I Pan For Gold In Millennial Era Streams
..............
Rolling Stone recently published a Millennial 100 list. That is, the biggest movers, shakers, memes, fads and shows in recent pop culture.
Here, I place all 100 into four categories: Flash-In-The-Fan forgettables, Can’t-Get-‘Em-Out-Of-My-Beds, Memorables, and Greats. And at the end I rank the ‘greats’.
And here’s a key to what each category represents:
1. Flash-In-The-Fan Forgettables: By 2050 they'll be forgotten by all but a few.
2. Can’t-Get-‘Em-Out-Of-My-Beds: They'll remain with us as frustratingly hard to forget regrettables.
3. Memorables: They'll be remembered by history, but not considered great.
4. Greats: The best from the Millennial era.
