Bet you wouldn't be saying the same thing if you had met the youth here in my city.
Most girls here in my city are inspired to become WAGS (wives and girlfriends of high-profile football players) or to become pregnant at an early age as they then do not have to work at all.
The young men don't have any ambition just want to go out and get drunk/drugged and don't seem to have any goals in life. This is obviously not the case for all of them it just seems to me to be a large majority which is pretty disheartening and scary if you ask me.
What happened to wanting to become Doctors,Vets,Nurses,Fireman etc.To help people and help to make the world we live in a better place?

That was the most naive OP I've ever seen. This generation is a bunch of self-hating pussies they can't get over their own anxieties and insecurities to even rally into any identifiable cause or direction. Their music sucks, their culture sucks, and they're being raised to be self-entitled uneducated victims with retarded notions of one day being rock stars or famous yet they have no idea how to reach or work for it. I have absolutely no hope for this generation.
And what exactly did the hippies accomplish? Aside from kick ass music and drugs, they really did nothing except settle for the beginnings of the system we're seeing now once the drugs wore off and sex was no longer free.edit on 3-12-2010 by Joehio because: (no reason given)

Makes you wonder, if the previous generations were so damn great, how come they never brought any kind of revolution? What is your excuse?

Since when has an entire demographic ever stood up together? Never. It is only the intelligent, the awake, the brave who do something...not the entire population or in this case generation. We exist. We are organizing. We are trying....but never judge us for problems we had no part in creating.
Remember back during the Vietnam Era when the hippies made a statement, that the Establishment must change?
it was the new beginning of the freedom revolution, but as time moved along things just stagnated and the message became lost, because the economy,wars,fashion,freedoms,psychology had all changed, and the times had changed.
I find it refreshing and inspiring in this new world order that's being forced down our throats, that our children will lead the battle to the new freedom revolution. they are smarter than all generation before them, and are equipped with state of the art communication weapons and are globally connected to each other, with the same goals and concerns.

i was afraid that the media and the government suppressors had them so utterly brainwashed into believing they couldn't stand up and fight, that all was lost. because the rest of us were caught in a stalemate with our survival and personal obligations, not including the threats to us at every angle about national security issues, if we stood up to the plate to take the establishment on.
our children are organizing, and the powers that be better take notice and change their way of thinking because our kids have got a message for them they aren't gonna be able to control or stop.
it makes me proud

What gives you the right to slam our generation? Especially with false information....
"And they're being raised to be self-entitled uneducated victims with retarded notions of one day being rock stars or famous yet they have no idea how to reach or work for it. I have absolutely no hope for this generation."
Really? Who is being raised this way? For ever privileged kid like this there are 100 growing up in poverty...
And again...WHO RAISED THEM?! YOU GUYS DID!
Are you currently organizing anything to help our current situation? That YOU created? I AM!
How can one get off CREATING the huge mess we are in, and then criticizing us for not fixing it?! Then to bitch about how we were raised, when YOU raised us.
Our generation was handed a big steaming pile of crap, because you people in the previous generations cared only about yourselves, and built up a huge debt USING us as collateral.
We still have time to prove ourselves....and it is assuring to know that we can't possibly mess up to the degree previous generations did.
You say we will fail, YOU DID FAIL.

Because I know and watch you. Watch MTV, listen to any of your popular music, look at your fashion, your generation is listless, stupid and easily led. You are what you were made and you were screwed from birth, no one is denying that. However there's no hope with your generation. It's just going to be brainless drones who'll carry a rifle in a third world hellhole or the ones transferring calls to Indian call centers for single digits an hour. You won't rise up because you don't know how and because you've been taught to direct your energy inward and towards retarded pursuits. And I have the right to slam your generation because I know it and I know what's coming from it, nothing.edit on 4-12-2010 by Joehio because: (no reason given)

You are painting an entire generation with a pretty broad brush dontchathink?
All the people I know grew out of MTV at 15 like everyone else, and are in college educating ourselves.
You do know more of us are going to college than any previous generation right? and we are dumb...
