Twentysomethings fear both marriage and divorce, seeing them as economic liabilities, and willingly sacrifice lasting relationships in order to pursue good times and a quick buck. "We may be seeing a massive change that would mean that romantic love and courtship might be giving way to something altogether new," said one researcher. "Or we may be in a period of cultural cluelessness." Based on the music they listen to, bet the latter.
