Cake Farts, Muffins, Shoes, Two Girls; One Cup, Leave Britney Alone!
YouTube has created it's own generation: one that has been broadcasted all over the internet. We (because I'm part of this generation as well) identify with these videos. They join our conversations as events that all of our peers witnessed as well.
Where the sixties and seventies had Woodstock--the defining moment for the era, we have YouTube and all the moments that come with it.
Everyone knows somebody who had a video on YouTube. My best friend had to do a contest that circulated around YouTube to win a scholarship: person with the most views/comments gets two thousand dollars to go to school.
There were even YouTube awards!
Our generations defining moments can be viewed over and over--unlike any one in the past. They're record. In history. Our children can look back and go "that's disgusting" just like we did the first time.
