Thought provoking XKCD today. When you see a bunch of Hipsters in Hoxditch, or the pack of ASBO-ed hoodies or turbo-hippies getting the early morning train home after a night getting mashed up, what are their parents like? What are they rebelling against? Big hair and shoulder pads, punk, progressive rock?

I never think of it. None of my business, really. I was young like that once.

Indeed, but the question is what their parents are like, not what they are like.

I'm going to go with neo-conformist, suburbanite banality. The MTV generation ended up being a lot like the stereotypical post WW II, "Father Knows Best" generation.

It's so much fun for people of my age to make fun of kids. Remember that you once were young. Let them live.

It's so much fun for people of my age to make fun of people my age. Remember that you're not so different. Let them live.

ps. haters gonna hate.
