Nighty attacks the negative scrugs from generation y.

[nightsavior]

Generation Y needs adjustment


One thing I notice is a growing trend of hatred,arrogance, and eliticism coming from Gen y . In my generation if you didn't have something nice or constructive to say you did not say it. If say you didn't like a particular comic book...you wouldn't shell out cash for it. If you did not like certain music....You simply wouldn't listen to it.

Well generation "Y" has the philosphy of "Look at this fucker claiming to be a musician or artist..let's cut em down to size to show he is no better then us!" First of all I do not think being an artist makes me better. Drawing just happened to be something I enjoyed so I kept doing it. Secondly I do not do art to compete with others. Alot of idiots in generation Y seem to want to out-do others every chance they get even if their own skills are not nearly as good. I equate this do bigger dick syndrome. Being jealous of someone else's talents so they try to make that said person look bad. Lastly many in generation Y think being narcisstic and selfish is cool..for example..

Girl Y : I'd say I'm narcisstic I care about myself more then other people in relationships.

Nighty: Er, ok. I'm not narcisstic but whatever does it for you.

Girl Y: I like teasing too~!

Nighty: That's a good thing? I notice you call guys assholes for hitting on you yet you just admit you like teasing. Isn't that more your fault then theirs? If you sexaully tease people of course you'll get hit on.

Girl Y: Well I want to attract smart people not idiots.

Nighty: Define idiot. Einstein couldn't tie his shoes yet invented the Atom bomb.

Girl Y: That's it you're dim I'm outta here. You come off as understanding yet your words drip with hatred. (Dramatic pause)



Nighty: You are welcome to have that opinion of me. Words dripping with hatred? I'm not the one confessing to being narcisstic and liking to tease people for kicks.

Girl Y: Bwa! Guess some people cannot help but to be idiots!

Nighty: RIGHT (puts dumb bitch on ignore and deletes her name.)

This was similiar to a real conversation I had. Yes there are people like Girl Y out there. It is the reason why my online exploration time in chat remains nearly non existant.

The internet has created another problem for generation y. It encourages them to talk shit knowing that nothing can happen to them online or while in a car. Of course in a real fight situation they are the first to say something like "I was just kidding can't you take a joke?" or "So what you gonna do beat up on someone younger then you?? I'll call the cops man! You can't touch me!" Generation Y has no concept negative actions catch up to people and when they finally get the shit knocked out of them for being assholes they cry about it to the authorities.

Idiots,elitist pigs, and cowards seem to have come out of the newest batch of teenagers. I'm not saying everyone from generation Y are bad. One of my true loves came from generation Y. However the amount of selfishness, ego mania, and shirking of responsibilities practiced by many of today's young adults is making me question what the fuck is wrong.

For the negative percent of Gen Y here are some helpful hints. For Gen Y people that are decent and considerate of others this of course does not apply to you.



1. The world doesn't revolve around you.

2. Opinions are like assholes everyone gots one.

3. You don't whine or give up simply when things get tough or don't go your way.

4. If you don't know about what you're talking about please shut up.

5. Not everyone wants to be in a "mine is bigger and better then yours" grudge match. Many of us do stuff just for fun or to show it to people that can appreciate it. We aren't doing it to compete or be harolded as "supreme masters".

6. Life is more then fashion and looking cool. Stop being superficial pricks.

7. Karma is a bitch. Don't want to end up in a hospital? Don't treat other people like garbage. Eventually you're going to smart off to the wrong adult and get your head caved in by a meaty fist.

8. If you Gen Y girls do not like negative sexaul attention don't tease guys by rubbing your scantily clad booty in their face. Otherwise you're asking to get sexaully harassed. Remember the image you put out reflects to others what you want or what you represent regardless on whether or not it is true.

9. Actions speak louder then words. Talking or typing smack doesn't amount to shit in the greater scheme of things.

What is generation Y? I never heard that term before.

Its one generation below Gen X...I think. I'm not entirely sure on it's timeframe though.

Am I part of it? Is the Yvlfuck part of it?

In any case, it's good to see another NightyRant™.

2. Opinions are like assholes everyone gots one.
You missed part of that: And they ALL stink like $H!T

[The Deity]

Only objection I have is in regard to your thoughts on competition.

I think that trying to be the best is quite healthy. You should strive to be better than others. Its what sets you apart and makes you who you are. If I'm going to take up a hobby, I want to be as good as I possibly can and hope to be the best. I'm not egotistical enough to say I'm the best at my life's pashions. Let's just take poker for example. I play poker all the time and I win consistently against a variety of opponents and online. I don't think I'm the best player around, but I'm on my way toward a goal of that.

There's nothing wrong with competition, its healthy. It gets people off their asses in an attempt to better themselves.

[nightsavior]

Yeah but when people compete sometimes they go about it like assholes. Or they think they're already better then you when in actuality they aren't. I prefer friendly competition with friends but I hate jack asses that are elitists. Also sometimes even if people are beaten they won't admit it. One can be ambitous but that doesn't mean they have to be inconsiderate of others too. You can succeed in life without being a self absorbed ego manical wang. There have be honest caring men and women that have gotten into seats of power. Thus the whole "shark tank" theory falls on its face.

[Rainbow Dash]

I thought our generation was "Echo boomers." I've been calling it "The last generation" though.

Well, I hate society, so I guess this doesn't apply to me. >.>

[nightsavior]

Yup echo boomers is another classification of Gen Y which is in itself is a dumb term. Then again so is labeling people into a generation category to begin with.

[Chicken Little]

Its one generation below Gen X...I think. I'm not entirely sure on it's timeframe though.

Am I part of it? Is the Yvlfuck part of it?

