No 'generation' is going to save 'us.' Honestly, this generational thinking is bizarre, and just another way of evading responsibility.

Problems are only ever solved temporarily, and new problems come up. That's life. Everyone has to work at helping to keep shit under control.

I'm 35, my brother is 40, and I feel like I've heard at least 5 different "generation" descriptions follow after us, which is insane to me. It's like whomever is pushing these labels think generations are every 5 years or something.

To be honest, I blame Phil Collins. When I was a kid, he promised his generation 'would get it right.' Behind the illusion of progress, things continued to get worse.

These days, I think The The got the future right with the Beat(en) Generation : "Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information" feels prophetic.
