I’ve found it.

I’ve finally found that line of demarcation between Generation X (My generation, natch) and the one that came after me. It’s rather obvious actually, once you see it.

I refer, of course, to MTV’s My Super Sweet 16.

If you haven’t heard of this show, the premise is simple. Take one teenage girl whose parents are filthy rich. Add one spoiled attitude combined with a MASSIVE sense of entitlement, throw in a few temper tantrums about “Daddy not paying enough to get Usher” as well as a couple hundred thousand in cash, mix it together with an MTV crew following around and you have “like, the best Sweet 16 party ever!”

Ask anyone above the age of 20 about this show, and they will rail against its very existence. Never mind that MTV sold out about a decade and a half ago when they stopped showing music videos. THIS is the last straw, damnit!

Now, go to any teenage girl below the age of 18 and you’ll hear quite the opposite. See, this show is everything that their life should be! I mean, like, shouldn’t mommy and daddy like, you know, do this anyway for them? I mean, it’s like… SO not fair that they can’t get two brand new cars for their 16th birthday and that they’re stuck with whatever crappy car they got instead. And God forbid, that it’s USED!!!

(By the by, if you haven’t guessed where I fall in the spectrum then make sure you start wearing diapers since you’re obviously too stupid to keep from shitting yourself.)

Me, I’m hoping that MTV is purposefully editing this to show it for what it really is: a spotlight showing how pathetic it is to be this bunch of spoiled little bitches who never had to want for anything, never had to suffer from mommy and daddy not giving them every little desire from their cold black little useless-as-fuck hearts, and never knew the pain of being (GASP!) middle class. That would be the only excuse for showing this tripe, other than as a warning spotlight for any potential suitor for these wastes of youth.

Oh, and if they’re not? If MTV isn’t intending for the irony to drip from this like water from an bad faucet?

Then that, my friends, is the true line in the sand for Generation X and Generation Y. We’ll just completely give up on hoping MTV can stop completely SUCKING ALL ASS, at that point.

Out.
