What is not a phenom.. is some idiot kid thinking that adults are "old" purely because they have opinions that don't match their own. I mean, it's so original for some young punk to think that the "old folk" don't really know what's going on, they just don't get it. They are just old. How original. Everyone's parents and great grand parents said the same thing. You know what they all had in common? They were all wrong when saying it. What these brilliant little "cool" kids don't get, is that they will soon grow up enough to realize that their parents weren't wrong. They'll finally get mature enough to see that their dad's really weren't that clueless, and that they really did know what they were talking about. The older I get, the smarter my dad gets.
It takes some time. It takes some growing up and maturity to finally see it. But the kids of today are absolutley no different than than my dad when he was a kid. It's the same shit, just different labels. But they will eventually have kids, and hear the same ol' tired mantra's from them that we hear. It's just something you chuckle at when you see them thinking they are suck know-it-alls. After all, the "you are old and don't know anything" is such an easy out to simply say "you don't agree with my perspective, therefore you must be old and wrong." Mature.
