    Scumbags? Where did I call any teenager a scumbag?

    I just use "scumbag" to describe anyone who acts in a disrespectful manner, read no more into it.

    Teenagers are a lot more confident and socially well adjusted compared to us in our day.
    Dunno about that. Social media is causing all kinds of problems that are very difficult to tackle.

    music was not much better back then.
    Yes it was. People keep saying chart music is not getting worse, it's the same as it always was, which is clearly not true. There was a time when Blondie was chart/pop music.

    I'm 26, so I surely can't be accused of being an old fart.

    Is it just me or are a lot of teenagers nowadays absolute arseholes? With their stupid looking hairstyles, skinny jeans and chinos. They are obsessed with Facebook, Snapchat and all that irrelevent bollox that comes with the iPhone generation. Swag? Yolo? Lel? Fuck off!

    You sure you're 26 and not 56? As almost every twenty something I know is a pretty heavy user of snapchat and facebook.

    To be fair I think it's the 20 and 30 somethings that are having chronic issues with social media.

    And as regards music how can you blame teenagers for that?? They listen to what is music at the time, they don't make the music.

    Most of their music is prob written for them (maybe JB's isn't but 1D don't write their own) plus do you think that they really get to decide for themselves what they do?? Most of the things they do are directed at teenagers. You can't say music of late is teenagers' fault.

    Lel
    Unlike what many people think lel is not an acronym in the same fashion that LOL is (it does not mean laughing extremely loud, laughing extra loud or similar). Lel (and variations including lal) resulted from the use of random vowels substituted in place of the 'o' in LOL. These vowels were used in an attempt to be different from the millions of internet gamers. The word however, in essence, still means LOL.

    Urban dictionary's meaning......

    so it's like swig? I.E the non-nerdy version of an overdone hence ironic reference? I know my teens use "he got swag" as a slagging for people who don't. This teen-speak is complex sh1t. Fish is the newest it seems - fcuk it, sh1t happens, fwiw.

    LOL I'm a lad and how would say that it is their fault?? You hardly think that if teenagers didn't like this music then they would rise up and demand something better that older people would also like?? When you were a teenager did you have a choice about what came on the radio??

    And don't get me started on the whole American accent shite that some of them come out with. OMG!

    You very rarely see many of them outside kicking a football these days. This is what me and my friends mostly did when I was a teen. On our days off school we would be gone from the house all day and our parents would almost have to drag us into the house when it got dark.

    Halloween is nowhere near what it used to be, teens are not interested in collecting for bonfires anymore and it's rare to hear a few bangers going off. Again, this is what me and my friends did when I was a teen.

    Feck it maybe I am just an old fart. :(

    I'm hoping..no, praying, you're being ironic there!
