This thread was made in a whirl of alcohol and other things, but it is interesting to see how quickly fashions change. The 'ugly' thing stems from those awful 90s school videos, the ones warning you against alcohol, when all the kids are horifically realistic. Someone must know what I'm talking about.

This decade, as in the one we are living in now. The one with laser burning and a lack of offensive photos in magazines.

I think this thread is evidence that half of Newgrounds needs to die.

I was going to just ignore it and move on, but the sheer tedium of the conversation dragged me in, until I was drowning in a swirling vortex of drab discussion. I reached for the knife and felt that by cutting a vein out, I might just be able to pull myself free from the droning monotony of this thread but alas! my mental urge to live forsook me and the knife plunged from my hand into the abyss.

Why was everyone so fucking ugly?

That's right: you know what I'm talking about. All those TV images of ugly children with braces and bad skin in bad light, before thank god we learnt how to paper over the cracks and pretend like these things don't exist. You were ugly in the 90s. You fucking know it. You had a bad haircut (maybe greasy curtains) and an annoying voice. I was ugly then too. It was an ugly decade. For those of you born this decade, you're on Newgrounds at the age of nine so you must be heading towards 90s ugliness levels. 'Grats.

Tune in tomorrow, when I talk to you about 80s kids. Pricks with afros or bad earrings.

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Why don't you have sex with men? There's a reason all the science desks have 'feeling gay? call 078624 635761' on them.

Thank you for the begrudging congratulations. I'm doing English Lit, French, History, and Economics.

Also, I know you meant the 'easy' jibe as a joke, but that does remind me of something highly irritating. I know this should be a day for 'celebration', but some things do deserve getting grouchy over. The media always has to put a negative slant on everything. Exam results are getting better. Surely it would follow that teachers are becoming more creative or schools are becoming more organised or something else positive. But no. It has to mean that exams are getting easier, because to suggest otherwise would be to say that Satan-Worshipper-Elect Tony Blair did something right in his ten years of office, god forbid. I heard there was a Newsnight poll in which only 20% of people thought education had got better under New Labour. What other way is there to measure this apart from exam results, and exam results have improved every year. If they were getting worse, the newspapers would be pointing out how education has regressed. A lot of it also stems from bitterness. Many of the older generation are jealous of the opportunities that young people have nowadays and choose to blame the standard of exams instead of accepting that they will be better educated. I think generally younger people now are more enlightened.

Don't worry; I'm far too laid-back to be rich. I'm fully prepared to leave uni and shrink into a world of vanishing opportunity.

Yes, thank you. Some of the retardation around here must be toxic. The last year has been very Newgrounds-light for me though, not because of any concerted effort to 'do my studies', but just because it started losing appeal. I've probably only made about 1000 posts in that time. It would greatly surprise me if people could stay on here for four/five years + without taking a break somewhere along the line.

Are wet dreams actually when you wank in bed? Haha, that must be so jokes. I thought it was just involuntary mental arousal from your dream that caused you to shoot. I'm so glad I've never had to deal with that. Just one of the awkward things I won't ever have to speak to the parents about.

Summer's not the time to see busy resorts and theme parks like that. Every 'mom', dad, and 2.4 children will be there soaking up the summer holidays, as well as the searing summer heat. Florida's got nice enough weather that you could probably go any time and still get sun, but April and October are perfect. It's like all those resorts in California and the Med: in summer they get absolutely packed and you can't even get an arm free to smack the kid who's dripping ice cream on your shoe. It's usually too hot in the middle of the day anyway. Therefore, avoiding the heat, hassle and hoy paloy becomes a lot easier in the off-season.

Unless you can't get time off work then, in which case ha ha.

I was eleven and it was on my best friend's sofa, which is kind of weird and something I regret. She was a bit of a slut and expressed great surprise when I told her that was my first kiss (at 11!). We'd probably have taken it further if I'd had the inclination, but I was still fairly innocent. Also, I think she gave me headlice, which was fun.

