  • If you hate this, give me a thumbs up

  • Lost Generation over 14,000,000 views!!!

    This rubbish, less than 300,00.

    You do the maths!!!

  • LOL YU DO SUCH.BT DAT WAS COOL HOW YU JUX PROVED DA WHOLE POINT OF THE REAL VIDEO "LOST GENERATION"

  • doesnt really matter if it is our isnt accurate its the words they are sayin and the whole idea of it all

  • jajajaja!

  • Lol, Excellent! U say hes a pessimist, but u suck

    ur the one looking on the bad side of this, if u think,

    u can see how he uses his brain for one good cause

    unlike you when he made this,

    At least he made it work

    Now aint this true......

    Dont constantly look on the dark side of human nature, see how creative though rupped from another vid this is......

  • wow dude.... if a video changes someones life they dont have a life in the first place.... and you need to go get a life yourself (the opposite dosn't exist so umm.... yea........)

  • YOU LIIKE FULLY ACTUALLY SUCK

  • a video isn't going to change your life, wake up

  • love it

    

  • I like it. sometimes you need the other end of the spectrum. and with all this emotional nonsense -prime example.. people being emotionally moved by aarp videos- someone needs to help them get back to reality.

  • fuck you, you fucking dick head i hate you

  • HI Russel ? Great video - not!

    Anyone with the supernatural intelligence that you possess can produce a technically sound and completely flawless but meaningless response. You must be very proud of using your unlimited talent and great IQ to produce this great work of fART - U stink but probably still enjoy the smell.

  • Well said dude.

    Efficiently proving that it's not difficult to write some politically correct statement and arrange the lines to makes meaningless videos.

  • what a load of sanctimonious bullshit

  • This video speaks volumes of your character... Not just the pessimistic attitude, but to feel the need to knock down somebody else's work that you didn't think of first.

    It was very original, and she did that for a CONTEST. Not trying to inspire 14,000,000 million viewers on Youtube and make douchebags like you jealous.

  • spacken

  • lol

  • I don't think the point of Lost Generation is how long it took to make it. While it may be true that it didn't take very much time -- though keep in mind that their voice acting is infinitely many times better than yours, which does take time, and that they had to write their music for the video, which I don't think you did -- the point is its message. And it has a message and it conveys it well. I usually consider myself a realist, but it's a nice video, even if it is a little cheesy.

  • well fuck you too.

    HEY GEUSS WHAT? :D I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE ON YOUTUBE WITH NO LIFE!! :D

  • Thank you for poking holes in the mystic crap that our culture sucks down. You have a skeptical mind, something most people hate because it makes them see the world in all its blandness. Though I like "A Lost Generation," I don't see it as something as inspiring as everyone else claims.

  • I think we need more optimistic people like the ones who created "The Lost Generation." People like you are the reason things are falling apart. It would do you good to learn a lesson from them. Grow up and stop mocking people with brains.

  • If the Lost Generation Video is great or not isn’t the point of my response.

    Nor is it to agree that this response is better.

    My response is for the producer of this video,

    because the producer of this video didn’t think of the idea,

    yet they think it was cute to mock it.

    Whoever it was has little imaginations and even less hope.

    Jealous much?

  • 14 millions, 260k... and most looked at it because its probably in the suggestions on the sidebar so your basically getting a freebie for nothing.

    And also its to see how life really is...

  • Your video isgreat

    I refuse to think

    That you are a tosser

    I know that it is true

    When I see that

  • The hell happened to you that you can't like a nice video? Or at least not copy it to try to make us believe that it sucks.

  • 14 million people watched it...that's something.

  • lol

    

  • I want that 2 minutes and 10 seconds of my life back. What a waste of time

  • Umm... I don't know, I think I kinda liked the voice of Lost Generation better...

  • You? You are an idiot. The original was a very talented and meaningful message. You? Idiot. Focus your negativity on something with a positive outcome. Idiot.

  • I want two minutes of my life back.

  • You say that this video is nothing intelligent. That may be true, that is, unless the writer was looking to spread an actual message? No...perhaps a statement? One that she wanted to catch the attention of many others. Numbers of them in fact and make sure she was heard and maybe even inspire a few of her readers. Well then, if that were her mission... One would have to say that she has been successful in her efforts. Quite successful indeed. She even got your attention.

  • @Kernriverprincess I understand your point but consider this; car accidents, murder, incest, rape, elder abuse, road rage, mothers killing their babies, spousal abuse, bullying...etc....What do all these things have in common? Negative events that get attention. My point is, why set out to create negativity when clearly, there's enough of it in this world...?

