From what I've understood, our parents' generation was better. More trustworthy, less b*tchy people who actually had good taste in music.

It's like a game of telephone your parents generation taught you things but you scramble it up a little then you tell this generation and they tell the next generation and so on. Plus every generation has its ups and down this generation has new technology that saves lives that your generation made but the celebrities your age put bad things on the new technology. Your parents generation was more violent. Making weapons that could take out countries whole, racist, and non accepting. Oh, and just so you know some of this generation will grow up and do some thing amazing. I'm part of this generation. I'm gonna try my best in school to get in to a good college.

I wanna be a professional orchestral musician or play the music for Broadway musicals, or a programmer for computers. And just remember every generation has its ups and downs.

These are considered the last days. It was predicted many years ago that with these last days 'critical times hard to deal with will be here'. A list of bad dispositions and attitudes were counted like disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, not open to any agreement, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to it's power. So for this reason the generation that exists today is as horrible as it is.

It's not horrible, they've lost a lot in the era of I-Phone, this generation has many challenges ahead of it. The music of today is taken over by the rap type music, not anything like the music of the past. But I'm 57 and I REFUSE TO GIVE UP ON THIS GENERATION, NOT GOING TO DO IT.

I can simplify it. This generation as kids never went outside to play. They have zero social skills, they have allergies, they are scared of bugs. They have nothing to say snd nothing to do if it does not include a computer or an IPhone. They don't eat real food, they eat processed crap that looks like food. They have no manners and are media-driven little whores and girly boys. They have anxiety. They have office bodies by age 15. They have no expression on their faces. They think emptying the dishwasher is a chore, and expect $20 in allowance for it. They are spoiled, feel entitled and have more issues than a box of tissues..half are on meds and the other half need to be. But that's just me..lol.

I wish I knew where it went wrong, but I can assure you that there are still some genuinely good people left in this world. Don't let the bad ones destroy your faith and hope for this world. Continue to be a good person and say the hell with the selfish inconsiderate ones that only add negativity to your life. Btw, I am from this generation, we're not all bad apples. I hope you keep your head up.

*Sigh*, sadly, this is true. I actually find that today's generation are based around on thing - football. Here in Australia, if you don't play football, you're looked down on. In Europe, if you don't play football (soccer), you're looked down on. Even in America, if you don't play rugby or whatever the hell you people call it because I am not smart and don't know **** about America apart from Lana Del Rey being such a babe, you're looked down on. There's this guy who go's to my high-school named Tait and let me tell you, he is the biggest on of a b!#*h - a great example of today's generation. I fear for the many generations to come that this assholism could just get worse.

Every generation calls the generation below them, fact. If I recall in the 70s there was lots of homophobia and racism, now there isn't. 40 years ago if someone was gay their friends would disown them, but today people are accepting. There's good and bad in each era, just when the era has passed people focus on the good.

This generation is an I. me, mine, myself generation. Very selfish, feel they should get whatever they like because they are entitled to it. However, most of this is the fault of the parents. Now, in this era, the kids run the household instead of the parents. What smack is that? i.e. Often I hear, "we were going to vacation in (blank) but Jimmy and Susan didn't like going there so we let them choose". WHAT? You don't like the place, you stay with relatives and don't get a vacation. It's like they brain wash the parents. These same kids become adults and cannot cope with the real world.

you haven't been around long enough to really see horrible. the world and people have changed a little bit since you were born. but the one thing that don't seem to changer is prejudice against people of color, and that has been going on for hundreds of years and don't seem to let up at all. I hurt about that.

People have gotten too soft over the years and everyone these days can get offended over anything. But back in the day people were hard skinned and didn't get offended over nout. Unfortunately I don't really know the answer to that myself other then what I have just said

so what is a good taste of music huh? everybody has his on tast. For instance, I like jazz and funk, and hate todays music. But someone else might hate my music and loves todays music. There is no good or bad music.



Second, the whole generation thing is a circle, because you parents will probably think the same way about their parents. And your children will probably think the same way as you. Just think about that for a moment :)

Because they have absolutely no morals or values.

They are so self-entitled to everything.

They are so ungrateful.

They are so unpatriotic (some won't even stand up let alone sing or know all of the words to their national anthem).

They don't show much respect or appreciation for their heritage and/or cultural values.

They want the best of everything right from the start.

They think brand new things are better than second hand.

They don't know how to fix anything or improvise (they just say it's stuffed and buy a new item).

