Its weird, the occupy came up so Im looking at some of the occupys messages. I found this..... What They did not want you to ever find out is that your generation, the generation born between 1980-1995, actually outnumbers the Baby Boomers. They knew that if you ever turned your eye towards political reform, you could change the world. They tried to keep you sated on vapid television shows and vapid music. They cut off your education and fed you brain candy. They took away your music and gave you Top Ten pop stations. They cut off your art and replaced it with endless reality shows for you to plug into, hoping you would sit quietly by as They ran the world. I think They thought you were too dumb to notice. Indeed, I thought They had won. But I watched you occupy the capital of Wisconsin. I see you today as you occupy Wall Street. And I see a spark, a glimmer of the glorious new age that is yours. A changing of the guard, a guard that has stood for entirely too long and needs your young legs to take his place. I watch you turn away from what is easy and stand up for what is right. I see you understand we as a society are only as strong as our weakest link. I see you wise beyond your years. And I am proud. Give em hell, kids. You are beautiful. -Kate Danley Ill point this out, its not true. How it IS true may explain what happened. One, during those years, top 40 was normal and it wasnt until much later that it became the problem it is today. If you went commercial, thats your own doing. TV.. I didnt really watch tv that much so I dont know what was on but I dont recall any real reality TV shows outside of MTVs the real world, if you watched that, you only have your own self to blame. You had options. As with art, 1980-1995 had some good art, I listened to some really damn good music, read some really good books, watched some really good movies and .. whatever. The writer even says it.. Indeed, I thought They had won. Yes, it was easy to observe growing up that They had already won because I did, in fact, grow up with these people. Your first instinct is often right.
