"It’s a bit scary when you consider that these two generations – less the Y and more the Millennials – are people who are basically born and living in a time of Excess and Want and Instant Gratification. All these people under 25, I think they’ve forgotten what it’s like to just wait for things. They don’t need to listen to whole albums anymore just to get to that one song that they like. They don’t need to wait an entire two years to know just what Twin Peaks was all about. They don’t need to go to the library and rush through its shelves looking for reference materials. They don’t need to work for money to buy the entire Invisibles catalog to read it. Whatever they want, they get instantly, because everything’s just available. It’s all relatively scary because things like Patience are endangered concepts, replaced by things like Entitlement, a slightly more sedate version of greed only often just as malignant and now often just as prevalent. And I’m not being an old man about this, I’m not suffering from future shock in advance, I love Technology and Progress and Change, but it’s just true, we already have an entire generation made up mainly of brats, in every sense of the word, and there’s always just something to be said for Patience."
