"Everyone wants it to end, but no one is willing to admit that they're clueless, take a step back, and really see the big picture"

Alpha, i believe the trend you're describing really has little to do with the nihilism and apathy inherent in our generation. People that scream and shout about how this or that is wrong and how we need to do this or that with little knowledge of the situation are lazy. There is a very big difference.

actually, i'm pretty sure that gen-x was coined by Douglas Coupland, a man of your generation. He generally wrote about the tech worker of the 80's and 90's.

sycamore, generally when people speak of lack of work ethic they speak of the lack of "want to" in some people. I feel that my generation is rife with "want to" but i see in myself and my compatriots some questions luming over our heads: "what?", "why?".

these questions remain unanswered.