Or she could be used for serious news purposes too. She could read Osama's 'I'm Still Alive' videos for him. I may not like her, but let's face it: the news of impending tragedy would sound much better coming from her luscious lips.

I think it's become a lot more focused and money-oriented since then. These industry folks know where the money is and they exploit it. I don't mind love songs so much - I think it's a good subject for a song. Usually, singers are commemorating and celebrating it rather than exploiting and promoting it. The teen culture directs a heavily concentrated mass of messages encouraging teenagers that falling in love is the thing to do. It also still doesn't answer my point about these portrayals lacking realism and being unsuitably fanciful.

On a basic level, nothing. But these magazines and films commercialise it - make it seem fashionable and almost expected. Young girls will think that every boy's a perfect prince, and that they'll fall in love and everything will be perfect. They read magazine articles about how love is everything and they want to fall in love, unaware of the consequences. ie. the inevitable heartbreak. Also, in the case of most teenager's it's simply not an honest representation. It's not as if it's just boys either. Many, many teenage girls are also in it for the 'chase'. That links back to my point of instilling a bit of reality into their shows.

So, so true. Did you see Jonathan Ross' interview with Miley Cyrus? She was shamelessly self-promoting. She made a programme that's supposed to be light, humorous Friday night entertainment an advert for her film. At least when other actors go on to promote their films, they're a bit subtle and charming about it.

That's probably a large part of it. The American middle class seems to be very powerful, and middle class girls with rich fathers tend to be spoilt. I do think though their teenagers are more into this. Maybe it's the 21 drinking thing that stops them from realising how lame - I used an Americanism - it all is.

What about these kids who discover a game and in some bizarre way the game is MAGIC?! There are laughs to be had, important lessons to be learnt and most of all some commercial-friendly one-liners. Go on, I challenge you to make that good.

Really? So something like this is real hot material for you?

Now I understand that since this is Newgrounds most of you are probably pretty counter-culture and agree with me, but what the fuck is up with your teen culture?! I know first-hand that American teens aren't exactly prudes, yet every piece of media (except Newgrounds) has been triple-distilled until it's all fluffy bunnies and butterfly kisses.

While I was over there, there were those Teen Award things. These are a big deal. There were some massive names featured, so I know there must be a lot of money in this. People like Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus are at the forefront, and it can't just be stupid 12 year old girls because those films make millions. What irritates me is how innocent they are. I wonder if Zac Efron really sits with a girl for an hour just for a kiss, or whether Miley Cyrus is truly conflicted about making so much money. All these films have very firm moral compasses, and the good guys always win against insurmountable odds. The girls' magazines (I saw them on the rack!) are awful too, all about 'falling in love'. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You're a teenager in the western world, not a princess with a pumpkin. I'm guessing this is an offshoot of the 'complaints culture', and how zealous parents try to protect their young from the real world. In my opinion, it would be much more beneficial to give them a blast of reality.

Well, nearly finished. For someone who comes from Britain, it seems odd to even have a teen industry so big. Media folks here must think there's not as much money to be made from our teenagers. The closest thing we have to 'teen media' is Skins (which is SHIT) and the Inbetweeners. As a teenager, that was one of the most noticeable cultural differences.

I like that everyone has a different accent; it grants them a sense of belonging in the place they come from. A rosette of inclusion, if you will. I'd never judge someone on their accent and if everyone sounds the same in an area I'd find it interesting to have a new voice. Redneck accents are kind of cool anyway, as long as they're not spouting shit.

Of course, being from the south of England when I go to North America everyone is inevitably reminded of Hugh Grant. So I play to it and drop a plate in a bumbling manner or accidently have sex with a prostitute.

Yes I saw on the forecast. Our 'barbecue summer' has rather turned into a monsoon, so I suppose it might be nice to get away from the rain. I'm just about to leave now so farewell. I'm being harrassed as I type so I can't explain too much about last night, but thanks for not killing me. Bye now, see you soon hopefully (unlikely but hey).
