I think generation y brings a do the damn thing attitude to the table meanwhile generation x is to worried to make any decisions. Just the fact that you guys are worried about what movies are being made and what music is popular is the problem. When shit needs to be done Generation x is way out in left field. That is your culture all summed up!

Also, many bands do tributes to their favorite composers, do not automatically sterotype our music as Pop Punk and unoriginal. Avenged Sevenfold is one that has covered many genres and made some lyrically good music. May I also add that not all of us Y'ers enjoy watching the mind numbing crap that airs on MTV, VH1 etc etc. You are also judging us very early, we are all still fairly young and are really just starting our adult lives, when the Gens really start flourishing and making their name (why do you think that we don't really have a name for ourselves yet besides Y?) You say we don't have a culture and so on but then you say that you weren't really born in a generation... whats that say about you?

Kinda like how boomers actually came up with punk rock, hip hop, invented CDs, wrote/directed movies like The Breakfast club - yet these things are credited toward gen x. Big deal. Get over it.

Could you be anymore childish? Much of generation y hasn't even come of age yet. I know you guys are still bitter about being labeled as drug-addled, apathetic slackers, but do you really need to comparing yourself to a bunch of kids in an attempt to boost your own ego? Kinda pathetic really... Hip hop and indie rock was invented by late boomers, and listing the best of your generation next to the worst of today’s generation doesn’t prove anything.

Guess what? Those were all created by Gen X'ers. We were running circles around our Baby Boomer co-workers in the 90's when MS Office first came into play. So, yeah, we are also very tech savvy. God, some of you Gen Y'ers act as if Generation X'ers are dinosaurs.

It didn't CREATE those TV shows or music. Gen Y will go down as one of the greatest generation in U.S. history, if you subscribe to the thesis of authors Howe & Strauss in the groundbreaking book "Generations". This is because the constellation of generations will soon be ripe for a major crisis (major war usually), instigated by the moralistic Boomers, but fought by Gen Y. Afterwards, they'll have the same mystique as the WWII generation. Unfortunately, it'll be the unsung, unrecognized Gen Xers (then in their late 40's to mid 50's) who will take leadership roles to mitigate the apocalyptic confrontation tendencies of the self-righteous boomers and protect the Gen Y frontliners as much as possible.

I love how he says he doesn't take sides but since he's obviously in the X generation he seems to never look at the good things that generation Y has done. Of course he has positive things to say about his generation. I wouldn't even consider this a legitimate article because he does not have any valid points. What an idiot.
