I only hate them because they have a plethora of cosmetics and beauty products at their disposal to amplify their youthful beauty. All we had was blue nail varnish, So? deodorant and a cover girl lip gloss if you were lucky. I remember going into BT and pawning my money with my best friends money and we bought a clinic lip gloss between us. We thought we were the bees fúcking knees. Nowadays young people have designer everything and hair extensions, professional makeup etc. Fúckers :P Actually I don't hate them at all and sure weren't we all young once.

Is the OP actually 21?

Lads have been tucking their tracksuits into their socks for over a decade now at least.

I'm lying on the couch beside the fire and as far as makeup is concerned, I've never worn makeup in my life.

The 18/19 year olds of today were 9,10,11 when high-speed internet became ubiquitous. I would imagine that, for fairly obvious reasons, having unfettered personal access to this technology has had enormous impact on their collective psyche, what they consider to be "normal" with regard to "decency" etc. And in some ways, if *they* don't see any problem with what they have grown to see as normal, then it is not a problem for *them* - it is instinctive for those older than them to feel bothered by their differing ideas of what "normal" is though and an older persons feelings of ill-ease shouldn't be just automatically ridiculed nor should the older person pretend to themselves they *don't* feel ill at ease. I know for me, as someone in their mid 20s, I actually feel a bit envious of people aged 18/19 now - life seems even more hedonistic nowadays than when I was that age, fashions are more aesthetic, everyone looks better looking etc.

Really thought that word was gonna be followed by boobs

**** me if I don't despise young people. Some of them are alright yes, but these teeny boppers cutting about at 2am on the streets and that, excuse me, go home? In town today and there were young wans with shirts barely long enough to cover whatever was underneath, now when did wearing what is essentially a bra in public become acceptable? Now I'm not trying to say they should all wear skirts to their ankles but it's gotten out of hand really. At one time it was rare to see women in belly tops but when they cut about with a top that bypasses the midriff and shoulders it's gone a bit far imo. Maybe I'm mad but I think it's horribly unappealing if I met my wife dressed in that manner I wouldn't be married to her no sir. And the young fellas who put their pants in their socks?? The **** is this??? Holy Christmas fashion and style has just gone to the dogs. Young ones wearing half nothing young lads wearing their pants tucked into their socks who in the Christ said "aye this is cool!" WHEN I WAS YOUNG THAT WOULD BE MADE FUN OF

I don't know anymore

/rant

If you are 21, then everything you've mentioned was done by people your age during your teenage years, and a lot is still done by people your age now. What are you on about?

Widdershins · 30-10-2016 02:17AM

It was the same ten years ago as far as the clothes go but I they have very fancy cosmetics and hair extensions now. And cars.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 30-10-2016 02:55AM

Ten years ago it was piercings. I wasn't even a wild kid and I was getting holes punched in myself left right and centre, most of the girls I hung around with had sucked dick by about 14 or 15. I was drinking from about 13. Remember a girl in the year above me (2nd year) ended up being carted off in an ambulance from having a bad reaction to some drugs she took at the under age disco. When we all started to go to the over 16s disco (at 14/15) the biggest fear was seeing someone swallow their tongue from taking xtc. In fact I remember a particular scary incident behind the harriers where some young lad was having some sort of seizure from whatever he'd taken and security turning a blind eye.
The last night I was at it the drugs squad raided it and it was shut down shortly after that. And let's not forget planet love and gods kitchen.

That'd be 10 odd years ago. Kids wore too much makeup, made bad decisions, got the ride at an early age, had access to drugs, thought they were the sh1t in tartan skirts, uggs, fluffy boots, lots of piercings. Mad for the raves. No problem sourcing alcoholic beverages.

If young ones prefer spending 50 euro on a foundation or a contour kit and some lipsticks, I'd rather that than a 50bag of Coke from an aul one hanging around the bathrooms.

WhoWhatWhere · 30-10-2016 03:06AM

I'm fairly certain that's going on and then some

No it wasn't. It might have been for you, but where I'm from, it was fake ID and flagons it was only tattoos with scumbags.

Where did I mention anything about tattoos? I was a very uncool kid. I got pierced, I drank, and I dyed my hair pinks and purples and cosmic blue on one horrific occasion. I was by no means a wild kid. But that doesn't mean our generation was any better than the young ones now. People are going on like their ruining the world. If anything they're not as much of a dose as we were, as there was no shortage of cash back then.

Pink hair was hot back then

Widdershins · 30-10-2016 03:19AM

I think they're tamer than we were ten years ago.

My pink hair, my thin eyebrows, my tongue piercing and my school journal full of detention stamps that I wore like a badge of honour.

No I don't, thankfully. Because I never took anything as a kid. I believe now that swallowing your tongue is a myth, but when I was 15/16 it was something that I suppose most people would have heard about. That cousin of a friend of a friend who tried swallow his tongue. I don't know as I never got involved in it.

I know what I saw in regards the seizure though.

Yeah. I hate them for their youth and vitality, but mostly I hate them because I'm not one of them anymore.

I don't mind them, by and large, but one thing i hate about them (and people in general) is the excessive use of camera phones.

You can't scratch your ass these days without a picture on feckin' facebook. I remember a thread on here (boards) from a festival with a video, cos someone was drunk and dancing a bit funny (unintentionally). Everyone else was sitting around afraid to move.

Seemed like such a waste of time for everyone. Going to a festival, doing nothing, and when someone does start to enjoy themselves, the 'go to' thing is to record it and try and make fun of it for internet likes.

Seems a bit sad.

That, and I finally got around to seeing Gogglebox for the first time tonight. Whoever watches that, regardless of age, I'll happily agree to meet you and beat you to death with a packet of chocolate digestives. What a load of sh*te, no doubt spurred on by the internet wanna-be-famous crowd :mad:

Swallowing your tongue? I only associate that with knocked out footballers and rugby players and I'm formerly one of those young people who you think voluntarily exposed themselves to what you consider risks.

Gogglebox has been around for a few years but it's gotten more forced over the years. The Irish one is fairly rubbish.
