Fact: In the world today more and more young adults are joining the blog world. The Pew Internet and American Life Project estimated that, in 2006, there were nearly 12 million adults writing and publishing work on web blogs. (Source)
No telling how many are blogging today.
Opinion: This is a good thing.
That said, I'd like to advertise for some friends of mine who's work I find enjoyable. This group of young adults, most of them Austinites, write for a blog they call Loco Nunca and write from the perspective of "Generation Y". Their work is hilarious, a little obscene but worth reading if you like to identify with youth culture in a humorous way.
Their topics range from music and art to sex, politics, partying and fashion. Some of their entries are rants, others reviews, but what's great about their site is that they have a variety of writers who all offer a different opinion on the topics of today's youth culture.
Alongside the writing, Loco Nunca also throws sponsored parties and makes videos, just to better capture the essence of youth culture in Austin.
Check out some of their work, or join them tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz as they submit one of their short films in the first annual Alamo Public Access.
