I was browsing the Philippine Daily Inquirer yesterday and I found this spread (Super) with pictures of the PBB teen housemates minus Clare posed as caricatures of ‘this generation’. [EDIT] I’m not a PBB fan. [/EDIT] No, they were not the ones who caught my attention, it were the words “Teendependence day”.
Actually, there was only one article inside the spread titled “Drugs. Sex. Sloth. Please.” and here is the lead:
We decided to do a spread on what a lot of people say our generation is — apathetic, sex-crazy, media-obsessed, religionless drugies with parental issues and mondo insecurity.
Why? Because we can.

And after a few more paragraphs…
We decided to do a spread what a lot of people say our generation is because we realize a lot of you read us to find out what’s cool and we need to tell you shouldn’t be doing that.
Because it’s never been about going with the flow and fitting in. It’s not about what’s in and out. It’s not about what you’ve tried and what you haven’t. We’re the ME generation — it’s about creating our own flows.
It’s about creating your own cool.
