What is authentic about YOUR teen subcluture? Does your generation have anything that it can call it's own? If there is nothing authentic about your culture, discuss how you feel about that. Does this even matter to you?
I believe that the authentic thing about our subculture today is the internet and the technologies that we now have. Our generation will be known as the generation of the ipods or of the internet. I have not always owned the internet, and I really didn’t get into the whole internet thing until high school. Now the internet has become a big part of my life especially since facebook was created. IPods on the other hand have a bigger influence over our culture it’s a place where many teens can go to, to be alone. I do agree with the statement that Hjelmgren said about how our generation has lost a lot of creativity because when I was younger I was entertained easily just by playing with crayons or chalk, but now I waste my time on things that do not matter like facebook. I just think that our generation has become lazy, and entertained by things that in the end do not really matter. This subject does matter to me because I am affected by it everyday, and we live by it.
