In 1997, the Times looked at Mentos and Hanson and called us “edgeless.” They dragged out Generation X rep Douglas Coupland to call us all uncool for liking the Spice Girls. We were little kids! Sorry I wasn’t an edgy 12-year-old, Doug! I wasn’t into Built to Spill yet!

I am apparently on the cusp of being a millenial as I was born in 1982. It’s no fun being on the cusp. It is fun however to witness this tiff between the generations. GEN XERS SUCK, MILLENNIALS RULE!!!
