A generation of artists

By Ryan Brown · Thursday, Dec. 6,2007 12:16 a.m.

Every morning when I wake up, I blast M.I.A. as I get ready to head to campus. My outfit usually consists of some absurd combination of eclectic clothing that the non-mainstream, highly mobilized portion of my generation finds, for unknown reasons, stylish. And yes, although I am in support of it, I am disappointed in the TV writers’ strike because some of my favorite shows, such as “South Park,” “The Office” and “The Daily Show”/“The Colbert Report” duo, are now reduced to reruns.
