Age matters?
I found an article online today which pissed me off. It was saying that my generation, the "Y's", have no culture. That we are lazy and spoiled individuals. Which is not surprising at all since every generation has a better time pointing out the flaws of the newest generation. The thing that really made me upset was just the generalization of us. According to the article we are dependent on MTV, we have horrible music and have contributed nothing to society. I hate MTV. I agree that there is horrible music out there but hasn't there been in all generations? They missed out on the pure fact that there is actually a growing scene of music out there, not just emo shit. The generation that I am part of has not had any time to flourish and grow. Yes there are some of us that fit these stereotypical views but most of us try to stay away from being like that. Once we do grow we can accomplish more to influence society and culture. I work hard with my 40 hours a week. I have been supporting myself without any help and am not lazy. I wonder who is to blame for the lack of culture and spoiled lazy generation they have such an easy time slamming. Hmmmm... could it be them? Well of course! Who brought up this generation? Who should have instilled them with culture to want to make it grow now a days? Who let them become lazy and spoiled? Their god damn parents. The generations before that raised us has an obvious impact on us. Just as other generations have had on them. They have such an easy time skimming off the top of our generation and not going more in depth onto what else we have contributed besides The Hills. It makes me so upset that they couldn't even point out one positive thing. I really hope that I don't end up like that with the next generation, although the thought of how they will be scares the hell out of me!
