In one morning Seth Godin observed a single adult buying Sprite, oreos, white bread, Jif, Welch's, Fritos, and a $6 chocolate bar, a fifty year old man doing card tricks for a clerk, and dozens of $65K+ cars on the street. To which he concludes that adults are kids, "but with (even more) money." Godin may have observed what New York Magazine called "grups," affluent, urban adults that stymie the generation gap by enjoying the good parts of being a grown up (money, family, career) without, you know, actually growing up.
