Why The Generation That's In Their 20's Now, Is The Best Generation

By Morgan-Rae Ciani on December 20, 2014

While every generation believes that they are the best generation, I think it’s rather obvious that ’90s babies were close to the best (yes, of course I’m a ’90s baby).

We clearly had the best cartoons: “The Rugrats,” “Hey Arnold,” “Keenan and Kel,” “Dexter’s Lab,” “Even Stevens,” “Courage the Cowardly Dog,” and who could forget those radical little kids on “Rocket Power?”

Meanwhile, the newest media generation has adults dancing around singing the alphabet, which I’m not saying is a bad thing. We were the last generation that enjoyed playing outside. Weekend nights consisted of manhunt and now kids don’t even have to be with their friends to be hanging out with them, they can just sit inside and play Xbox or PlayStation and play against each other.

While again, I’m not saying that these things are all necessarily bad things, how good can they be?

Our generation accepts each other for who they are. We see everyone as equals and we’ve broken the racial barriers. Meanwhile, the generations before us are just making them worse.

All you see on TV today is case after case about white shooting black and black rioting. Our generation doesn’t have that, we don’t see the need to separate from one another.

We grew up with a mixture of races. Our friend groups tend to consist of multiple different races and we love it. We took the flower power generation and made it real. We don’t understand why everything has to be about war, because we’ve grown up with the idea to love.

The generations before us discovered marijuana and the power it has behind it, but our generation took it, made it better, and made it legal. Our generation wants the world to see that it isn’t a gateway drug like the generations before us believe, it’s a drug that can help, a drug that almost solves problems. A drug that has improved economies, a drug that has made it possible for people with medical conditions to find relief, a drug that may even be able to prevent medical conditions, and a drug that brings people together.

From the beginning our generation has been fighting to make this country a better place, so step back and ask yourself, have you been fighting to help too?
