Holy mackerel, do you really think all the things you thought were cool back then were? I imagine most people of the generation above thought "what a knob" to most of the things we thought were cool.

That's so true, just glad I didn't follow many of them.
In time most of you'll agree about your generations, and that the 'modern' music is crap - actually it seems to be getting better the last few years, but before that...

aah common. I'm all for being fashionable, but I really dislike how so many people feel the need to look like everyone else and not just the teenagers. For example here in Switzerland a lot of guys wear those jeans that hang really low, like it falls off. Or the chavs with sports wear on all day long. It looks stupid and definitely not "cool". But I guess my understanding of "cool" is different than someone else's. Wearing a hoody or scarf in mid summer is another thing I can't understand.

Yeah, people showing their individuality by wearing piercings, tattoos, black jeans, etc - just like all the others doing exactly the same things to express their 'indviduality' - sometimes seems the rest of us are a distinct minority, which is

There's so much choice in clothing styles and fashions yet the lemmings still follow each other.
It's like at parties when people seem to be more concerned in checking out what everyone else is wearing and seeing if their being checked out in turn than actually having fun with their friends. Heck, consider all the idiots binge drinking themselves into oblivion - what's the point when they wake up hungover, in their own vomit, often assaulted and down a bunch of money? Is it just because they think everyone else is and they don't want to seem like they're not the same as their peers?
