Abstract

The article looks at the relationship between the millennial generation and the baby boomer generation. Popular culture related to millennials is discussed including the television show "Girls," the group blog "Thought Catalog," and the Tumblr blog "F##K! I'm in My Twenties." The generation's narcissism is explored, noting that the idea that all young adults are searching for identity-based work is unfair and incorrect. The poverty and unemployment that many twentysomethings, including young families, face are noted. The author posits that adults of the previous generation are encouraging, through the media, the notion that twentysomethings are narcissistic.
