depends, really. judging by the majority of individuals in that age bracket, we are either blessed with something interesting, or doomed for utter destruction. so far, i'm leaning towards the latter.

And what might that revolution be? I don't think there is any revolution happening besides technology and perhaps a big change in world powers.

Why must we always label the present pased on the past. The present is a unique moment in time. The 60's had a role in shaping it but there will never be another 60's, just like there will never be another 2010's.

Younger generations seem to be becoming more liberal and less religious/conservative to me. But only time can tell.

As I am 18 with a 16 year old sister I can assure you that no revolution like the one that occured in the 60s is going to happen.
Unless the youth begin to use social networking to spread information and awareness instead of using it to advertise and promote their identities.
There is hope though
if music like mgmt is embraced instead of the hardcore, metal, screamo shit which not only promotes violence at shows but also fucking sucks

I'm gonna disagree with that for the moment, but I'd like to hear you expand more so i can get a better idea of what you mean by that.
The past 11 or so years have just been one "crisis" after another. It seems like every group is in some sort of revolution. Tough to say.

I wasn't speaking in a political sense. I meant that they are becoming more open-minded that a lot of things they have been fed their entire lives may just be bullshit.
I think that's good.

Something will happen, we just won't be prepared for it and no one will see it coming. For better or worst.

Somethings just gonna happen?
Aint nothing gonna happen but the growth and spread of conflicts around the world, unless people start educating themselves on logic and our current situation, Stop being so utterly infatuated with there identities and stupid dramas and stop being such consumerists pigs.

You don't think the spread of conflicts around the world will lead to a revolution?
