transition to adulthood as marked by five milestones: completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying and having a child. In 1960, 77 percent of women and 65 percent of men had, by the time they reached 30, passed all five milestones. Among 30-year-olds in 2000, according to data from the United States Census Bureau, fewer than half of the women and one-third of the men had done so. - in the article above

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."- Socrates

The Baby Boomers really started this whole bullshit generational bullshit in all it's navel gazing glory, and later as a "marketing tool". It was like "We'll never measure up to our parents who just saved Western Civilization from tyranny, so we'll just drop acid and drop out and call it the Best Thing Ever." Of course, they burned the ground around them, stared at my generation who they needed to "label" and called us Gen X and to satisfy there own insecurities called us a "worthless generation". And I watched as my generation toyed with this label they got handed, and then after a decade shrugged and said , whatever, fuck this. Now, all these 20 somethings who are the kids of all these Baby Boomers, who they coddled on play dates and all this shit and..well..here we are...
Burn this shit to the ground. It just doesn't matter. It's all shit to sell magazines and TV shows and dish soap and deodorant.

Is the 80s revival over and we can move on to the 90s slacker culture (which I was originally bred from) so I can feel all nostalgic and ironic too?

- ..and what the fuck is wrong with Bolivia?TheBlueOne
- yea wtf. lets kick this guy out of qbn. racist.
lol to much?sofakingbanned - nothing is wrong with Bolivia, but a liberal arts degree probably wouldn't qualify to farm mud there.xcarlx
