There seems to be a new wave of rebellion by conformity among young adult New Yorkers, called the New Victorian movement by the journalist.

Adherents to this movement are getting permanent jobs, partying until reasonable hours instead of partaking in all-night debauches, starting families while young with kids that have normal names like Charlotte and Henry, and living their lives in complete contrast to the Spring Break in Palm Beach crowd. One quote particularly stood out to me:

"“Maybe this is also fallout from the sort of these boomer ideas about what sexual freedom is,” she suggested. This theory is a popular one among New Vic observers, just as it was popular to blame the priggishness and probity of the Old Victorians on the ill example of their Georgian predecessors."

Interestingly, Jane Austen was a contemporary of the aforementioned Georgian predecessors. I guess she wasn't getting any XD
