Don't you just despise the I-Pod Generation?

it i the right of the older generation to bemoan the state of the younger one. I too have been guilty of laughing at what the younglings are wearing, listening to, acting like on public transport. but as supafly points out rather than get my knickers in a twist I think about how I was. My mother rather delighted in dragging out the photos of my 'teen' years and showing them to my boyfriend. I thuoght I was so cool in 1989. I walked around my small town wearing 'metal' band t shirts and leggings, I wore a painted leather jacket and braided my hair. iccchhhhh. anyway, what i think older people feel is envy of the confidence of youth. These days if I put my hair in buches I feel utterly self conscious.

and as to the panic that 'this generation' will be running the country one day I dont see how they can make a worse job than the current old farts in power.
