Considering some of the discusions going on at the forums lately I thought this seemed kinda appropriate. It's funny, but I also think a lot of it is true. Also has one of the greatest descriptions of my generation that I've heard in a while...

"See, I'm a part of Generation X, the post-Baby Boom era kids who grew up on a mental diet of Beavis and Butthead and Alice in Chains. We wrote poems about how angry we were at our fathers, wore goatees like weapons and made panties burst into flames by playing Pearl Jam's Black on our acoustic guitars."

Good article, mixes the immaturity of youth with some of the common social programs like tuition fees. Has some crack lines, "add seven years to your teenyears" and "the Occupy Wall Street Generation".

I see a counter generation coming through though, although this won't make a lot of sense if you haven't met them. The youth of America have button downed their collars and are sober about life's expectations, about the hand they have been dealt. They know they will probably get married and have kids, they know there's "education warfare" going on out there to land that better job, they know a caring personality is what matters inside a family and that it takes work. They know that in fact there are dead end jobs that you can get stuck in. So they have looked ahead and taken a sober look at their chances. They remain optimistic, that growth, hard work and education will give them a good life. They don't talk about it a whole either rather they will just make some brief wittism. They are not tea partyers who want to cut Mom and Pop off of Medicare and they are not the described occupy-wall-street-generation complainers. They've been beat up a bit by life and the adults around them and are maturing early. It'll be of interest in being forwarded means been for-armed.
