My Generation

"But that hasn't stopped generation Y bashing becoming a national sport. While sexism, racism and homophobia are frowned upon, it seems it is OK to denigrate 4.5 million Australians because they're young."

- Michael Lallo, The Age: 'Talkin' 'Bout my generalisation (or why we bag Gen Y)'

I keep forgetting about this blog.
I think it's because I have signed up for so many social networking sites, I am having a very hard time trying to keep up with them all.

You see, there is this new show that has just started called Talkin' 'Bout My Generation. It's basicly a demographic showdown. It's a contest between Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y.
During the show, they tend to rip Generation Y'ers apart.
I was born in 1990. An absolutley, no mistake, part of Generation Y. I love Twitter and my mobile phone. I just about go insane when the internet is down and I am highly impatient. But really - what's so bad about that? It's not hurting anyone.
I also give everyone the time of day wether they're male, female, black, white, tall, short, fat skinny, blonde, brunette, gay or lesbian. And a large majority of Generation Y feel the same way. It's believed that Generation Y have the lowest rate of racism and homophobia.

There is nothing at all that pisses me off more than a Generation X who thinks it's okay to pick on and overpower someone from Generation Y simply because they are older.
A Generation Y says, "God, I hate work" and the majorty of Generation X's will respond with something like, "You don't even KNOW what hard work is yet. I'VE been working full time since before you were even THOUGHT OF." Uh, so what. In 30 years time I'll have worked for that long too.

I guess I just kind of see it the same way as when kids grow up and finally start to realise that their parents aren't always right.
