On microgenerations and kids these days, or whatever 'these days' means these days.

The Illuminati adjacent and their client billionaires have been chipping away at our foundation bit by bit. I'm happy see people of all ages returning to that old-time revolution, and I hear the desire to use it, not as a way back to the past, but as a way to explore and fashion the future. The future, though, is getting harder and harder to believe in. No future for you, for us. We need the future to have something to aim at. But, jeez, it's so butt-ugly.

In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen invents the term microgenerations (please do not attempt to verify) and considers what happens when cultural time speeds up, and Lorde and Sia aren't new artists anymore, when Twin Peaks Season Three is perfect and ungraspable and the future doesn't exist and is butt-ugly to boot.
