The two generations have many strengths and weaknesses. When I think of the generation gap I laugh because I would never imagine myself in the accepted population, I’d be a hippie. I would be a hippie because I believe that all humans can be equal (but I do not agree with gays) and if an adult wants to do drugs and listen to Jimmie then so be it. Yet I am a true 90’s kid and love Nickelback, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Boys 2 Men. I can't imagine growing up in a whole different world than I did.
Lets talk about the 1960’s. It is where women either wore knee high dresses and beehive hair or bell bottoms and afros. That decade was full of diversity and acceptance I don't get how the world today is …show more content…
This was the decade of my birth (thank the Lord). The 90’s was full of the growing, selling, and trafficking of drugs and other paranifilia.

Oh so one more thing my generation did illegally, GET TATTOOS! Yay for us, we are the generation of rebels. We should feel proud, NOT! This generation has sparked a flame of a careless attitude, complete chaos in the cities, and doing whatever the hell you want. So much has changed already is the thirty years before then and now almost 20 years later the world has just evolved even more.
Pop culture over the past almost 60 years is crazy! The clothes go from conservative to literally women have almost no clothing on! Music changed from “peace love and freedom” to the hit “Butterfly” by Crazy Town. If only you could see the difference in people and how they look, from rainbows and peace signs to peircings and tattoos and wild hair. Now in the New Millennium it's a mixture of the past pop cultures. Does history repeat itself? I think so. I would love to take a trip down memory lane to my childhood, the 1990’s treated me right. Long live the Dixie
