Today's youth
Sitting there one day in the morning, watching the youngsters gathering in their pocket near the school, fifteen minutes before lessons start, you try to catch the music they let blare out of their cell-phones because you might find it interesting or you simply can't fail to hear it. You hear something like an electronic beat, at least a bassdrum, some vocals put over it which sound like a rap or something comparable, the language cannot be detected as the sound of a cell-phone speaker is too unclear on a wider range. The music keeps ticking on like a rim shot, someone might be shaking its head corresponding to the beat.
Spending the time watching and listening, you come to think for yourself "Is that all you have to offer?". The songs played before left behind the same impression.
Still plaguing its way through to your mind and consciousness, you throw out the phrase "I'm falling asleep." After letting this happen, you slowly get to reach the word you're looking for: "Square." You repeat it quite a few times with a certain astonishment, but also with a certain trace of rage. You start to laugh. "Do they actually notice how lame they are?", that is the question that runs through your head during the next moment.
There is a saying "The older they get, the more they want to live it up.", but you didn't expect it to be this way.
You start questioning yourself if you're getting old and that's why you don't understand the coolness of it.
But, what you find is, rather you find wilder stuff at yours.
You discover "Rave music from the ninetees had way more tempo and way more weirdness in it.".
The recognition suddenly finally reaches your brain, and you laugh again.
"Fuck, you know what? I know wilder stuff than this. Once it was the older were square and conservative, but now it seems like this has turned around. Youth is more conservative than their grandparents. Rebellion of the youth is over."
As you watch them leave off for lesson, you laugh in a certain amusement. Unwilling to believe, but seeing things are so, and you wonder what this might take things to if already your young self says "You're as boring as bureaucracy to build a shed on your plot."
