Do any other 18-25 year olds hate their generation as much as I do? God, I'm so embarrassed to be a part of this age group.
We're spoiled, self-absorbed, gadget-obsessed pieces of shit. We're the fattest generation in America, ever, and each generation is even fatter than the last one.
Culturally (talking 2000s+) our music has sucked, our TV shows suck, our fashion is retarded. Mostly the only pockets of anything semi-decent at all is stuff we stole from previous generations. We look back to our childhood and the glory days of the 90s because we can't manage to create anything HALF as decent these days.
Educationally, we get As for doing shit work. In grade school you can practically graduate just by showing up in class once in a while. Teachers and parents are deathly afraid to criticize anyone, and this turns everyone into a spoiled self-obsessed little shit who can't handle any criticism. Everyone grows up thinking they're "special" or "gifted" even if they're a retarded little fucker fit for nothing but scrubbing crappers.
EVERYONE goes to college these days. A college diploma is practically what a high school diploma was 50 years ago. Professors give out As for what shouldn't even get a D, ESPECIALLY to the minority students.
Economically we go into a company, acting like we're BIG SHIT even if we've had no real experience whatsoever. We expect to be able to come in late in jeans and T-shirts, browse the internet for half the workday, treat the existing employees like shit, and then leave early while still charging 8 hours and demanding a ridiculous salary.
I hear that some people even have the nerve to call this generation the "Lost Generation". Fuck NO.
You know what the REAL Lost Generation went through? World War I, going through the most hellish conditions imaginable. Boo hoo hoo you think Iraq and Afghanistan are bad? Take a look at the trench warfare in World War I: getting infected with gangrene, living with huge rats, and constantly having machine gun fired at you.
Then after the 20s, suffering through the Great Depression. Look at photos of Hoovervilles. This current recession doesn't have shit on it.
Then after the 30s, another major war: World War 2. THAT is what the real Lost Generation went through. God, FUCK this generation...
