I am 2 generations before you and I have NEVBER seen a more disrespectful generation than yours...rude, foul mouthed, know it all's...don't you dare blame us for your issues...we were brought up to respect people.. especially the ones who came before us...we didn't spend every waking moment looking at a screen...we weren't all suicidal at your age because life was difficult sometimes...we learned to be tough and cope. This might not describe you personally but that is basically my ongoing experience with 18-21 year olds here

@Fernie Your opinions, like any others, are valuable whether I agree with it or not. You are certainly proud of your generation. Anyhow, I think that all generations have their own faults as well as their own strenght. Hopefully, one day you will meet the better part of this generation that appreciates you, and that you will get to learn something new from them as well.

@PhantasmaMechanica Nice way to wrap it up, well said :)

@PhantasmaMechanica you just don't get it..you don't get it because you are in it...it's all you know.I'm done here
Most people that complain are bitter that they’re getting old and haven’t accomplished what they wanted. As a result they feel the need to bash younger generations to compensate for regret and self hate
@Insomniac100 Bravo! Thats very Deep!

@Insomniac100 spoken like a true 18-21 year old...complete disrespect for the people who came before you. So...again...know it all's who take no responsibility for their behavior...it's just us old people being all bitter so we bash you....you are exactly what I was describing to the person who posted this...thank you for that perfect example of that kind of immature 18-21 year old I block several times a day here
@Fernie disrespect? Lol never once did I personally attack anyone older than me. All I did was make an observation and you get all butt hurt. Sorry to say but you are exactly the type of person I described in my comment. Someone who bitter and angry that life has passed them by and refuses to adapt to the times. Of course i respect older people. My coaches, employers, family friends, all of whom I’ve learned valuable lessons in life and who have different perspectives on everyday things. But for people like you who love being cynical and displaying confirmation bias every chance you get at anyone younger than yourselfs, I have no time for.
There’s lots of reasons that people hate this generation. It’s the entitlement generation. But that’s how every generation is.

This is what I don't get. You say "why must people" as we all are out to be harsh, not so. So lighten up.

@PhantasmaMechanica Sure, I understand. Some of us oldies are real not bad at all.😘
PhantasmaMechanica · 26-30
I like older generation alright. In fact, I don't see people as generations, it's just that the phrase "your generation is ____" annoyed me a little, so I need to express the thought I had on this matter.
BemyValentine · F
@PhantasmaMechanica Oh I understand your point. My generation is big! covering several decades Baby Boomers. Some are stuffy in there ways, some of us are pretty cool.

I agree... Anything wrong with this generation has to be due to their bad parenting...
PhantasmaMechanica · 26-30
@drymer Well, I would not say I blame everything on the parenting. I just think that generations of people are not what they are just because they are like that.
drymer · 56-60, M
@PhantasmaMechanica No, no... think about it... Kids become what they learn from their surroundings, from the example of their parents... It's the parents who teach their kids about what's right or wrong, about what's acceptable and what's not... And if the parents are too busy to do parenting, then it's their parents fault too, for failing to teach their kids...
PhantasmaMechanica · 26-30
I see. I do agree in most part.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
Because overly-whiny, overly-sensitive, and always blaming others.
How would you know your 18-21????
PhantasmaMechanica · 26-30
@RadiantRuby I don't, so I wonder. However, I think that all generations are responsible for each other-- one causes the next to be in a certain way. Just a speculation.
@PhantasmaMechanica I blame the hippies and their generation they are at fault for the down fall of society
PhantasmaMechanica · 26-30
@RadiantRuby I don't think that the fall of society is one grouo's responsibility. That's just pointing a finger while blinded to one's own fault.

Indeed you are of their creation.

You're a bunch of whiners

Honestly, though, every generation gets knocked by the previous ones. That's just how it goes. To our elders we were loud, wore ridiculous clothing, listened to inappropriate music, danced vulgarly, and had no manners.

@bijouxbroussard Do you think people belittle novelty because they fear change?

@PhantasmaMechanica Basically. "That's not how we do things"--until eventually it is.
