Where The Young People Are

*Que High English accent* Hello, it's David Attenborough wannabe, Wynona Lavota here, how are you all? Splendid, it's really smashing to hear you're 'not too bad'. Really, truly riveting stuff. Let's move on.
I've just returned from an undercover operation to determine where it is that young people, now called Generation Y, go to regroup and share information and what I've found is truly extraordinary.
It seems Generation Y, despite being constantly branded as highly individualistic; seem to seek out each other’s comfort and companionship. No, truly; while incognito on my fact-finding mission, I noted that they invaded coffee-selling venues pre-determined either in groups or in singular states and socialised with each other as if this was one big communal gathering where polite distance was not required and conversation flowed freely. Truly spectacular to behold, these creatures that usually mind their own business and listen to MP3 players or only socialise with already befriended group members can indeed interact freely with each other. Extraordinary.
But moving ever on, my research has provided further evidence to support my predecessors claims that sound waves hold powerful sway over the youngsters of today. They gather at pubs with local bands, they stomp dance floors to techno beats and they sway in mosh pits of gigantic proportions. The location doe snot matter, the vibrations caused by the sounds do. They need music; it's like a prerequisite to being part of this generation. They need it to get their adrenalin rushing and they need it to comfort them in their utter misery. In group formation of as solo shooting stars, they will actively seek out locations where music is played.
And finally, public spaces. The young people of today will exercise, stroll and simply be, in parks, fields, bush land and beaches. For all their technology and hair dye, it seems they still feel an affinity with nature. How remarkable that after eons of evolution, their most basic instructs, although subdued, have not been quashed. What beauty.
