The people who soldiers sacrifice their lives for so that future generations may prosper. They tend whine and complain about the smallest inconvience, breakdown under the most minimal pressures, and get in the way of falling ordinance.
Sgt: We need to evacuate that city before enemy forces arrive.
GI: Can't, the civilians don't want to, their watching TV.
Sgt: Bomb everything, lets go.
1)A term used to describe an overhyped fad. 2)A word used to describe an exhausted genre. 3)A phrase used to describe the end result of poor musicians, who are even worse lyricists, composing a horrendously sounding 1 to 2.5 minute song that is hailed by the bourgeoisie, not because of any inherent greatness in compostion or artistic value, but because it provides catharsis in a boring materialistic non-spiritual society. Most 'great' rock ideas have been stolen from blues, gospel, and jazz artists who labored with genuine passion to produce something complex, original, and timeless.
Johnny: Hey those black people have a good musical idea.
David: Let's repackage it and serve it to the middle class.
Johnny: We'll call it Rock N Roll
David: Yeah. Find someone with mediocre musical skills.
Johnny: We'll appeal to short sighted youth.
David: We'll be millionaires.
Johnny: We'll save the world.
David: Rock On.
Architect whose originality and style were overshadowed by his inflated view of self and tendency to create structures that leaked, were difficult to heat, and cracked. Embraced 'hypocritical humility' which is funny because he had nothing really to be arrogant about. The Unity Temple in Oak Park, like many of his works, looks like an upscale military barracks. He wasted alot of time avoiding the arch and pillar. Wright couldn't hold a candle to much better architects like Louis Sullivan or Daniel Burnham.
Jane: Hey what's that building over there?
Mark: It's a Borg complex. It was created by some guy named Frank Lloyd Wright.
Jane: Never heard of him.
An overhyped title that ended up on the used games shelf faster than a mcdonalds hamburger going stale. Managed to get kudos for cinematics, dual wielded weapons, and increased multiplayer action. Nothing memorable. If you payed full price you got juked.
Jack: Let's play Halo 2!!
Mike: OK!!
(8 hours later)
Jack: Wow, finished.
Mike: Let's trade it in for UT3
Jack: Sounds Great.
A tech savvy generation with the unfortunate distinction of being born after the Boomer generation and thus having to suffer through the worse childhood of any generation.
Generally, for those who survived being spoiled rotten or beaten by their parents, they became happy, outgoing, and very innovative. For those who had to fight their way out they became leaders, innovators, and strong willed.
Criticized for being slackers but surviving the boomer generation would take the energy and initiative out of anybody.
Anyone born between 1967 and 1981.
Joaquin Phoenix, Kurt Cobain, Marc Andreessen,
Alien beings born between 1946-1964. Sent here from Mars to bring us horrible music, food and culture. They fall into two categories a)Hippie Boomer b)Republican Boomer.(See below) Gave birth to Gen Xers and Y's. They are either desperately trying to hang onto their jobs or looking to retire and send boring emails to their kids.
Hippie Boomer- Smoked weed, did LSD, protested vietnam, usually anti-republican. Now running many corporations and holding most teaching positions in colleges and universities. Overated view of self and relevance to history. Drives an SUV or Volvo.
Republican Boomer- Hopes to preserve the 1950's against hippie boomer leftism. Generally mildly racist and the parent of at least one gay child. Tends to focus on money and politics more than art and music. Drives an SUV or pickup truck.
Mary: Hey, hows it going?
Julie: I found out my parents are Baby Boomers.
Mary: I'm so sorry.
A world filled with lazy, out of shape, undisciplined whiners who break down under the smallest of pressures and complain about everything the military does.
Sgt: Where are you headed soldier?
GI: I'm going home! Back to civilian life.
Sgt: Are you nuts? You'll die a miserable death.