They don't know how to save money (forget about their virginity, they throw that away asap).

They don't know what a descent, honest hard day of work is.

They believe that only between the hours of 9am and 5pm is the only time they can work.

They expect every ailment known to human kind can be fixed with a pill or antibiotics.

They expect the highest wages for the least amount of effort.

They don't have passion for what they do anymore.

They don't know how to budget.

They live beyond their means (credit card debt, mortgages etc).

They disrespect their bodies in so many ways with excess alcohol, drugs, smoking and even food.

They don't know where most of their food comes from, let alone understand how it is grown and processed.

They don't know how to cook properly (opening a packet of something, heating it up in an oven or microwave is not cooking; neither is pouring boiling hot water over it).

They don't know how to light a fire without paper or matches.

They are so absorbed in fashion trends, fads and stuff like that as a result of tv and advertising.

They waste so much time, effort and money on beauty products and bodily enhancements (breast implants and tattoos come to mind).

They don't have any respect for the elderly, those in authority or the laws of the land.

They think that they are above the law.

They aren't disciplined.

They try and manipulate and justify bad behaviour or outcomes when they are caught out.

They think they are right all the time, even when proved wrong.

They are never sorry; just sorry that they got caught out this time.

They are so self-righteous.

They believe what defines them as a person is their university degree, job, possessions, how much money they make and in some instances how many people they've had sex with.

They are so quick to reach a judgement about anyone and anything.

They reject so many compatible people in their lives based on looks and status.

They think they are experts on everything because they read something about it on google.

They aren't generous or charitable.

They have no faith or deep concept of spirituality.

They don't understand what commitment is and what it takes.

They are always looking for and wanting to know if there is a way of opting out of something like an 'exit clause'.

They waste so much time, effort and money on pointless pursuits like facebook, computer games, pornography and gambling.

They don't know how to spell properly let alone form sentences that are grammatically correct.

They don't know how to plan ahead for anything; shopping, travelling, having children etc.

They believe that the main requirements of caring for a child are buying everything it wants and entertaining it by sitting it in front of a television, computer or allowing it to play with a mobile phone.

They don't know how to change or repair a car tire on their own.

They don't know how to correctly jump-start or roll-start a car.

They don't understand that cars require maintenance; radiator coolant and oil levels need to be checked every couple of weeks.

They think the wearing of seat belts in vehicles should be optional.

They think that they are capable of driving and texting at the same time; NO YOU ARE NOT.

They think they have the right to drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs and other narcotics.

They think that driving and owning a car is a right; NO; it is a privilege.

They think they have the right to street race or do burnouts on public roads.

They think that they have the right to travel faster than the speed limit.

They believe that they are invincible in their fancy cars with ABS, airbags and side curtain bags - umm you can still die in a car crash with those things if you are speeding.

They use profane language too freely in inappropriate circumstances and situations.

They lack patience.

They lack common sense.

They wouldn't know how to cope without electricity, natural gas, fossil fuels, running water on tap let alone their other technological gadgets.

They think it is so important to have traveled the entire world.

They succumb to peer pressure too easily.

They justify many actions with the stupid response, 'everyone else does it'.

They seem to think that the answer to every problem is dictated or resolved with their sexual anatomy.



I could go on forever!

Any wonder I can never get into a relationship with a descent woman these days when everyone else is so screwed up; sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time and era.



Great question!

Listening to all your comments gives me hope for this generation......many times I read comments from young people that are disrespectful to not only themselves but to all of us.........

Thanks for giving me hope when I have such concern for so many that relate horribly and tasteless.

God Bless each of you, and I pray often for the one's that just don't get it.

Because ppl are taught that there is no right or wrong just opinion and that every crazy idea might be valid. No parental supervision is another problem. Drug abuse and booze make it even worse.

I agree, the music is crap now. People aren't trustworthy and are most likely to do the dirty on you. If you're nice and real you are seen as a pushover or weird.

don't forget that older generation are responsible for this generation. your son or your daughter is from this generation so you are responsible to teach them how to respect and how to be good and helping person, what I want to say that kids are not born bad and disrespectable you teach they learn. this is why this generation is awful you teach them to to drink, have drugs, and illegal sex ect. this is all from you older generation you teach us to do that and after you see your kid is nobody you ask why? . btw iam 15y

Your parent's generation must not have been so great if they raised such awful offspring. You should rethink your stance.
