I don't want to overstretch my already thin stance, but I think a lot of social groups are built on this. Finding peers that respond to your experience.
I noticed something about web convos, they're often transient blips. You vent, get validated, come back a month later, vent again. It's very shallow.
Lastly, I wonder how much of youth venting is due to having too much time on their hands. Imagining a society where people just have more things to do (but also integrated faster and smoother in the work force) ... I'd bet 10$ that people would vent less. It's not a cheap jab at young people, I had to learn that myself too.