  • You completely miss the point. You're being a dick!

  • HATER!!!

  • this is certainly rather impressive and creative; only that it's ironic how this whole concept is completely borrowed from the Lost Generation video in order to criticise it. abit like kicking yourself in the foot, no?

  • @littleshao i love your vocabulary

  • nice I like this one better

  • so your goal is to take what is one of the most inspirational video's on youtube and just because its not perfect tear it down and ignore its importaqnt message which it delivers very well. i gotta say this just makes you look like a asshole not like a good video producer or a critic...

  • if you think that it is stupid to write such amazing poetry..and it is not worth the time and effort, then why did you do it your self?

  • Lol, you suck

    Not the video

    You are a pessimist

    Look it up

    (the opposite is ALSO true)

  • you're stupid

  • im glade you didnt leave a comment on the video but i just dont like this one its putting our generation down and i am not saying you as a person are bad but based on this video i would gess that.

  • The fish respects that you are voicing your opinion not by writing a you suck comment, but instead working on a way to express yourself. Although I respectfully disagree with your opinion, I will try to understand and not write hateful comments under a well edited and written poem. Keep writing.

  • The entire generation IS not lost !, most are decent kids that still understand what it means to be Americans, It's the few bad kids that get all the press.

    I believe in young people.

  • Damn you guys are harsh. If you don't like this guys poem then just say that. It has nothing to do with him being a Canadian. Also, everyone is entitled to an opinion. if you don't agree then hey no one's making you stay on this page. That's why God created the all powerful "back" button.

  • @aznX4rmbirth amen

  • @franklin9500 Why? I think you're probably a cool guy who happened to be in a bad mood.

  • Of course it took you less than 20 minutes to write; you had a good model to copy from. However, the original presents a negative proposition then, in reverse, a positive proposition. Yours merely rebuts the negative proposition you present in the reverse version. The rebuttal comes first and that makes no sense. A poor, clumsy effort. F.

  • Douchebag Canadian.

  • Comment removed

  • CHACAPELLA u need to go to the mental hospital.

  • I think it's time to stop fueling this soulless idiot's ego by responding to his copy-cat efforts.....demented people get off on any kind of attention so lets band together and leave this jerk alone to try to come up with an original thought. Voice your opinion by simply blowing him into the stroatosphere with a thumbs up.

  • @p910nosral or you could just shut the fuck up

  • @p910nosral His "copy-cat efforts" were to show you that it doesn't take effort to make a video like that of Lost Generation. It's not witty to formulate sentence fragments to mean the opposite when read in reverse order. As for him formulating an original thought, I'd take a look at the video he is rebutting. It's nothing new. "We can make a difference. Blah blah." It's so cliche. I'm also fairly certain a guy like this is above YouTube ratings. By all means though, "like" his video...

  • Comment removed

  • @crimsontearz24 I appreciate that you've addressed my point with my respect and civility. Shows that we can disagree without attacking. But isn't he perpetuating the same point by simply reformatting the original? And for the record, I wasn't so thrilled with the original, decent message but yes, cliche upon cliche. but the original didn't inspire all this infighting which I honest;ly believe was more his intention. He probably is intelligent . I just think he can better channel his skills

  • why don't you use your good poem writing on somthin' good? ya dig? i mean, come on, man. this is no play ground for ya to put up stupid things. learn man! LEARN!!!! get outta here and think back to ur life and learn! i mean, i'm sure ur havin' hard times readin' these comments, but ya know what? here's a tip, you just gotta face what you gotta face. face your bad attitude man. BEFORE YOU SAY SOMEONE SUCKS, SEE IF ANY PART OF YOU ARE BAD AND FIX IT GOOD!

  • Comment removed

  • Even if this is trolling, it's some pretty damn inspirational trolling...

  • Brain-dead, non-American author has no business but bordom and being a "bumber hanger" on anothers success. Clue... How do we spell "honorable" in this country (not honourable)! I suggest the author find something wrong in his country and write that in reverse (with a positive attitude, might be a career in it).

  • I don't really agree with your opinion but you must have worked pretty hard so good job! :)

    i don't think people get that you are actually liking it for half the time.

    great work though

  • lololol - awesome. Look at al the sheep disliking this.

  • You suck!!!!!!!!

  • Grow up. Try looking beyond the facts and figures and into the soul of the Lost Generation Video. Then if you find fault in that speak out about it. The wise man listens to what is being said as well as the words used to say it and makes his decision. The fool has his decision made before walking into the room.

