Troubled Youth?

I don't have much to say concerning the fashion for Dimepiece's Too Much Too Young Spring 2010 Collection, yes, I am a fan, but the season's lookbook is captivating in another way. It raises questions and I find it to be a great discussion topic. I love the introduction to the photos, the way they explain the youth of today is shrilly accurate. My mind has paced over the plight of my contemporaries, not to exclude myself, of course. Are we too self-indulgent, sexual, gullible? In an engaging coversation with a very well-spoken friend, we talked about how revolutionary the youth has been in the past. The youths were the interrogators of the government, of society, of world issues. They were the people who wanted to see the world change. But, sadly today's youth is not nearly as strong-willed and resolute when it comes to society and change. We'd much rather look good and seem smart than DO good and BE smart. Don't get me twisted, there are some with concerns, some who want to see the world head in a different direction, but as I said before, we as a generation are not what youths once were. It's like our brains are clouded with bullshit, maybe it's not our fault, maybe we really can blame "society," the media, the times... See Dimepiece's Too Much Too Young Spring Collection 2010 Here
