I hate my generation.

[keithy_19]

I hate my generation. I hate the youth of this country. I suppose it's more of a hatred of the counter culture in my area. How, guys with tight pants, black painted figner nails, hair covering one eye absolutely leaves me so furious. I hate it, and I'm sad to be a part of it jsut because of my age.

[HeyGuy]

<p>Are you talking about the goth look? If so, I live in the exact same area as you and I dont see those types that often. I see more thugish or guidos.</p><p>Why does it bother you so much? What is your style or what type of style do you consider yourself?</p>

[PapaBear]

<p>My generation hates your generation, too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>just kidding.<img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/drunk.gif" border="0" width="58" height="30" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>maybe.<img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/furious.gif" border="0" width="18" height="18" /></p>

[Death Metal Moe]

Yea, EMO kids do suck.&nbsp; Your generation should &quot;Eat their own&quot; so to speak.

[Don Stugots]

[Bill From Yorktown]

might garner a little more response if you define &quot;your generation&quot;.&nbsp; I consider my generation anyone born in the 60's.

[keithy_19]

<p>I was debating making the title to this thread, &quot;I hate the youth in this country&quot;, but thats eemed to vaugue, though so does &quot;generation&quot;. I suppose I mean people betweent he ages of 14-19. For the most part, I feel the indifference shown by this age is appauling. </p><p>I singled out the &quot;emo &quot; kids because in my area, it's either you wear girls jeans, tight shirts, and have long hair, or you listen to rap and &quot;front&quot; your style. </p>

[johnniewalker]

I'm really confused, when I went to go buy jeans the other day, i was confronted with a choice to buy low rise jeans.&nbsp; For guys?&nbsp; I don't get it.&nbsp; Is your generation showing off their midriff and top of their pube region?

[keithy_19]

Ya see, the male in my generation has a facination of being femminie. The female in my generation eats this shit up. My generation is making the world gay, in the litteral sense.

[DarkHippie]

I hate the culture more than the counter culture and I respect anyone who is willing to break away from the accepted instead of following their classmates like a bunch of fucking lemmings.&nbsp; Yes, emo is fucking gay and annoying-- I don't claim to understand it-- but at least its different.&nbsp; It's kids trying to rebel but in a manner thats accepted by (most of) their peers.&nbsp; Good for them, and all the punks, and all the thugs out there.&nbsp; Next step is breaking away from the clique and just being yourself.

Ha ha another anti emo thread. Well all i have to say is im glad everyone knows the difference between emo and punk finally and that if I had to decide i think the 80's was a worst generation that should be forgotten about. I hate all Emo bands, infact&nbsp;Im against any genre that isn't punk or ska.

[Don Stugots]

dont hate people that are different.&nbsp; just let them live.&nbsp; plus, you should keep an open mind.&nbsp; i hated rap music till one day i was turned on to a little record called Raising Hell and another called Lisence to Ill.&nbsp; totally changed my tastes in music forever.&nbsp;

&nbsp;While more and more everything is marketed to and dictated by what appeals to youth, it's no great secret that everyone hates teenagers - everyone older and everyone younger and even teenagers themselves. And it's been that way for awhile now. No generation has cornered the market on self-loathing or feeling of alienation. Many who pride themself in thinking for themself and not judging often end up being the most judgemental.

Yes the Emo style is HORRIBLE. I'm someone that doesn't generally "hate" another's style but that shit is just retarded. some Emo music is cool, but the look is really pussifying the already pretty pussified generation. Plus I think Punk girls are hotter than Emo girls, and that's all that really matters, isn't it?

I feel bad for kids nowadays just because everything has been done already.
I'd hate to try and be "original" in this day and age. I'm glad I grew up in a
time when things were still new, when I could be a punk rocker when that
music was new. Everything is so recycled now. What's it going to be like in
another 20 years?

Twenty years from now, some small group of kids will listen to some old stuff... put their own spin on it... and come up with&nbsp;something new. Sometimes the result will be the equivalent of Duran Duran. Sometimes the equivalent will be Elvis Costello.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[CofyCrakCocaine]

<p>I felt the same way about my generation when I was your age (christ, that was nearly a decade ago). I think I slimmed down my misanthropic glare to just my hometown nowadays. Even that's thinning now. Apathy used to enrage me, now it just saddens me. I view it as just a form by which people try to protect themselves from the world, which I know can be a pretty rough reality. Other times, it's blatant selfishness that has no remorse and couldn't be bothered with anyone else. That kind of outlook pisses me off to this day. </p><p>I love DMM's comment about wallowing in one's own manufactured misery being gay. Absolutely true, and certainly a disgusting aspect of any generation. You'll find a few of these fellows in classical history and legend, so it's not just your (mine?) generation that features these types of kids. As Mike the Teacher puts it, it gets better, it gets worse.</p><p>Maybe I'm a putz. But I think I had something good to add.&nbsp;</p>
