slap me in the face

so i was reading frankie which the child brought back from australia. and besides all the other articles about everything that has been written before because music and fashion does reinvent itself...there was this article by josh phillips entitled "great expectations"
and because it was so damn relevant and so damn "yes la, i feel that way"
i'm even gonna type it out for you fools to go "yes la" with me :D

"You've got a naturally high self-esteem - a by-product of being part of the best-educated, most technologically savvy generation alive. You might even look at your baby boomer parents with the slightest sense of pity. Now, don't get me wrong - they had it good, just not as good as you. They had choices, just not as many. They had education, just not as much. They had self-expectations, just not as high. But the flip side of a hot-shit generation like ours is the crippling effect that failed self-expectations can have when reality sets in.....
Be you at the tail end of generation X or the height of generation Y, you may feel like you were destined to do something bigger and better than you currently are. Our demographic doesn't fear the future, we don't worry about authority and we've never experienced economic recession, but we do seem to have one paralysing fear - mediocrity.......
We're at ends as to what the fuck we're actually meant to do with our lives. We've been brought up to believe we can do anything, be anything, and so you have this entire class of upwardly mobile people all striving to live the deam. But what if we can't? Brad Pitt's Tyler Durden said it best in the Fight Club: "We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Josh Phillips, Frankie issue 20

wikipedia's explanation of:
generation x: a term used to describe generations in many countries around the world which were born between 1964 and 1980. there seems to be a whole collision of what they actually represent
generation y: to describe those children born between 1981–1995. to re-confirm the article above there is alot more other interesting reasons to why im this jaded and cynical at only 23 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Y

my commentary:
jesus fucking christ, that explains it all then
im glad we're all feeling a little below par and like unaccomplished misfits
the bandwagon seems to be getting a little full
