The Making of Millennials
Selfie, a book on the Millennial generation, not only explains why Millennials are the way they are, but also tells the history behind how they got that way.
I’ve been disputing it for a few years now, but it seems that no matter which source I read, I find that I am part of the Millennial generation. I don’t like this. I was born in 1985. My childhood was spent outside, not in front of a computer, and I didn’t have my first cellphone until I was 18. I don’t take pictures of myself with my phone — in fact, my phone isn’t even my primary camera — and I don’t post minute-by-minute updates of my life on social media. I don’t want anything to do with all the negative stereotypes that are associated with being a “Millennial.”
And so, when a book entitled Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed and What It’s Doing to Us by Will Storr came across my desk, I was instantly intrigued. Surely this book would justify my reasoning that I wasn’t a Millennial, right?
