    I feel like teens nowadays are so much more awake and honest about the bullshit the world's in right now. So many of the people I went to uni with are as dumb today as the boomers.

      The secret is it’s a minority of every generation that’s not as dumb as the boomers and we like to pretend our issues are solved with generations because it’s a soothing lie that things can get better without any change in the underlying conditions.

        Every generation has their greats. Fred Hampton was a boomer. Makes you think!

          Probably something to do with him being a black man raised in 50's america.

        i disagree. i think changes in the underlying conditions express themselves with a strong generational skew. it's nothing to make predictions with, but there's a huge difference between your average boomer and your average zoomer today.

      yeah, I mean we're definitely a weird group.I mean aren't advertisers kinda shitting their pants right? cause like we've been bombarded with 1000s of advertisements a day, being raised on the internet and all and culture at the time was steeped in heavy cynicism.
