The Last Cool Generation

Yesterday, I ended up wasting my time arguing with a fool. The only reason it makes its way onto The Pinus, is because the little chit of a girl (whose extensive vocabulary had me shaking in my boots - NOT), made me realise something quite astounding...this new generation sucks!

Whatever happened to the days where you could insult someone, and expect at least a halfway worthy insult back? I bet you she probably didn't even understand half of the words I chucked at her, and I was going easy (and that's even being optimistic). We had Generation X, then came along us Generation Y's and now, I'm pretty sure, that this recent one is Generation Z - whose title in itself prophesies doom on so many different levels.

If you were born in the early 90's, you should be proud of yourself! We were the generation who understood words of more than three syllables; the generation who could pull off bootlegs; the ones who followed Pokemon, and DragonballZ, Ed Edd & Eddy and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!; the ones who didn't need auto-correct; the ones who discovered Oreo's; the ones who simply couldn't resist finishing, "in west Philadelphia born and raised" - who knew Will Smith before he made his name; we were the generation who the Play Station made its début to; the generation of Harry Potter, Eminem and the original Disney Films!; the last generation to know who likes ORANGE SODA - we were the Nickelodean kids; the last ones to see a floppy disk; we were, the last generation, to play outside - for fun...

Dear World, on behalf of Generation Y, I'd like to offer my condolences. You're in for some tough times. We're sorry we can't duplicate our awesomeness. Sincerely, The Last Cool Generation.
