Songs of My Selfie does all of that and more. Our hope is to show our fellow millennials that no one’s alone – that we’re all experiencing this together – and to clear up our hopes, fears, and real-life experiences for anyone who wants to understand what being twenty-something in 2016 is actually like.” Renfrow ends her introduction with this blurb: The book kicks itself off with an introduction by the editor, Constance Renfrow, explaining the necessity of this collection and the importance of these voices. Songs of My Selfie: An Anthology of Millennial Stories is a series of seventeen essays, all written by people under the age of twenty-six. Unfortunately for people who think in such a manner, they are supremely mistaken. Chances are, anyone not a millennial (or younger) will draw quick conclusions of what they might find in a book with such a title: vain rantings, complaints about the difficulties of pampered youth, and stories filled with the words “bae,” “iPhone,” “OMG,” and “hashtag.” After all, millennials are all the same and can be lumped so easily into one category, right? Purchase: Powell’s | Amazon | IndieBound | Barnes & Nobleįor anyone born before the year 1980, coming across the book Songs of my Selfie: An Anthology of Millennial Stories in a bookstore may be somewhat off-putting.
