In Kids These Days, early Wall Street occupier Malcolm Harris gets real about why the Millennial generation has been wrongly stereotyped, and dares us to confront & take charge of the consequences now that we are grown up. 

Millennials have been stereotyped as lazy, entitled, narcissistic, & immature. We’ve gotten so used to sloppy generational analysis filled with dumb clichés about young people that we’ve lost sight of what really unites Millennials. Namely: 

We are the most educated & hardworking generation in American history. We poured historic & insane amounts of time & money into preparing ourselves for the 21st-century labor market. We have been taught to consider working for free (homework, internships) a privilege for our own benefit. 

We are poorer, more medicated, & more precariously employed than our parents, grandparents, even our great grandparents, with less of a social safety net to boot.
Kids These Days is about why. In brilliant, crackling prose, early Wall Street occupier Malcolm Harris gets mercilessly real about our maligned birth cohort. Examining trends like runaway student debt, the rise of the intern, mass incarceration, social media, & more, Harris gives us a portrait of what it means to be young in America today that will wake you up & piss you off. 

Millennials were the first generation raised explicitly as investments, Harris argues, & in Kids These Days he dares us to confront and take charge of the consequences now that we are grown up.
