Actually not too shabby. I think the world is finally getting less crazy. Either that or we’ve become more numb to it. More school shootings but other than that, it’s been aight
Person 1: Maybe the world will finally get better. 2019 is kinda ok I guess
Person 2: Yeah hopefully..

Today’s teenagers and young adults, ranging in age from about 10-22. Whatever source you look up says something different, though.
We grew up in a post 9/11 world, were kids when the economy crashed, saw the first black man elected president and the first orange man elected president. Social media and iPhones were and are part of growing up for us.
Although the world is statistically getting better, we’ve never felt like we live in a peaceful world. As kids, we watched the war in Iraq and Afghanistan on TV. We have seen the rise of ISIS, school shootings, and huge natural disasters due to climate change. We have been inundated with bad news and fake news due to growing up with the internet. Adults told us growing up that we were entitled narcissists and our phones that they invented were destroying our social skills.
We grew up on youtube, twitter and instagram, making friends with people halfway across the world since we were young. We are the first truly global generation. Our claim to fame is our memes.
We have been handed a world that is more complex and faster changing than any other time in history. Many see it as broken. We saw the world lose it’s footing around 2016 when Trump became president, Brexit passed, and Harambe died. Many of us question whether or not it’s ethical to have kids, because we wonder if they’ll be around to see the end of the world. We are ridden with depression and anxiety and worry for the future. We are doing the best we can.

Updated for 2020.
Born 1995-2009. The generation that marched in the streets for the unjust murder of George Floyd, sometimes getting shot at and tear gassed by cops. The generation that got part of its youth taken away by COVID-19. The generation that some graduated without ever getting to have prom, or properly say goodbye to their friends, or be physically in school for months on end. The generation of masks, isolation, and fear. The first generation to see climate change truly screwing over the whole planet. Those of us from Australia and the west coast woke up to blood orange skies, sometimes finding it difficult to breathe. The generation who won’t take shit from nobody. The generation who got President Trump hiding in his bunker. The generation who will fight for what they fucking believe in, because there is no other choice. We are the generation of 2020.
