Not that I would ever condone violence of any kind, but the message I saw on a t-shirt made me wonder at what point popular youth culture willingly embraced all the things my generation were critical of our parents generation for. Materialism and misogyny to name but two are things I'd have ranted about as a teenager ("..it's all the fault of the bread-heads"!) but they are now considered essential attitudes by many youngsters. I pray my kids never buy into any of this - after all, it's NOT about the Benjamins.....I'd like to blame it all on the insidious and pervasive effects of Thatcherism but I think it maybe runs a bit deeper than that.
