Kids These Days.

With their mumble rap and their Snapchats and their memes. They think they’ve got it all figured out, don’t they?

Well, come to think of it, some of them do have it all figured out. They’ve got swagger and confidence. They live every week like it’s Shark Week.

But then again, some of them are just little jerks. Entitled brats who can’t cope with failure. Just you wait… those kids will get what’s coming to them.

And still, some of them are just so bored of the same old same old “millennial” tropes. Calling them “sensitive snowflakes” is just tired.
