ATA-Adams bday chat by Across The Aisle

The ATA boys talk about millennials, and generations as a concept. Since they are all millennials, they have Bill Gascoyne come in as a barely genXer to wax nostalgia. They spend a lot of time talking about the shifting shape of nerd culture, comic books, and video games. Zak insists on being the most millennial, Bill challenges us to go Amish, Adam shows his distrust in modern politics, and Kaison says the system is a step ahead of us. AND they discuss 9/11 a lot, while repeating- the world is a scary fucking place.
