The Economist Thinks Dashboard Confessional, Tight Pants, Earnestness All Totally Suck

I?? trying to figure out if The Economist?? (firewalled) thumbnail description of emo kids quoted below is a triumph of cluelessness or a triumph of incisiveness:

Bryan [that?? Rod Bryan, Arkansas?? independent gubernatorial candidate] is gaining support from disenfranchised Generation Xers and ??mo kids?(young people afflicted with melancholia), besides baby-boomers who are disillusioned with the spin and double-talk of politics.

Actually, no, I’m not. Incisiveness. By a mile.
