Generation of thieves

I like the 80s and the 50s and the 60s. I really do.
I don't like the 70s.
But although I'm not into the 70s I think they're much better than the 90s and the years after the millennium.
I've to admit the colors of the 70s were terrible but at least the 70s had colors and I can't affirm that about the latest years.
The colors of the second millennium are snitched and so are cuts. Seems like we've ran out of ideas - not only in fashion but also in political attitudes and art.
Our generation hasn't made up a single thing itself at all. Rather we took a step aback. With us electing conservative partys and being conservative ourselves certainly it is impossible to take a step forward, to be innovative.
I don't affirm everyone of our generation is like that, but in my opinion many of us are like that. It's common practice to sit around drinking alcohol, smoking weed and to wallow in the "none taken" attitude.
We're just boring - future generations won't remember us.
But I'm not in the position to attach blame - I'm also part of this "non-movement". I'm perhaps a little bit more interested than the most of us - but not enough to take blame on you.
And so there's me taking part in being a filcher and getting angry if someone advises me of my loss of interest.
Yeah, I am ashamed but that doesn't help a change - perhaps I'm not ashamed enough, perhaps I'm much more lacy than I thoght.
But I'm trying. I'm seeking for those awkward conversations, looking for people who confront me with my goof-ups. I pretty hate this conversations I even get very angry and get loud with my conversation-partners. But after that when I'm sitting alone on the sofa  the experience works on me.
And in this moments I'm taking a tiny step forward and changes my behavior - just a little bit - but at least it changes.
And perhaps just perhaps, if enough of us do such things sometimes, we will be able to hoist the flag - not a foreign flag but our own.
