"It's still funny," Peter says. "You can't be that profound about anything as realistic as Beavis and Butthead."
To the Beavis Generation's way of thinking, my friends and I are hopeless saps. We twentysomethings, overindulged products of the late 60s and early 70s (when the birth rate sagged) are far too weighted down by the powerful and populous Baby Boomer Generation.
Twentysomethings have ideals (though they're wearing fast), while members of the Beavis Generation have rejected ideals as impractical. Twentysomethings worry about the deficit and the economy, while Beavites just accept that the country is headed down the toilet.
Some twentysomethings, Beavis Generationers mutter under their breath, listen to--and enjoy--their parents' music. The Beav of the 90s would never give Mommy or Daddy the satisfaction.
"Beavis and Butthead" isn't going to usher civilization back to a new Dark Age, and it isn't going to corrupt the young. The young are corrupted already, and they know it.
