oneirophreniaAs I was out and about cashing my paycheck and picking up more highpowered Tylenol for this crushing headache that still is haunting me, I heard someone on a random talkradio station describe my generation--25-to-30-year-olds--as "the most bitter generation ever." Yeah. I can definitely see that. And I am its king (although this is something I'm seriously working on expunging from my system).
Makes me wonder, though...why, exactly, are we all so damned bitter? I think I know, actually.
It's because the 1980s ended and turned into the 1990s--probably the most miserable let-down of a decade ever. The music sucked, the fashion sucked, the books sucked, and aside from the Bill Clinton presidency, everything sucked. That's enough to make anyone bitter...especially when you have to live through it as an adult.
