Am I getting Older or are the "kids" from Skins Getting Worse?

I watched the fifth series, actually thought the characters were interesting. The problem is, the writers never really did anything interesting with the characters.

Will watch the sixth series when I get a chance, but I'm not sure if I'd be back for more if they make more.

The answer is, none. None until this generation. The youth of today have substituted the Apple devices and social networking sites made by others (principally people from the previous two generations) for the popular culture they have not produced as their forebears did.

Wow...

Just wow.

Facebook was invented by a 20 year old five years ago, aka this generation.

Just wow.

Zruckerberg and the archetypes these kids manifest are not from the same generation.

How the hell do you measure a generation?

My mother's pretty liberal so I had nothing to rebel against.

You could have become a conservative who wears a suit and tie to school.

Family Ties

There’s always something to rebel against.

that happened on felicity.

The scary Gothchick (Amanda Foreman), rallied that she was a rebel and that her boyfriend should FEAR HER... the following day she scanned her lecture theatre at the university only to discover that there was at least 6 girls dressed identically to what she had on, and that how she believe in her snowflake uniqueness up to that point was just a load of balls.

Afterwhich... "Megan" dressed like a young Jaquie Kennedy and it was so hot.
