Excerpt from The Federalist
Written by Ben Domenech
For being the largest generation in American history, the Millennial generation inspires a ridiculous degree of overgeneralization. It is possible for a generation of this size to include more entrepreneurs and more slackers, more libertarians and more socialists, more dedicated believers and more unchurched nones. It is also a generation split in two given the very different experiences within the cohort as it relates to social media.
