Goths in Tomorrowland

The Goths in Tomorrowland just talks about kids finding their own identity. I think all adults basicly view teens as a whole. They see all social groups as the same everywhere. When in reality at one place jokes might be the druggies while at another school the goths are the druggies. It just all really depends on where you are from and who gets into what. I think the same kind of groups we have now where there when our parents were teen. The groups just changed just enough to the point where parents can't relate to them anymore. I really don't think our parents view us as dumb. I just think that they remember what they did as teens. At the time they thought what they did was so much fun. Now that they look back they see what the alternative could of been. All parents are trying to do is protect us from that alternative. I like the end statement of the essay. "Young people are caught in a paradox. They drive themselves to extremes to create space in which to be themselves. Yet the commercial machine they think they're escaping is always on their back, ready to sell then something new." I don't know why I liked it. I guess its just because it is true.
