Man, some folks out there got old quick and forgot what it was like to be young. I think that's why I like being in the radio/music business so much, it keeps you young at heart. I actually don't really get along with many people my age, I prefer to hang with people who still love new music and new experiences.

I've seen more than my fair share of memes calling the current generation (for the purposes of this discussion, people in their late teens and 20's) as too whiny, too sensitive and actually as "p@ssies".  Well, first up has it ever occurred to you that may their not whiny, but that you and your friends are actually assh@les?

The younger folks as rule don't believe in possessions, they don't buy into blind patriotism or borders, they don't see the point of war and they aren't buying guns at a rate anywhere near that of the older generations. They don't believe in aggressive solutions to problems. They are, in fact, more diplomatic and more understanding. They don't see any real reason for racial divide and their lack of desire to accumulate leads to more sharing.  They are dropping religion and other judgmental institutions.  They believe in rights for all Americans including those of different sexual orientations.

None of this sounds "whiny" to me. As a matter of fact, anyone willing to stand up and say, "screw you, we're going to do things our way" is pretty darn brave.
