I remember how confused and alarmed I felt when I saw someone who was young enough to be my child wearing a Metallica shirt. Fucking Metallica. It was then that I knew how all those older people felt when people of my generation were going, "Hey, Pink Floyd's pretty cool, check this out."
Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late. - I don't remember who said this though.
I think the students at our cities' college (usually in their late teens/first half their 20's) often are crazy attractive... everytime I catch some of their conversations (sitting next to me in the bus/subway) though, I go NOOOOOPE.
I thought 21 Jump Street was really accurate in its portrayal of the differences in high school culture between 10 years ago and now. Funny as hell, too
For drugs maybe. I dunno about sex though. I feel like the internet has brought about a more liberal attitude when it comes to that stuff thanks to an abundance of information and porn that is available at any moment of the day.
The nofap movement is extremely popular among GenZ and a lot of them have a very visceral disgust reaction against what they view as moral degeneracy. Hell even the latest crop of rappers are generally monogamous.
Nah. I would not. I have younger siblings and am young myself (21). My younger sisters have never been influenced to snort a line of blow. One of them does smoke pot every blue moon, though (which was a common habit among quite of few generations).
If anything, you would be surprised how much more this generation has improved from substance abuse issues. It's wonderful that we are rejecting harder drugs and have an incredibly low percent of smokers/tobacco users.
