Blog #3- Pearl Jam

Does Pearl Jam represent the values of my generation? I think in some cases yes, but not in mine. I think that Pearl Jam can be a little depressing or a little to intense. I think that our generation is a very emotional one, and for people that fit that description, Pearl Jam does represent our generation. It fit the generation that it came out in, the 1990's, much better. That was the beginning of grundge rock and most teenager's minds and morals went along with the music they listened to, whether it be Pearl Jam, or Nirvana, or Red Hot Chilli Peppers, etc.

Our Generation

Technology. Technology is our generation's claim to fame. The birth of the internet, music playing devices, video games, televisions, and basically anything else that our generation can use easily that our grandparents cant even turn on, is ours. It is ours because no generation before has accomplished what ours has in the technology department. It is becoming easier and easier to use more complicated computer programs, just because we were brought up with it. It is becoming harder and harder for older generations to use these pieces of technology, because technology is advancing, and older generations aren't. Granted, there are exceptions to this, there will always be the old man with the ipod or the grandmother with the youtube video, but that happens in every generation. The older generation will try to stay "hip" and act like the younger generation.
