We are Youth!

YOUTH. We’re a horde of fervent yet frolicking, steely-eyed and unassuming, paged-out-of-this-generation group of kids. And yes, YOUTH! That’s who we are. Period.

We won’t let norms subdue us. We won’t let systems restrict us. We won’t let the media label us. We’re YOUTH. Youth, who refuse to let ourselves be judged by our libido. We refuse to let ourselves be classified as bizarre or unconventional. We are here to reform what’s conventional. To make the unusual routine. To raise the standards, to push the limits of the possible, to think creatively, to act ardently, to laugh loudly, to have fun living this one life we have.

This generation may not accept our style, our lingo or our fashions. We don’t expect them to, either. They won’t understand us. We’re a stride ahead. Our mannerisms and fads hide our high intellect and our ability to reason. We may come across as shallow or trivial, but the world has no clue how intense we are or how profound we can be. Let’s beat it! We are the soul of mankind. The youth of this planet. The energy that drives the country. And we care less for those we look down on us and compartmentalize us.

YOUTH. We are the youth that so drive the government up their walls and get our teachers and elders worried. But we’re substance. We have a voice and a strong one for that. We only want the real stuff. Authentic things to believe in. Rational logic that needs no proof. Genuine principles to put our trust in. We have an acute sense of judgment. We can identify fakes just like that. We can tell what’s the difference between Coke and Pepsi. We selectively vote for the relatively less corrupt politicians. And we know which part of culture is humbug. We’re basically smart.

And you, you there reading this: We are you. You are us. What we are trying to say is that we’re the same. YOUTH. Youth, always looking for something that promises to elevate our senses. A higher high. A more elaborated level of ecstasy. A permanent state of bliss. A lasting hang over. We won’t rest till we find it. Eternal EUPHORIA.
