Gen Yers are making incredibly interesting original music and there is no faster way to sound like an old geezer than dissing the music of the younger generation. As for TV and movies though, Gen Yers have failed miserably. I hate the exhausting pop reference humor like Family Guy. It just isn't smart or funny.

Not all Generation Y'ers are self absorbed people who lack a culture. Generation Y can also be looked at in a positive light. We are politically aware, just look at the political awareness of the last election in young people. Or the fact that people of my generation are more accepting of people of different races, religions, and living styles. Generation Y is also known to be more closely knit to their family. Also I think its important to realize all of the bad things Generation X is known for one being materialistic yuppies. Give us a break, we are just entering the workplace. I think this is nothing other then a generational gap. This article is also centered more toward tweens. I don't know anyone who actually listens to Fall Out Boy. If you do an article you should actually make sure your references on our "culture" are up to date. Plus is Guns and Roses really something you should be proud of? Big hair, leggings, and hair spray?

Anger is a natural and healthy emotion. I'd be mad too if I was part of a worthless cohort of tweeting, girl pant-wearing, self important dickbags, too. Your gneration will bring the downfall of mankind. Once again, way to articulate. Anger is a natural and healthy emotion.

Unless you were listening to that music when you were 2 you are a moron.
