Millenials Quotes & Sayings

There is a whole generation of young people just like us wandering around Europe and the rest of the world, trying to find some meaning for why they are alive and what they should choose to do with their time.

It was the 60's counterculture diluted by heroin, and at the same time the last real genuine artistic response on the part of a youthful generation.
