Listening to a Cal Newport interview and he tossed out this label to describe us and particularly teenagers who are coming awake to the fact that that is the role carved out for them by the big media companies

He says the thing that makes him happy lately is that more and more saying "I'm not on social media" is cool and counterculture for teens. It's this generation's punk rock.
