« Generation Wuss »

[DrLeftover]

In his books, he used to shoot at the materialistic excesses of his generation. But today, youth has become Bret Easton Ellis' favorite target. According to him, young people are just too sensitive, too narcissistic ,too stupid. But ultimately, as he explains in this exclusive text, he kind of feel sorry for them ( and they love it !).

young people are just too sensitive, too narcissistic ,too stupid.

That's true in a way, but there isn't a shortage of those asshole jock type guys who have to out-man each other constantly and endlessly try to prove how much of a man they really are while simultaneously attempting to make every other male in the species feel inferior.

Honestly? Yes and no. I don't mind the fact that people can get in touch with their feelings. But when there's no true harm no foul being done, and with how incredibly easy it is for you to offend someone--half the time without even knowing it--our generation has turned into a generation of babies who'll cry at practically everything. Then again, our generation and this generation didn't really have to deal with things like a great depression or world wars, being taken in the draft, or the real threat of being nuked or various hardships that affected the general population. It's just a different time and we're starting to become more attune and sensitive to people's personal lives and whatnot, which, again isn't bad per se, but it does make life more complicated.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

other generations have said how bad the last was but statistics prove how lazy, misinformed, whiny, entitled and just how stupid they are in such large numbers.

I've pretty much learned to hate anybody more than three years younger than me. As a rule of thumb, they irritate me enough to warrant being on that list.

I think the new generation is so self absorbed and everything is about 'how it makes me feel'
