Talkin' bout my generation.

     Every time I hear those word, I think of Bob Saget singing that on Full House many years ago. (random but so true)
     I hate my generation. I hate the people (for the most part), the movies, and especially the music.  I am a part of the supposed "Generation Y" before Z, but after X. The biggest problem I have with people are their mindsets. I loathe the fact that everyone in my generation (myself included once in a blue moon) feels as if they are entitled to something. I hate hearing things like "I'm 16, I need a car." Maybe its jealousy because my family doesn't have $15,000 to kill on an ungrateful spoiled brat. When a relative dies, nowadays, no one says "I miss grandpa.", instead we're more likely to hear "Who'd he leave the money to?" That pisses me off. One, because I don't have a rich grandpa and two, because when people my age think of death, they think of it like some god damned paycheck. Being so-and-so's relative doesn't make you entitled to a paycheck. Another problem I have with my generation is their sense of invincibility. People my age think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and nothing is ever going to happen to them. In school, I always hear stupid kids bragging "Dude, I drank like four beers and I drove perfectly!" Sometimes, I want to say "Is that what you're gonna say to the family of the person you killed?" The guy was going on like he should get an AWARD for driving drunk (there goes that entitlement again) and about how much he loved the saying YOLO, another atrocity to my generation.
     In all honesty, I don't like most of the movies that "my generation" has put out. I feel as if there are no original movies anymore. Screenwriters no longer "think" of story lines. This year, a vast majority of movies that have come out have either been prequels, sequels, or remakes of previous films. Even though I'm not a fan of the former, Harry Potter and The Hunger Games were the only original films I can think of.
     I love music, don't get me wrong, but I really don't like my generation's music. Like in the movie industry, everyone lacks creativity. For instance, a couple of years ago, no one had a clue who the hell David Guetta was. Then one loser started listening to him music and now basically all of the music on Y100 (a radio station in my area) sounds like a David Guetta song. All of the singers sound the same too. The biggest atrocity to hit the music industry is Nicki Minaj. I hate her with a passion. As a fellow African American female, I can't help but feel ashamed of her. She puts all of us to shame. Correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm not). Her lyrics are stupid, those accents are annoying and distracts a person of average IQ from changing the station, and most importantly, she exemplifies every negative black girl stereotype (ghetto clothes, changing weaves constantly, and having a bitchy attitude).
     Don't get me wrong there are good people in my generation (like me and my friends) but unfortunately, we are over shadowed by everyone else.
    And that my friends, are the reasons why my generation is on a bullet train to hell.
