Up with Grups, an article in New York Magazine , discusses the closing generation gap, as evidenced by the narrowing differences between people in their 40’s and those in their 20’s. Something about this piece rubbed me the wrong way, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s the conflation of cultural evolution with generational preferences? Or of musical nostalgia with retro fads? Or maybe it’s the overhyping of a mostly urban phenomenon? And what about the Internet’s role in all this?
