Today’s Teens: The Generation We’ve Totally Annoyed | The American Spectator

One of the great thrills of adolescence is that you start liking girls. And they, in turn, like boys. But this generation has been taught in school, in the media, and in movies that men are potential rapists, and that men can become women if they want — therefore, if anything can be a woman, then women have essentially ceased to exist. This is tragic for them, but also for teenage boys dreaming of falling in love with a girl.

Another thrill of adolescence is blasting music at full volume, taking a swig of whiskey, and flooring it in the loudest car Dad has in the garage. But this generation has been told that noisy cars are destroying the planet, and that they should only drive that electric contraption on wheels that hums so quietly it’s barely audible — and it’s about as exciting as a tax audit. (RELATED: An Automotive Atrocity)

Adolescence used to be a time for discovering the value of friendship. You’d spend hours talking with your friends, and for the first time, you’d discuss “real” problems: unrequited love, the meaning of life, a family issue with your parents, or the professional consequences of bad grades. Those heartfelt conversations rarely happen anymore, because the cultural hurricane of AI has become the ultimate oracle, and it’s no longer necessary to hash out sensitive topics face-to-face with a friend.

Girls have been bombarded with “Butler-esque” feminist messages, as if there were only one way to be a woman: independent, traveling through life alone, with nothing but a cat and a bottle of wine for company. And 15-year-old boys have been constantly told that women have suffered centuries of discrimination because of them — as if it were fair to blame a teenager in 2025 for the state of the world in the 19th century. (RELATED: Conservative Success Is Tied to Protecting Women and Emboldening Men)

In one of the most unexpected twists of this madness, pretty girls have come to be seen as suspect, while women with obvious pathological obesity are celebrated as aesthetic role models. Fashion catalogs are now filled with girls and boys whose main virtue is their supposed androgyny. (RELATED: ’90s Heroin Chic Is Back … For Boys)

From climate change to multiculturalism, I’m convinced that today’s teenagers have been fed the biggest propaganda blitz in history — the heaviest dose of indoctrination ever aimed at any generation — trying to shape and control every aspect of their lives: from sexuality to what’s considered acceptable to say in public, from children’s shows to the editorials of major newspapers, from cancel culture on social media to the blasted promotions of fast-food chains, from school to all government-controlled institutions.

They are the bored generation. Bored with not being able to think for themselves. Bored of having their childhood stolen. Tired of the fact that, no matter what they do, some progressive will always point a finger and say, “You’re doing it wrong!” And tired of having to swallow messages on a burger wrapper preaching environmental slogans, or having their food wrapped in a rainbow flag with a barely-subtle message.

When I stop to consider the massive amount of nagging and indoctrination today’s youth have been subjected to since early childhood, it’s even funnier that the politicians who allowed this to happen in the West don’t understand why teenagers might openly declare themselves right-wing and radically opposed to all this ideological garbage. It’s not just that they disagree with you — it’s that they’re fed the hell up with you.
