Thoughts on the 2012 film the Perks of Being a Wallflower, and how it works within the generational story model, with an associated look at the 1983 Suicidal Tendencies song "Institutionalized" and how each represents (and perceives) Generation X.

Episodes like this one, that are primarily about movies or stories, will be under this "A Story Aside" imprint. (Previous ones have simply had "Aside" at the start but that seemed incomplete.)

They'll use the generational stories model described at http://stories.generationalize.com/

Some worthwhile starting points there are Introduction to Generations, the Generational Attributes and the Four Stories.
