None of those are significant, compared to the epicness of past generations and how they raised the bar for music, art, and popular culture. Our generation doesn't do shit besides get high off prescription drugs, cutting themselves with razors, steal and post about illegal shit on their Facebooks, and sleep in and cause drama.

Defining moments in history are usually cataloged in times of war or extreme poverty or even great political tension. Remake the list with those moments captured in our lifetime and then we can go into a list of generation events of our generation.

There can only be two outcomes to your post. Either everyone will look over your comment or post replies to that comment flaming you and practically derailing this thread.

Most of that list wont last to be remembered.

Obama, Social Networking, 9-11, and pirating music is the most I can come up with.

I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they would greet me with cries of hate.
