Meet the Beavis Generation.
My younger brother Peter, 16, is an elder statesman of the Beavis Generation. He does a reasonably good impression of the Beavis and Butthead snicker, and uses various Beavis and Butthead comments.
"I still think it's funny," says Peter, recounting great Beavis and Butthead episodes. He particularly likes the animal cruelty (the time they played baseball using frogs instead of balls, the myriad things they do to grasshoppers).
Of course, as a member of the Beavis Generation, Peter isn't dumb and his mind isn't numbed. Like most other American children his age, he's just a cynic. So are most of his classmates at the local high school. About half of local high schoolers religiously follow...
Peter knows the show is a sad commentary on the state of today's teenager. But the Beavis Generation is beyond expressing sentiment. It's powerless to do anything but laugh at itself.
