imagine being a milennial and having your formative years where you feel youre part of the brave counterculture. you idolized grunge gen x hippies from the early 90s, you laughed at christian parents who wanted to take away your vidya, and spread some of the earliest political memes. maybe even laughed at a few 9/11 ones (though you wouldnt now). due to your arrested development, youve convinced yourself that youre still part of that brave underdog side of things, only now its popular and the media seems to support you on it (but the irony of this is lost on you). you are utterly flabbergasted by these kids who are completely opposed to it, what they do and say about these issues is beyond your understanding. how is it you, this 30-something hip english teacher gets it and the youth of today dont? theyre so helplessly out of touch, but not you, as you watch the latest black history month torture porn series.  how can you save all these deluded and brainwashed kids from themselves?!
