Our generation is depressed because we were born in a world of knowledge, and we have knowledge of the fact that were basically being fucked up our own asses. Our generation has to deal with a dying planet and a dying social structure. We don’t have parents who can take care of us, or food with the proper nourishment. We’ve had advertisements, fast food, and big businesses dicks down our throats for our entire existence! All our parents are divorced or drunk, all our schools are filled with violence and a failing educational system that barely educates in the first place. When were not trying to get homework done, studying, filling out college apps, working part time jobs, were glued to our fucking TV’s because were so exhausted and drained from the latter! We don’t have a vibrant culture or amazing new things to experience. We need something, we look it up on fucking wikipedia and then go on with our day. Like fuck, do you know how rare it is to actually find a teenager with a damn hobby? If our generation is gonna go down in history for anything, it’s gonna be for shit music, unoriginality, and boredom. Were not truly guided by any one. No one is giving us the proper life tools other than “Do good in school and buy this brand of jeans”. The worst part is a lot of us know what’s going on, but we just can’t do anything about it. That’s the heart of the matter.

We

can’t

do

anything

about

it.

There’s no fear of the unknown, there’s no new things to experience because we’ve already been told everything we need to know by watching the goddamn MTV news. We don’t have role models, we don’t have substance, we don’t even have both our parents half the fucking time. We can’t think, we can’t create, we can’t even be ourselves because of fear of persecution. “If it doesn’t fit into the narrow ideals of the education system and work force it has no place in society” which is essentially what you’re telling us and that’s basically saying WE don’t fit in. When were not being told were too fat, too tall, too short, too thin, too outgoing, too shy, too dark or even too happy were told by YOUR generation that were not good enough. Were judged, berated, humiliated, undermined, and just plain patronized.

OUR GENERATION IS DEPRESSED BECAUSE WERE TOO TIRED OF TRYING TO FIT INTO A WORLD CREATED BY THE GENERATION BEFORE US!

And we are fucking DONE trying to “fit in”.

I know I only reblog Paramore’s stuff, but idk, I just wanted everyone to read this. This is totally how I feel.