  • Dude - grow up. The point of the Lost Generation video has clearly been lost on your apparently extreamly limited mind. The point is not for it to be a perfect pallendrome but to bring the attention to the subject of the piece. I advise you to broaden your mind beyond facts and figures and look into the soul of something. If what you see there is unsavory to you then critisize that not the shell that holds it.

  • I think this is pretty clever. The Lost Generation glosses over many many details one must consider in trying to change the world. 

  • It's sad that this person completely missed the message of the original Lost Generation. What he's done is not clever, nor is it funny. He does not convince us of his intelligence but of his lack of perspective and insight. He is lost in his own generation.

  • it's not about how long it took to make the video, but the message that it's trying to tell us.

    i wouldnt expect someone like you to understand that because your a dick.

  • Good work mate, very funny. I get really annoyed by the people who send these "inspirational" videos and emails around and everyone who watches or reads them and thinks they're now enlightened and part of the solution. Good to see someone else see it for what it is.

  • The guy has a point.... I agree.

  • ur a dick

  • Yeah, you're jealous.

  • Lame

  • Lost Generation is amazing, and it's not about the time that goes into it, whether it takes 20 minutes or 20 weeks, it's about the outcome of the work. That's what I think, and I hope some agree with me.

  • lol lost generation sucks

  • You are missing the point young man. It is all about the message not the ability to produce anything. Grow up.

  • Your an Asswhole, like serously?

  • google "Human Race To Undergo Mastectomy?"

  • LOL

  • AMAZING.

  • Thing is mate they did it FIRST....and like on so many other occasions in life being FIRST is all that really counts..how many times do we hear "he was SECOND but he was better?"..this is not to deny that your work has merit, it is clever, well produced and well performed and SECOND.... congratulations.

  • I agree, I watched "Lost Generation" and saw it as moderately clever in a gimmicky kind of way. I think you've done well to show how relatively easy this sort of thing is to do, not the work of truly exceptional genius that people seem to be going on about. IMO it seems you are simply debunking the original video's method NOT it's message.

    But nothing compares to the irony of all the "Lost Generation" fanboys abusing the crap out of you for not having compassion, love and hope in your soul.

  • Screw whoever made this. Lost generation rules!!!!

  • Honestly people will do what they want and most will suffer the consequences of their actions. What is probably hopeless is trying to convince them what is right and wrong. Sometimes they have to figure that out for themselves.

  • I am not going to sit here and belittle you for attempt to take something that sends a beautiful message to people and turn it around for your own noteriety. I think enough has been said about your charicter I just have one thought.....Please tell me you do not hold a job as a person who has the ability to influence the young minds of our children? I would be devistated to belive that I would put my trust and faith in you as such!

  • How did you manage to make this video and not put "I am a jackass" at the end?

  • Wow... this just shows that there is positive and negative energy out there... I know for a fact that if everyone watched the Lost Generation, the world would be a better place. Whoever said that this guy needs to get out more is right... we all mature at different times in life I suppose.

    "It takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams."

    Don't follow this guy!

  • Ummm, who the fuck cares? So what if they moved and changed a couple of words. It has a very powerful message. and thats what matters. People like you just can't stand it when people other than you are being complimented. Its so fucking selfish. The original video was fantastic. So what if you don't think it was good. You don't have to bring the rest of us down with you. Its clever and uplifting. What the hell is your problem? 

  • i dont agree with what this guy says, but the only juice i can squeeze outta this orange, is the fact that he sticks to his gun, and stands up for what he thinks is right, i may not believe his opinion, at least he doesn't irrationally swears onto it and makes horrible judgement onto it

  • What's your problem? You want to have the world toiling in violence, disease, and poverty?Stop being a hater and actually try to make the world a better place instead of just mocking a video that's trying to make a change. Go die in a hole if you dont want to make a change. It is actually doing something. telling su not to lose hope and that we can be different and change the way we think we're headed. It's a good video. leave it alone.

  • The original video is brilliant. Even taken as pure satire, this send-up is a depressing glimpse at the sector of society who call good evil, and evil good; who mock rather than create; who consume rather than produce; and who seek to debase the human condition rather than raise it to a higher level.

  • Video IS dorky; the sentiments in it are nice, though. Certainly, a little trick with words isn't going to save the world....getting up off our butts and doing something about it is the way to go...

    For some people though, it is easier to watch the video and feel virtuous, rather than actually DO something. Skip the words and go right for the deeds!

  • 5 star effort sooo true

  • your right this video does suck.

  • Bravo!

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!

  • why oh why must you do this? Its not your thought..it was a college students project..its not your talent or even your idea...it was his..

