pissed at today's youth—which she dubs "the lamest generation"—because they suck at being in their 20s. And she should know, because she's 46. Or something? Also, she finds Lena Dunham's thighs "inexcusable." Can 60 Minutes just give her Andy Rooney's vacated segment already? » 9/30/13 12:00pm 9/30/13 12:00pm

Controversial opinion alert: I don't hate Fox & Friends. Even more controversial opinion alert: I sort of love it.

Ah, another day, another trend piece about how basically everybody between the ages of 18 and 34 is an indolent jerk unwilling or unable to fully fledge and leave the parental nest, where things like premium cable and assorted breakfast cereals can be had for the price of awkward mealtime conversations about life… » 8/17/13 1:30pm 8/17/13 1:30pm

Sorry, trend-piece writers, you sweet and clueless scribes: it's really, really time to cast aside your moral panic and that blunt reed you were planning on using to inscribe upon a clay tablet a record of the strange mating habits of the college-aged millennial.