In any case, it's good to see another NightyRant™.

we are gen X, like the 18-30yr olds, gen Y is liek the 12yr olds who are just getting around to going 'oooh boys/girls are hooot'

9. Actions speak louder then words. Talking or typing smack doesn't amount to shit in the greater scheme of things.

Words actually go along way, its why those with power hold a debate instead of a boxing match. Afterall if you can convince someone that they are wrong, it holds far more sway then any other action taken in an attempt to convince them. Though i do get your point with this statement, and have ran across my fair share of the same.

[[PhiberOpticks]]

I think this rant has some correlation to the fact that there is a rising percentage of mentally-retarded people in this country.

[Night]

I have to say... I'm superficial and I love to insult people, say mean and degrading shit, and laugh at other people's expense. I value my clothes very highly. I compete at anything I pride myself in, including art. I won't tell you that yours is shit, but I'll say I think mine is better.

I've always gotten along with you, because you describe assholes. It's not what you do, but how you do it.

[Nickelback]

The way I usually deal with those people, unless they keep trying to drill their point through my nose, is just an "I don't care" message. ^_^

I think whatever floats your boat is applicable too. lol. This was not an attack on everyone from Generation Y and there's the debate of course all Gen yers are just younger variants of Gen X which was therotically my generation of idiocy. But yeah I know alot of people with the "above" attitude taken more or less to the extreme in certain areas.


Every generation is roughly the same. You got a few good people that succeed by being honest and hard working then the rest are flaming butt heads that think they know all when in actuality they don't know shit. There is also the "growing up" factor. I knew guys from my high school that were complete dicks but when I met them a few years later they were well adjusted and really nice.


I just noticed Gen Y acting out alot more because the internet is a huge interactive world that allows EVERYONE to post what they think. Also Gen Y seems to like to take "agro" to a whole new level. It did seem Gen X was quieter. Sure we'd bitch about stuff but I think the majority of us wern't looking for a scrap. We were competitive about alot of things but most of us seemed to think we could win graciously or just "kid around" instead of being assholes on top of that. Though alot of Gen X people had the internet they seemed more prone to want to do stuff. Most of my friends were in bands,pursuing creative endeavors in game design, or going on scenic trips to see what was out there in the world. They really didn't have time to be online.

It at least seems to me that some teenagers are alot more narcisstic and self absorbed coming out of this new generation. Then again ironically the nice people I meet coming out of generation Y seem often to have it more together then anyone from generation X.

Personally I even hate using those labels but it is easy to use for quick references.

[Dark Marmosett]

I'm part of Generation X. Never knew. >.>

[Seraph Zero]

we are gen X, like the 18-30yr olds, gen Y is liek the 12yr olds who are just getting around to going 'oooh boys/girls are hooot'
As far as I remember, Gen X spans from the late 60's to the late 80's... As far as I know, I, born in '88, am one of the first Gen Y'ers. My mom, born in '66, is one of the first Gen Xer's... Well, wait... Okay, generations broken down!!!! (These are rough guesses, according to what I've heard and what I've observed...)

Baby Boom- After the end of WWII, everyone got busy. Focused on improving quality of life for later generations; popularized suburban living...1945-1965.

Generation X- The children of the Boom years. Embraced and typified the attitudes of punk rock and teenage rebellion (the term "Generation X" is a nod to the punk band X)... 1966-1986.

Generation Y- The grandchildren of the Boom, first to grow up in a "high-tech" society (able to readily access information at the touch of a button through the internet and other methods). Sometimes referred to as the "PlayStation Generation;" known for focus on instant gratification rather than hard work... 1987-2007?

Next up will be Generation Z... We're going to ruin those kids...

Shh. No you're not. My sister is Gen X, and she's 35 or so. The cutoff point is the mid-1980s.

Seraph beat me to it.

[Sassafrass Raistimass]

according to wiki of course, but then if you were born between 77 and 81 your in x and y so i'm not sure

[Dark Marmosett]

>.< Crap..that means I am part of Gen Y. And my sister is Gen X. >.>

[nightsavior]

I was born in 1977. That makes me 28. If I was born in 1978 I'd be a echo boomer. Anotherwords..one year shy. According to most sources I'm still apart of Gen X not that makes a profound difference. We were the generation that grew up with Beavis and Butthead afterall. It's weird because some of the divisions seem off on the chart. I always thought the "Mtv generation" was just apart of X.

Perhaps it is the fault of Gen X(or whatever you choose to call it) parents why many Gen Y kids are so spoiled,arrogant, and conceited but that is just speculation. I have no graphs to support that theory just personal experiences online and abroad.

Also as stated before not every Gen Y person is an asshole. It's just the Gen Yers that are assholes are exceptionally good at it. Worse many of them seem 100% proud of it.

[Night]

I mean, I have the traits of the assholes you describe above, but we've gotten along so far. It's the extreme to which it's taken, and that's personal.

[cid]

by that wiki chart right there i would believe we could sum this up by the statement that nighty is referring to the "internet generation"

[nightsavior]

Internet generation sums it up better then Gen y. Also Just I think you're cool...it's usaully those that can admit they're assholes at times that aren't actually assholes if that makes sense.

[Nickelback]

I mean, I have the traits of the assholes you describe above, but we've gotten along so far. It's the extreme to which it's taken, and that's personal.

Exactly what I think. You hit the nail on the head there.
However, I think the inclusion of the Internet, allowing people to be jerks and assholes and whatnot online without any real consequence, gives them their ginourmous superiority complex.

[nightsavior]

I'm an asshole sir! Fire when ready assholes! lol. We're all assholes sometimes. However theres a difference between joking around or slipping up on ocasion and delibertly trying to be a jerk and glorifying cruel or idiotic actions.

Honestly Just you never really came off as an asshole...at least by my personal definition of it.
