These young peoples' minds work much differently than what most of us know to be common sense. They grew up in a world where mediocrity is celebrated --- as long as you frame it a certain way.
Yeah, there are a few that give the monotone interview about hard work and perseverance, but they're just going through the motions.
These youngins really can't help themselves from constantly telling the world that they are great. That they are special. That they make a difference.
Even if it's not true.
It's weird to us, but normal for them. Just the way it is.
