Me Vs Us Vs Them





 me:  i think, in a lot of ways, the internet is our generation's mode of rebellion

like, only the real cool kids wrote poetry, and then played good music, and then protested, and then skate boarded, and then used the internet
 Elisabeth:  yes, totally
it's our generation's way of being like, THIS IS ME AND WHY I AM SPECIAL
 Elisabeth:  PLEASE THINK I AM COOL
 me:  the difference is that with the other rebellions, it was like an us vs them
and now it's like a me vs them
which is shittier, i think
 Elisabeth:   there is certainly some aspect of community to the blogosphere
but it's really more like, "oh i'm going to participate in this community so as to get more people to look at my personal corner of the internet"

 Elisabeth:  but, yes, i think the overall tone of our generation is "i am mad because i did not personally get all of the awesome that was promised me as a child, now that i am a disillusioned grownup, hear me roar impotently via twitter"
