I honestly believe it depends on where a person lives. Not all teenagers are selfish, yeah, some are, but you can't categorize an entire generation based on one high school in one state, in one country, on this one planet. It just doesn't work that way.
Seriously, I know tons of people who don't care about being "popular" or having the "coolest" clothes, where they may go for vacation or anything like that. Not everyone in this generation is so self-centered and so selfish. There are people who actually care about other things.
Also, I highly disagree with the last statement, but we all have our opinions. I love how everytime someone trashes an artist it's always Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga or anyone else from the "Top 40" when there are plenty of other artists who write and play extremely well. Just saying... My opinion.
Oh...if you want "good" music, stop looking at the top 40 list and radio play. There's plenty good music out there, you just have to put forth an effort to find it.
In my opinion, though, I think everyone's generation is like this. At the time, it may seem like the worst, but, in a way, it's hard to judge other generations. All you really know is what you read or hear from others; you weren't there like you are now.
It's good that you can separate yourself from them on that level though. It will help you in the long run. I know I had a lot more faith in this generation after I stopped seeing them every day.
