Can we call this group something like the children of dotcom capital? I'm thinking here of itunes and ipods, youtube (in a big way), myspace, & a lot of other corporate tech enterprises that so many 20somethings seem to be congregating around. They are like what all those failed 90s startups aspired to, but failed to attain either due to over-speculation on the part of the market or simply because the technology was just not developed enough. Um, but yea. Maggie Frank. As if the proprietors of cultural capital need this kind of pedestrian writing to assert their exclusivity...

I was pleased with that one myself:) In regards to the children of dotcom capital (nice coinage), I actually think this kind of intellectual elitism encompasses a much larger group though I would agree that 20somethings are its core. I mean, the "I love to mix mindless entertainment with my deep intellectual pursuits while enjoying a high quality of life" has been around for a while, it's much more visible on the net for some reason...
