There's a kind of immediacy that comes with being constantly connected that I don't really relate to in my generation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think whatever generation you're in has a nostalgia for the generations past and the generations you weren't in.
I've got weird conflicting feelings about my generation.
The millennial generation wants to express every feeling to feel like you're connected to it, and there's something very dark about tragedy that people are drawn to.
In barely one generation, we've moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them - often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.
I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.
My generation, we came along, we had to really know our craft.
I picture Generation X as young adults living in a state of perpetual adolescence.
I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
The one thing that I've learned is that people don't change. Each new generation has the same stuff that the last one did. It's one of those things where jazz kind of works in five-year cycles.
The thing that makes my generation The Greatest is our ability to hang out. We're spectacular at it. If you take somebody from my generation and sit them on a couch and bring them food and plumbing, they'll sit there and talk to you about anything you want until the day you die.
