Do You Think Today's Teens Are Bland?

<p>LOL, I just wrote an essay on it, so you can imagine that I’ve been thinking about this subject:)</p>

<p>ahh no fair, you got a head start!</p>

<p>Materialistic is right, bro.
And not enough introspective thinking!!!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I find “dumb little flocks of sheep” is the most fitting…</p>

<p>they all follow this one leader without reason</p>

<p>^ It appears we here may be a bunch of exceptions.
About which “teenagers” are we talking?</p>

<p>we’re talking about the geeks and nerds</p>

When you’re dealing with a generation of people who don’t pick up their damn phone…

<p>Uh, what generation are you talking about here? You’re DEFINITELY not talking about the hundreds of teenagers I see every day carrying their phones with them everywhere like babies.</p>

<p>:D:D:D</p>

<p>I don’t think “bland teenagers” (or bland people, for that matter) is a modern phenomenon. People have always gravitated towards what is comfortable, safe, and familiar, ever since the first cro-magnon man realized that if he was in his familiar home territory, his chances of being eaten by sabre-toothed tigers were much lower. Back in the 50s, a teenager who listened to Elvis might have been considered a bland conformist.</p>

<p>Additionally, dismissing all current music, TV, and celebrities as vapid is a very rash, sweeping generalization. Plenty of modern media is intelligent and unique. So are plenty of modern teens.</p>

<p>"About which “teenagers” are we talking? "</p>

<p>We’re talking about the teenagers who have never heard of CC, of course.
