Sociologist: So in your opinion, what differentiates Millennials from the previous generations?

Millennials: Well, probably growing up in a post-9/11 and post-Bush Wars world, plus the Great Recession and the instability of our financial futures and the exposure of widespread police brutality and the corporate stranglehold on governments -

Baby boomers: Social media social media social media social media social media social media social media social media SOCIAL MEDIA

What she says: fun. is my favorite band

What she means: I've been suffering for three years straight. Sometimes I can't remember the last time I heard We Are Young on the radio, it was a better time, full of sunshine and happiness. Will there be another album? Will I ever regain that part of my heart that I lost in 2012? And don't say it gets better, that only makes me remember what I'm missing, this part of my being that aches...

If any fandom wants to know some horrible suffering, become a fun. fan.

Want to google the band? Okay, here’s about 20 results and the rest of them are the word fun in cartoon letters and pictures of Spongebob.

Want to track the tag on tumblr? Okay, here’s people tagging their posts with “fun.” because they use periods in their tags. 100% of them have nothing to do with the band and they currently take up 90% of the tag.

Want to search them on Twitter? Okay, well the period won’t count so you’ll have to shift through everything that is tagged with the word “fun”.

Want to search for rare vinyls/sold out merchandise? Okay, here’s absolutely none of that.

Trying to look up the lead singer? Alright, here’s the songs he did with other people and then you’ll get the band (before he went solo).

Trying to look up anyone else other than Jack Antonoff? Good luck.

Don’t even get me started on Bleachers.
