If we break all the mirrors we won't have to look at our own ugliness

Here's a video that is what happens when New York Times articles about millennials are made flesh:



New York Times' writer's sexual nightmare: "It's called "Uhh Yeah Dude" and vlogs privacy changing the workforce Mark Zuckerberg politically engaged Vice Magazine Second Life and their attire? Let's just say it's "business casual." Real casual."

Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette, creators of Uhh Yeah Dude: We're on it. [sound of them making it flesh].

Jonathan Larroquette's parents:

"I think we should name him John Larroquette"
========================
This blog post reminds me of when they see the pizza part of the corporatized documentary on Reality Bites, and makes me feel Gen X.

Which reminds me: here's a scene from my upcoming novel about clashes on the frontlines of the quiet GenX-Millennial cultural civil war:

The Gen Xer and the Millennials are in a Rock-n-Roll McDonald's in Dubai. First the Gen Xer orders and says like "McChicken Classic Cripsy Club" all condescending and droll and it turns his girlfriend on so they make passionate, brutally violent love until they realize they're just bodies.
Cut to the Millennials making chicken McNugget mashups in solitary glass cages with scrolling twitter feeds projected on their faces.

It's written from the point of view of an asshole.

The Internet? Let's just get rush tickets to RENT

You can't keep Gen-X down

Here's another way to make a zine: fold a piece of paper into get a blog.

And then this reminded me of a video zine (Remember?) but it turns out it's from 2006.

This is what happens when you search "cool music" on Yahoo!. ZING! This reminded me 1) of watching "Reality Bites" with a girl who made me not talk 2) Getting a free AIDS test w/my lover (dreads over here) and 3) a lot of situations I've hated being in. This one starts with
college friend: my co-worker David is having a BBQ you should totally come. You'd really like him.
me: Oh fer sher. What's his deal?
cf: He's in a band and his friends are all like *cRaZy* artists
me: Oh cool
cf: It's, like, an alt-country band. They're pretty big.
me: great
cf: But it's like..He has an MFA and he writes poetry so ...
me: Wow. Great.
cf: And I'm gonna go ahead and let you know he's like 35+
me: I'm still excited about the poetry
cf: Yeah, he published a collection. It's called "Actual Air."
me: Beautiful. That's beautiful. "Actual Air." Shivers.
cf: Sometimes he does ironic Britney Spears covers..if HE GETS DRUNK ENOUGH!!!!
me: I really think the world needs that right now
both: LET'S GET READY TO NOT REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH FUUUU-UUUUNNN
