We’re young and in the midst of creating ourselves. This is a time for us to celebrate and embrace our natural image through the process of internal and external growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As young people, our challenge is to ‘be the change.’ As the first generation dealing with these particular online pressures, we also need to be the generation that rejects the standards that push us to edit ourselves. If we begin to post our photos, feeling secure in our imperfections and encouraging others to do the same, the current standards of beauty may slowly become obsolete. Just as Instagram has become a forum to peddle perfection, it has also become a place for young people to own our flaws and embrace the realities of our bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we value love and acceptance above toned thighs; when we focus more on accepting all body types, shapes and sizes; when enough of us stop buying into -- and \"liking\" -- altered, unattainably flawless images, then wider media will eventually adapt to fit our interests and reshape what perfection looks like. This shift is already underway \u003ca href=\"http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/09/10/tess-holliday-curve-fashion-festival-plus-size-model/\">on runways\u003c/a>, where recent years have seen designers featuring models with previously \"unacceptable\" body types.

How are we watching TV? Why are so many us still living in our parents' basements? As a Millennial, I often find myself clicking on these clickbait headlines and reading said studies, often on my mobile device, usually while streaming music -- you know, like a Millennial. Why do I bother reading them? Probably because I'm a self-involved member of the \"Me\" Generation (as more than a few Millennial studies have concluded!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But more often than not, I'm also fascinated by the breathless, anthropological tone many of these articles adopt: as though American Millennials' behavior around money and politics and relationships and technology is taking place in a vaccuum, instead of being the direct, understandable result of having come of age during or immediately following the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. With George W. Bush as president.

We'll get into this some down the road; one reason so many studies on Millennials vs. other generations are nearly meaningless is that they're comparing a much larger group of people born during a much longer span of years to a smaller and more clearly defined group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20054\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-20054\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"A famous Millennial, lending her support to a non-Millennial who very much understands that she needs Millennials. \" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600-75x75.jpg 75w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/lena-dunham-a-600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured here is a famous Millennial, lending her support to a non-Millennial who very much understands that she needs Millennials.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But for our purposes, we're going to say Millennials are people who were born sometime between the early '80s and the mid-'90s. And if you haven't heard -- here I'm speaking to my fellow Millennials; we tend to respond well to first-person writing and a casual, familiar tone! -- we Millennials are changing the world. This means that the world (the media, entertainment, food and beverage industries, the housing market, technology, political institutions, etc. ) must, in turn, change with us -- if they're going to get any of our money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surely the most entertaining result of this need for change is a neverending stream of studies, all conducted with a goal of determining how best to appeal to us: What do Millennials think about organic food? How are we watching TV? Why are so many us still living in our parents' basements? As a Millennial, I often find myself clicking on these clickbait headlines and reading said studies, often on my mobile device, usually while streaming music -- you know, like a Millennial. Why do I bother reading them? Probably because I'm a self-involved member of the \"Me\" Generation (as more than a few Millennial studies have concluded!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But more often than not, I'm also fascinated by the breathless, anthropological tone many of these articles adopt: as though American Millennials' behavior around money and politics and relationships and technology is taking place in a vaccuum, instead of being the direct, understandable result of having come of age during or immediately following the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. With George W. Bush as president. While new forms of technology specifically aimed at changing the way we do business and form relationships emerge and become indispensable at a previously unimaginable rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So!
