What bothers me is how our generation is looked down upon. How the one above us detest, no.. worse, pity the abominations we truly become. Are we really just another line of outcasts and copycats. Somehow i'd like to deny that, but honestly all evidence points that we are in fact, all of the listed above.
We are the generation who grew up looking up at rebels as role models. From the likes of Che Guevara to the likes of Bob Dylan. We see people standing up to their beliefs on a renegade scale as a socially accepted level. Developing this mentality at such a young age is like arming a young group of people with guns. We may not know how to use them yet and purpose to use them yet. But someday we will cause havoc.
This renegade mentality isn't to be taken on a negative view though, every time i see my peers.
I see great artists, amazing leaders, intuitive business minds. It's just we've been jacked up with too much info but we lack ways of channeling knowledge. What i like to believe, is basically were a generation lacking guidance. Youth today find ways to express themselves mostly by copying the way past rebels did. Standing up for what they believe in and not compromising. This is all fine and dandy but two things are keeping this from being positive.
- We have no great cause
- We did not fight great wars or great depressions. Therefore we lack the spirit of working hard.
We are fighting a world were there is nothing to fight left. There is no more great enemy. Only great enemies of the mind.
The fight for equality rages on but that's the last thing on our open minded generations mind.
We are clueless. We are the ones who talk but do not do, the ones who fight without actions. Not because we are lazy. But because we do not know how.
We are the ones speaking loudly, we are the ones with knowledge but no purpose. Growing up in a world with sufficient needs for everything. Blinded by big businesses into purchasing goods we don't need as a way to channel our individuality. Instead of crafting and making, we are thought to purchase as a way of creativity.
So maybe our great cause is individuality, sounds very egocentric. But what do we expect growing up into the world with idols so many you cannot count them within a single sitting.
In the nature how the youth are, we rebel. Its no wonder we are irresponsible and hedonistic. We have all this fighting energy with no enemy.
With all the negative feedback from the above generation, we accept that as our enemy.
Growing up is my biggest enemy.
Its our nature, its the way we were nurtured.
But in the spirit of being young i say, fuck it.
Why grow up? It doesn't mean we'll stay irresponsible.
We just don't do the things our parents do.
