      I used to think that the web would become a strange pit of snark and conspiracy theories – and, in certain areas, it is. But the dominant tone on the web these days is one of Buzzfeedish enthusiasm and emojied exclamation marks and joining in to be part of the zeitgeist.

      New York magazine's Jesse Singal helpfully suggests thinking of the generation as two distinct groups: "Old Millennials" and "Young Millennials." Singal pegs the main differences between the two to the rise of smartphones and the onset of the global financial crisis.
