Let me remind everyone that the Punk Movement started roaring in the late 70's. Any punk rocker who remembers when it started is a minimum age of 30 and closer to 40 (I'm 35.. A regular X-Gen Patriarch). Back in my 'day' we used safety pins to do body piercings, unlike the youth of today, who use wireless phones to schedule appointments to have work done by a "Body Artist". > > > Agh!

The alienations! The "what's > the use" pathos! Don't forget self-promotion... (Hey everybody, look how free we are!) > > Just look at the @$#%$# rock lyrics! ______________________________________ The Who - My Generation People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation) This is my generation This is my generation, baby Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation) And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation) I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation) I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation) This is my generation This is my generation, baby ____________________________________ Now for the Gen X response, from none other than Generation X (Billy Idol's original Band) _________________________________________________ Generation X - Your Generation Trying to forget your generation. You know all the ways when it's up to you. The ends must justify the means. Your generation don't mean a thing to me. I say your generation don't mean a thing to me. I say your generation don't mean a thing to me! It might take a bit of violence, But violence ain't our only stance. It might make our friends enemies, But we gotta take that chance. Ain't no time for substitutes. Ain't no time for idle threats. Actions rather hard to place, Cause what you give is what you get. So, your generation! It's your generation! Well it's your generation! It's your generation! To the end! Justify the means. __________________________________________________ Now that's ANGST! > > When it comes to alienation, drama-posing, and generational self-pity, > you whippersnappers have got NOTHING on us! > huh. > > bloody amateurs..... think they invented alienation. Sheesh..... While Genx may have not invented alienation, we certainly took it to the extreme, embracing it, pursuing it as an art form. My favorite line from the movie SLC Punks, where the hippie father turned lawyer tried to explain to his punk son... "Hey, I didn't sell out, I bought in!" (finger pointing).
