You Decide: 5 Things They Should Know About Our Generation

Hey YouTube Friends,
This is the first Cynically Tested attempt at an interactive vlog.
The topic "five things you should know about our generation". Leave us a Video Blog or a comment and let us know. We're speaking at a giant marketing conference in Toronto and think that our generation has been misrepresented long enough. It's time to make them wise up. So, help us out! We'll take your suggestions to the Millennials Conference March 5th 2008 at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto Canada.

If you don't want to respond via video, leave them in the comment section or email us at twixters@hotmail.com

p.s. The song is B.M.F.A by fellow Canadian Martha Wainwright - Dan thinks she's swell! www.marthawainwright.com

Things they should know about our generation:

- A sad dependent bunch.

- Incredibly fragile and spineless.

[cynicallytested]

What makes you say that? We'd be interested in some examples or reasons that lead you to feel that way

[alejandrobaxter]

- Our generation is predicted to the be first, to do financially worst then our parents.

- We want lifestyle not just money because most people either have money and no time or they have time but no money.

- We want to belong to something great and make a difference and not just another carbon unit sitting at a cubical.

- Our generation is bearing witness to the slow decay of the middle class over the next 50 years.

- What vodka did to the Russians is what TV is doing to us!

[cynicallytested]

Speaking of your last point - Did you know we have a tv show? Hmm maybe not the time to bring that up..have you seen our film the Lonely Russian? Maybe not the time for that either... We like number three will include it. Thanks for the help

[sephirich]

1984'er here--the dudes in our generation love zombies. If it's got zombies (or ninjas, or pirates), we love it. Kind of a trend that spawned out of nowhere. Not sure, exactly. But we love 'em.

Also, we're divided in half by our love/hatred of reality TV. Half of us can't seem to live without it (these people visit blogs and watch what OTHER people think/predict about reality TV). The other half really hates this half, and hates TV almost as if it's some form of stupid protest.

[cynicallytested]

From the facebook/youtube entries so far - yours is the first to be included in our presentation.

[The1ByTheSea]

Bush fucked us.

That's about all we need to know.

Other than that you can't trust the government at all.

that's a known fact

and then they wonder??

HELLO??

[jedi1josh]

You're making Generation Xers feel old. Damn it, my back went out again.

[MaxBlight]

How about we talk about the past generation? the bastards who keeps clinging on traditions that are utterly useless to life.

[dodgyhingst]

I was bored with this video by 0:35 because nothing was happening.

[blurock29]

whats the song at 1:25

[LiquidNihilism]

its funny how everyone on this comment list who has nothing nice to say about generation Y can't seem to type a decent sentence to save their life. Seriously, check out some of these sentences! And btw, what kind of loser goes trolling through youtube pages looking for videos about young people, just so they can write hateful things about them? You say we're useless, HA! Get a life, hypocrites. Im not lazy-i work hard, i don't feel entitled, im not a greedy working-stiff like alot of boomers....

[ipodgirl95]

@dihle12 um....not employing the whole generation would cause some serious economic issues....not all people from this generation are lazy, immature and useless. Some, like myself, are actually willing to work hard and get what needs to be done finished and completed correctly.

[okridiculous]

I totally disagree with dihle 12. Being the parent of two teenagers I am gravely concerned for the economic future my children and grandchildren are inheriting. Its a mess. we are not on the brink of an economic turn around we are the brink of a depression. This is the legacy the preceeding generations have left. And I'm not playing the blame game. We scream at young people about taking responsibility for their actions. Lets put our money where our mouths are and take responsibility for ours.

[dihle12]

i cant believe it all anyone hears from y gen and younger is excuses blame everyone but themselves time top grow up and get off mummies tities

[1234night]

shut the fuck up im a scientist and im 20 so shuve it up the ass you prick

[SouthernWhiteTrash]

i'm 26. i work 60 hours a week. i am over qualified, with a college education, in a construction job. i am not lazy, but i guess i'm bad at sucking up to office management. dihle is kinda right about some kids. but gosh, in the late sixties, kids were so productive and hard working i wish i could be like that. kids are kids.

[dihle12]

hey seductioness do you know you why people dont employ your age group because your lazy immature brats who are unreliable and cant do a decent days work time to get off mummys breast and grow up
