I imagine that the two things sort of go hand in hand. But I sort of agree with both anyway.

I'd probably have classed this generation as the "asshole" generation though. It brought rise to yob culture, which, in turn, brought about a "Hey buddy, I'm going to [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] on your driveway, what are you gonna do about it?" and to a lesser extent, "Why should I do [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] for you?" kind of attitudes to the world.

I'd say it's partly (I say partly because I don't want to sound cliché) due to music, and the offensive nature there of. I'd also say it's partly down to human nature. People need "something" to single out, or a particular behaviour to define themselves.

I can remember back when I was in secondary school, I remember how things were back then. How you were meant to act to teachers, older years, etc. You just didn't smurf with them. Then when I got into the senior years, the little punks were as cheeky as hell. If I were a teacher and some kid to me to "smurf myself" I'd screw my job and punch him in the face.

In my honest opinion we need a good long World War Three to sort [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] out.
