  From your language I'd bet I'm older than you-by maybe half a century
  So for what it's worth, I don't believe you need fear sounding cynical. Normally, or overly
  I'd suggest instead you worry about sounding condescending and supercilious. Labels that at best get you ignored. At worst earn you disdain and disregard
  I mean, no one gave you permission to speak for us. So you have no right to declare "We" aren't expected to think critically, etc.  Besides "critical thinking" is a meaningless junk phrase coined by Educators unable to teach "Disciplined reasoning"
  You might also note: Those who can most help you in the future won't care about what you Aren't. What you are Against. What you're afraid of sounding like
  Only whether you stand For anything. Whether you have the courage publicly say it. Can intelligently defend it. And especially whether you do something to achieve it, or just sit an whine
  Your generation's turn to grow up. Don't like your world? Well, it will be your fault
