Hmmm.... I'm very concerned that this 'think tank' and others are perpetuating these buzzwords to denigrate whole generations, and in turn that is harnessed and then captioned by a dictionary definition.
It is interesting that in every generation youth who inspire a movement or share an opinion on social, civil or global justices they are labelled and mocked.
