I hate my generation
 

Yes, indeed I do.
I don't know what it's like at other schools but it's just full of these 'gangters' who ride yellow school buses. Theres kids who play video games all day, no life, just games. My generation is a corporation's big wish, a bunch of losers working over the grill.
Though there are some good and cool people as well, like you guys!
Oh well.
What can I do?

i know how you feel like man. same here all these wannabe 'gangsters' are everywhere. we could have a war you know

Yeah, your generation can all fuck off and go fuck yourselves.

i agree

we all hate your generation too.

Worry less about what others do and more about how you represent yourself.

you should take yr advice to heart, miss red karma.:D
I know though, its true.

I am a living example of the gospel that is my every utterance.

I recently learned I'm part of so called MeWe -generation. Swell!
"young individualists born around the mid-80's, who create a diverse network of friends and acquaintances in both the real life and online and acquire experiences by travelling etc."

Yeah! too bad I'm not social or easygoing or have a personal livejournal or myspace page. But it's nice to be part of a generation!

ohh
come on
stop whining
all generations have their losers, posers, "gangsters", hipsters, etc

and we are the hipsters of our generation (ha)
so what?

I'm not a hipster. Too much of a loner to be a hipster.

emo-loner-hipster
ha
:-)

At least Eddie Vedder isn't part of your generation. I'm dying over here!

No way. I don't fit any of the emo or hipster stereotypes.

BIG DEAL!

very individually- non-stereotypical - emo - loner - hipster

(i hope you know that i´m just kidding)

:eek::rolleyes::cool:;)

if you dont like these guys so much, why don't just kick their asses, if not, then stop crying about it. I dont know about other schools, but the gangsters at the schools i went to were actually gang banging. they might actually be inclined to take your shit at gun point (something they have to do, cuz without the gun you might just fuck em up) or at the least, make square nerdy rock n roll art kids lives difficult. the only option was to be tougher then them, and then you all get along just fine.

some people are different then you.
some people would rather play video games then play guitar.
some people would rather dress as a ganster then a hipster

BIG FUCKING DEAL.

I know what you mean, being 22 i'm outside of your generation (I hope! cus it seems 15-18 yr olds are worse than they were when i was at school), but me and my friends were the outisders at my school 4-6 years ago, there were 8 of us that didn't fit in in the group of 150-200. When you leave school and look back on it, you realise just how outside the rest of the yeargroup you are. The thing is, the guys i hung around with at school were genuine people who valued people for who they are inside not what you listen to or what you dress like. We're all still really good friends and most of the other groups of "friends" went on to make more fairweather friends and forgot about the people they hung around with in school

I think our generation spans everyone born from about 1980-2000.

FUCK, so I'm in the emo kid generation? I thought my generation had nothing to offer, now I know it. I often wonder when we'll get our musical revolution
50s=elvis
60s=beatles, hippys
70s=punk,sabbath,zep
80s=joy division, hardcore, goth
90s=grunge, aphex twin, prodigy
00s=umm... uninspired rehashes of above generations? It's the same in cinema, probably about 30% of all movies in cinemas these days are remakes or sequels

You know that thing about 'whoever won the war writes the history'? Well, the historical revisionists of modern times are BORING OLD MEN WITH THEIR STUPID BORING STUPID BLOKE MUSIC STUPID.

Look... there is, was, and ever shall be shit music in every generation. For every one Jimi Hendrix there are a million Adam Faiths. I can't stand Hendrix, but don't lets let that interfere with the point - the point is that it's easy to look back on the musical fashions of yesteryear and forget quite how much shit there is around.

A personal observation - all the of the generation old enough to be 'into' the first wave of British punk (so, they were 17-25 in 76/77) think that punk is shit. The kids who were a little younger think punks the shit, and post-punk/ baggy/ goth/ new-wave is shit (etc etc). My brother is the grunge generation - he saw Nirvana on the Bleach tour. He thought they were shit. He thinks all grunge is shit. The historical revisionists are the people who try and create the idea that there was a better 'scene' than there ever was. There rarely is a scene, it's nearly always a creation of rose-tinted glasses wearing wankers without careers and NME journalists.

No generation has anything particularly... I have plenty of friends across most generations... the jazz generation of the 50's through to kids now. And I can say, pretty safely, that save for a few bores, most of them just enjoy what they enjoy, and don't care about some journalistic edifice.

PLEASE KIDS, ENJOY BEING YOUNG, AND DON'T EVER WISH YOU WERE IN ANOTHER GENERATION.

Phew. Sorry, gets my goat this one...

i guess you're right, for every beatles there's 10 times more monkees but I just can't see much exciting in music these days apart from SY, radiohead and other bands that started up in the early 90s. What i'm getting at is since I've been old enough to go to gigs there hasn't been many band that have done anything new or interesting

I haven't a generation.Just bills.Die.

that´s just not true

word

Ok... You're a nice chap, I'll not be nasty.

But you're wrong. You're looking in the wrong places. Look elsewhere. You want recommendations, there's a load of people here who can tell you what's exciting at the moment. To be honest, I can sympathise with your position. But I stopped listening to purely guitar-based music a long time ago.

Check out some Soukous. Try the local jazz scene (they're often all-ages). Do a bit of research on the internet. Listen to some Gamelan. Try to think of music as something that is made with things, rather than as something made by men with guitars.

im glad there is diversity in generations, then we arent mindless robots. some people are into TOTALLY different things which if fucking SPECTACULAR! it preserves individuality, all the gansters, posers, punks, emos, arts, geeks, beats

ITS ALL COOL!!

If you think there is no exciting music being made by current bands, you are not looking hard enough.

Well for starters you can get the Daedric Short Sword that has +2 fortify intelligence, but you have to reach level 12 first.

Addendum to previous post: GO OUT AND BUY RECORDS BY THE FALL THEY ARE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

it's the checklist

Hipster trends: yes (i partake in)/ no (that isn't me)
Tight t-shirts: for the best of everyone no
Jeans: yes
black rimmed glasses: green rimmed actually
dyed hair: no
combs/styles hair: depends
heroin addict thin: not for the last 12 years
wears stupid hats: Washington National caps are not stupid
wears stupid shoes: no
dresses up for shows: no
reads pitchfork/nme: laugh at pitchfork/and not on your life
drinks pbr: i don't want a headache, try nati boh
prescribes to "hardcore" or "straight edge": no
likes the movie garden state: no
likes independent film and music: yes
spiritual but not religious: no
likes cliche to read books: i can barely read

That's a good one.Try to think of music as a purely responsable body of flesh and emotions.A body?A trusted friend?It works!

Even though i'm not always sure about this sort of statement,i think you are shining at the moment.

nme is not very hip, not in the way pitchfork is. nme is appealing to a very different crowd.

it don't come easy! you'll find yourself fighting hordes of these dudes before you get anywhere

Do we fucking know that?Have you been reading the nme?

Fight this generation......
