Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

I disagree, I think we were plenty arrogant... but that not such a bad thing.

We were much cooler than those people :P

Here's a piece of decent advice from me to you: take everything you read in New York with a itty bitty grain of salt. Every time I read it (and I often take it out from the library), something in it pisses me off. It's supposed to be a magazine for New York and about New York, but this city's got 8 million people and even more mentalies (you have to account for the crazy guys on the street that may be MPD or something). Whose New York is it? Certainly not mine.

I consider myself a masochist for reading New York; it lets me get out my masochistic tendencies. Other people like to get flogged, I read New York.

It was less central to our social interaction. There were plenty of us who were pretty straight-up (pun intended) about their sexual orientation and gender identity - myself, for example - and we still had a place in the group. It sounds from this article, which I'm sure is somewhat sensationalized, that group bisexual and homosexual making out is what these guys are all about.

We were also less arrogant. Less arrogant might not be the best word. Maybe, more self-aware. We were examining ourselves in ways these people don't seem to be doing. They're just exploring; we were discovering.

Or maybe I'm just getting crotchety at an early age. Who knows?

I was talking to Xi and Cyrus about this the other day. I swear the only reason they did an article on these kids is that they are prettier than our group. It is quite sensationalized in the magazine, and they present it as if it's something new, which it's not. I mean, there have been groups of kids like this for frickin' years. It just hasn't really been all that publicized.
