@AdrianChen I had to read Howe and Strauss in college. Woof. -

@AdrianChen That you didn't already know that is the most millennial thing of all. -
@AdrianChen@caraellison The very concept of "generations" is basically a marketing thing. -
@AdrianChen@caraellison Unsurprisingly, so was the concept of "teenagers." -
@AdrianChen@mikesacco Wait, but what about cross-generational friendships, sentiments and knowledge exchanges? -
@AdrianChen they have names for the next generation and even the one after. They're planning ads for 5 year olds right now -
@AdrianChen That article doesn’t mention Howe and Strauss's failed attempt to rebrand Generation X:http://www.amazon.com/13th-Gen-Abort-Retry-Ignore/dp/0679743650 … -
@AdrianChen one of whom also founded The Capitol Steps! -
@AdrianChen What do we do about it? I recently learned that removing PE from schools has proved a failure. Reference the book Spark
