Nothing of any real worth has been produced by those born post 1970. Sure there is Google and Facebook, but they pale in comparison to the achievements of generations past.
I actually enjoyed the music the best during the time frame you mentioned and so do many others I know so I assume the artists and everyone related/affiliated to them must have done very well too!
I think people born in the 1970s are sort of the forgotten generation between Generation X and Millennials.
There is a huge sense of superficial materialism amongst millennials. It is almost comical how pretentious they are.
The emphasis on materialism is unlike anything I have ever seen. There is more advertising then ever and it seems like most is geared towards big-spending and debt-loving millennials.
Being popular and liked is more important then ever in today's culture, so many millennials go out there way to make themselves seem unique and special.
I think back when there was more of a blue-collar economy where things weren't so much a dog and pony show that people were far, far less pretentious because there wasn't really as much of a premium to be earned career and personally for popularity.
Personal news feeds where they are the star of their newscast. It is amazing how much of people's time is spent on self-promotion and friendships that are solely for advancing careers.
There are many millennials who actually act like celebrities in real life just because they have alot of like's and follow's based on social media.
Overall, I just find people who are not millennials much nicer to be around.
I understand this thread was started in 2011 and I could have lived my whole life with out ever reading it.
Anyone who actually believes this about people born between these years or any other years are just plain ignorant.
There are winners and losers in every generation or race and if people can not figure that out they are really sheltered or screwed up.
I raised 4 kids born between these years and everyone of them have a better work ethic and drive than a lot of people I know from several other generations.
They all make me proud of them and their kids always.
All my kids have taken they're own path in life and done very well from a nurse to a landscaper they all take care of them selves with out being a burden on the tax payers of this country.
There are a lot of other generations that can not say that.
Since our Big Government has vilified the white male, set up windfalls for Big Business and Big Finance scammers, taxed all incentive out of what few jobs are left, and in short made anyone who works for a living feel like a sucker, we've made it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone born after 1960 to make a difference (or even earn a decent retirement).
The liberal Progressives have created a "no-win" society for everyone who isn't born filthy rich.
haha I agree. The neighbor kid gets out of his car and for some reason think it's ok to walk over to my trash can, lift up the lid and throw his cup of soda away......He looked right at me too.....I just so happened to be out cleaning my garage. It's not a big deal but it's this "me" or the world revolves around "me" attitude I can't stand about young kids nowadays. And his mother doesn't say anything to him or was oblivious as usual. If my kid did that I would have said hey don't throw your crap away in someone else's trashcan without asking.
I was at the park the other day walking my dog and there were three adolescent kids running around. No problem right? Wrong....these little fockers were running around laughing as they were screaming at the top of their lungs........this is right across from an old folk's home and a usually quiet neighborhood. I'm all for kids being kids and acting crazy but for god's sake ............these kids were screaming like they were in a haunted house and for no reason.......but guess what the worst part is???? Their idiot mother was right next to them laughing..............
I think people in general nowadays just have this attitude like they could give a crap about how their actions and behavior affects others. We can blame kids all we want but at the end of the day they usually have too stupid parents raising them. I live in a very uppity middle class neighborhood in OC and nowhere is it more apparent. So many spoiled kids and clueless parents.
Don't get me started on the idiot mexicans who bring their babies and little toddlers into the hopsital units and let them run around loud and crazy. I say mexicans because I never see any other people bringing their kids. It's just not a place for kids to be for health reasons number one, least of all babies.
Like I said stupid parents everywhere.
Sarcasm I hope. If not, what's wrong with kids playing outside? Or throwing away trash in a trash can?
