Every generation has a distinct attitude which defines history. Personally, I pick and choose certain traits from each and call them my own, but the one I hold true to my heart, is the 90's.
The 90's was to thank for the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears and the Play-Station. Growing up, it is my firm belief the 90's was the best generation. We weren't addicted to crack, being to skinny wasn't cool and it was the last generation before the ultimate 'we're bored' generation.
We knew how to play on our own and with friends. We dressed up as the Spice-girls every opportunity we could and pretended we were superstars. Kiss and Catch was innocent until proven guilty by a parent. Music was and is who we are, no matter what type. We are the most judgmental people alive, but boy george do we stick together when we need too. We are the 90's kids.
True, we are not kids any more but we hold onto all those things we cherished as kids. We hang out with our friends still at skate parks and we take out the camera and take photos of ants and blur out the grass and call it art.
When I look at those slightly grown up people from when I was a kid, none of them have changed to much. They still have that smart-ass attitude which got them a good smack on the bum (because it was still legal). We are a generation of people who are single and proud. We don't need no one to make us happy, because we are comfy in our skin. But that doesn't mean we don't find comfort in other people. The 90's kids tend to stick together.
When I have an issue, I don't go to anyone but one of my fellow 90's kids. I'm not sure why, but they seem to understand more. And another thing, we seem to steal other generations habits but make them cool.
We smoke, but socially. Still dangerous but more responsible then the chain smokers from the 60's (Dad I am looking right at you). We wear the fashions of the 70's and even earlier. We even adopted hammer pants!
But what is it that makes us 90's kids the most additive generation of all? We know it all. "I don't claim to know it all and I hate to brag, but I do know it all".
Tell me why you think your generation is the best. And 90's kids...keep it real ;).
Keepin' it real.