  • You ARE the Lost Generation! You can't see the forest for the trees. It's not HOW the video was done - or that you can do it. It's the message, which obvsiosly was lost on you. My heart bleeds that there are people like you out there who have no respect for anything, and will shape the future of your generation with your ignorance and disdain.

  • Dude you need to get out more and meet some real people

  • This is the reason why the world is fucked. I hope the world does end on 2012 because i cant begin to fathom what it will be like if people like this ignorant prick roam the earth much longer. The earth nor society have anything going for it at this point.

  • why would it suck? it was very inspirational and very original. sure it may be easy to replicate. its obvious in that nature. but to figure out HOW TO DO IT...everyone can copy something once someone does it, not everyone is original. you're just bitter you didnt do it first. dipshit.

  • Pretty funny.

  • i agree with tommo2785 you are stupid this is the thing that made it hard for the world to grow from negitive mother f*****s like u can u stop critizing everything you c and be a glass half full person or is that impossible for you.

  • @purplechiziscool Yeah, because pretending that something is going to miraculously change something by... what? Osmosis? Some collective human wish? is going to help? No. Self-deluded optimism is even less productive than this video.

    I'll take one rational, intelligent mind over 10, 000 wishful optimists. The video this criticises is no more useful than this one is. Why waste time posting comments when you seem so keen to get out there and change the world? Or did you just want it to fix itself?

  • @emanonami Yeah lets just go crawl in holes and watch all our hard work of us and our ancestors. Lets watch our loved ones die. lets watch our world fall into waste. Really? If pessimists like you would stop saying we need to stop trying becasue it won't work and actually tried and stopped criticizing maybe we could get somewhere.

  • @DemonRevolutionaries Lol... This was exactly my point... That sitting around making or critiquing a video on YouTube is a waste of time. Instead of sitting around thinking up clever gimmicks, it'd be better to use that brain power to come up with a solution. Capice?

  • Lol, when i first saw the original there was a moment of 'oooh thats pretty cool' when it reversed. Could guess the rest after that though. Liked yours for poking fun at it. Nice one. Really take you only 20mins?

  • this video outta be played backwards..... then it'd b true

  • It is people like you who are the LOST generation and who think that you re soo clever well I will tell you that I stopped your video halfway through, and it doesn't make you a bigger person to hear the kind of language that you use in your responses it just proves to me what kind of person you are and your mental capacity (uneducated) you are truly lost and it is sad... I pity you

  • I like turtles?

  • @Niven42 random much

  • Maybe we are messed up because people would rather spend the time and energy to debunk somthing and that is ment for good, and to put someone else down, rather than to spend the same time and energy to improve their own lives or the lives of others around them. it is eaisier to tear down someone else, than to lift yourself up.

  • love it! get over yourselves, you want to be positive---then be positive dammit! just leave the rest of us alone in your soupy, cream-pie world.

  • dick head

  • He's not debunking the message of the "Lost Generation" video.  He just has a message for the thousands of losers who think what was done was some great artistic and near impossible accomplishment.

  • You seem to think this is a clever response. Or you somehow believe the original video is stupid. Understand that we all need positivity sometimes. Replicating a technique to attack the message = silly. Especially in light of the effects it's had on people. All you have to do is look inside, ask yourself. Do I really make an impact on the lives around me? Or am I just wasting people's time? Understand that everything you do has consequences. Come on man. Have a heart! Everybodys reading this!
  • @benaerograffiti

    Ha ha! Cute acronym!

  • you are stupid, foolish and a waster!!!

  • Congratulations @CHACAPELLA, you now look like an ass-hat.

  • ur just sad! whats the point in making a hater video! thats about 20 mins of your douche bag life youll never get back

  • A truly clever person would have created this type of film rather than just imitated it in a bad parody obviously borne of jealousy.

  • why would you criticize what someone else wrote that doesn`t have any direct or indirect effect on you? if you don`t like it or think it`s clever (which the creator never claimed it to be) why waste your time creating a video to trash it? if it`s clearly not worth your time, why invest so much into a counter"attack" on the creator? why not just ignore it and move on?

  • awesome :)

  • you must have known people all over the world would now think you're a cock, no?

    because, you see, this video is cleverly done, i agree, but just what you have redone is shity undoubtebly.

    this video is brilliant, no way don't think, i hate it, chacapella sucks.

  • I feel very sorry for you. Why do you feel the need to attack something and someone who did nothing to you? Perhaps you should join the Republican party.

  • This is hella funny xD

  • Haha! This is awesome!

  • when i started watching this, i tried to read it backwards now, and yeah i did expect it to be the same as the lost generation one

  • How sad it is that you have spent your time bringing people down.

    if you can't lift people up, then just shut up. You need Mental help.

  • Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

  • Your poor little boy. People who know who they are don't put energy into something as petty as insulting someone else's creativity. What exactly did you gain by being mean spirited and condescending. If the work is so bad couldn't you muster a couple of brain cells to come up with your own ORIGINAL IDEA to make your infantile point? Man up Sweetheart 

  • What a douchebag.

  • Your video convinced me that it's easy to be snarky and cynical, nothing more.

  • The difference between this and lost generation is that lost generation was created to have a point of showing what happens if we reverse how we think. In a way it's symbolic.

    You obviously missed the point if you think it was just about "oh look, I can reverse words and it'll just seem cool", which seems to be the case as this was all about "oh I can do it too".

  • Russell it did take a lot more time to make lost generation because

    1.it started as a poem and

    2. he thought of it himself not just see one like it then make a new like you just did

    lost generation had a meaning to it that meaning is WE CAN REVERSE THE EVIL THOUGHTS OF THE LOST GENERATION AND NOT DESTROY EARTH. your video is saying WE ARE A LOST GENERATION WE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD

    i truly hope you can reverse your thinking and lead a better life, GOD BLESS

    if not YOUR WORTHLESS, BURN IN HELL

  • oh fuck you :P ur jokin right?

  • I think you guys are giving this guy too much credit. The reality is that there will always be people out there who bash and shit on other people's work simply because they can. It wasn't that the creator of this vid had a problem w/ Lost Generation as much as he just thought it would be a fun idea to say it sucked just to get a reaction out of those that liked it. Why? Well to put it simply; he's a douche bag. The internet is full of them. Just ignore the vid and stop giving him views.

  • you just have no life so you ruine evrything.........YOU SUCK

  • please find something better to do with your time, you just make yourself seem like a fool by making this

  • You never give a reason.

  • what's your point? what's your motive? :)

  • I liked both videos, both took time and intelligence to write them. This one made me laugh, the other made me think.

  • who cares if there are words are fliped and left out its the point that it is inspirational and why would you do this is it becuz you have no life or is it becuz you just belive that it truely is the most inspirational videos in you tube.

  • who cares if there are words are fliped and left out its the point that it is inspirational and why would you do this is it becuz you have no life or is it becuz you just belive that it truely is the most inspirational videos in you tube.

  • I lol'd... he has the right to his opinion...

  • Stop hating people who have to balls to write something creative and meaningful. You dumb-ass!!!

  • I don't get it, why are u doing this ??

  • you maybe a hater... but one that thinks... your still a hater.

  • stupid.

  • You must have no life to produce this video. You're a simple, mindless hater that needs to grow up. You're part of a Lost Generation. This video alone is worthless. Go make a positive difference in life, because people like you will only make society seem even worse than it already is.

  • hes probably emo and hates life :p

  • FUCK YOU

  • To ones upset with The Lost Generation, responding with cursing and name calling, I offer this. The problem is BIG, VERY BIG. I see it in many young people I know - drugs, sex, drinking, babies born of wedlock without proper care, aborted, or adopted out. You can rant, agree, or be neutral. But I see this problem with my eyes. It’s real. You have a choice - a “down path” or “up path”. Choose wisely. Be a leader to change history and stop destruction. Choose Jesus Christ for the “true path.”

  • 1:14 "The OPPOSITE is true" Either you screwed up, or everyone here is an idiot.

  • hater

  • you are an idiot

  • Why insult this video because of irregularities in the palindrome? Why ruin it for the people who like it? Why does it matter that it's not a difficult task?

    What is wrong with the message? It's promoting hope, and the idea that we can change the world. It's the idea that we are not "the lost generation". We can make ourselves better. Or do you have a problem with that?

    Your video's flawed, too. It contradicts itself in several places. Sentences seem to be meaningless. I could go on...

  • you're a dumbass :P

  • why have you taken time out of your life to piss on omething that is pretty good at least and probably doesnt have an upper limit on how inspirational it could be to someone else. Do you have nothing better to do with your time? Disagree with it? Maybe? Rip it down for no other reason than to show everyone how clever you are? no point. You, my friend, are the reason that these videos are made. To counteract negative, short sighted fellows such as yourself. Have a think buddy, it wont hurt.

  • why do this?

    

  • plagiarist....piggybacking on someone elses work and then having the cheek to belittle them...what a tard!

  • lol that was pretty cool and well done :P

    but r yea serious? u don think lost generation was a bit inspirational?

  • even better then the lost generation!!!

    Im with you man!!!
