Generations

A generation isn't the time from when one is born to another, perhaps it used to be, but surely now a generation is a group of people who grew up with the same children's shows, same toys, same music and fashions. A generation in this sense forms within a gap of four or five years.

Mine starts somewhere after Vilse i pannkakan and ends somewhere before Dawson's creek. I'm quite glad I could see the irony of Barbie girl while it was a hit, not quite so content with the fact that I for a brief period listened to Lili & Sussi. I was a child, please forgive my ignorance. My little ponies, Care bears, remember when summer lasted forever?

My time was somewhere in the mid 90's, perhaps early 90's, that's where I shaped my tastes the most. I was still young and impressionable. So yes, I wore big shoes and knitted sweaters at times. Bright colours at others. It was Radiohead, Oasis, Blur and Nirvana. Remember My so called life? Remember portable CD-players? Remember those days on the train with stained seats and trees rushing by taking you far into the heart of dakness?

How does a generation with themesongs titled Loser and Creep ever make it?
