The opening to “A Tale Of Two Cities” but it’s about thinkpieces on Millennials.

We were The Greatest Generation, we were The Lost Generation; we were a generation of misers and a generation of wastrels, we worked ourselves to death and we did not work at all, we were too delicate and too rough and too reliant on others and too independent and entrepreneurial; we needed to buy more essentials and fewer luxuries unless it was just the other way around; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…

In short, this generation was so far like every other, before it and after it, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on us being received, one way or the other, as the final herald of the downfall of all civilization.
