‘Adolescence’ and family trips in the back seat without belt or tablets

Or perhaps all this is absurd, a feeling of the ‘millennial’, that generation that for some thinkers is nothing more than the one that continued to pave the path of the ‘boomers’. But oh! The Z, there the bankruptcy is total. A 35 -year -old person is closer to one of 60 than from one of 18. There are no communicating vessels, the idols of some are anonymous to others, the stars arise from unsuspected places, the media find out less than what happens in the streets than the parents of the adolescents. And yes, there was always the feeling that the new, the young, was born to change everything and no adult understood how it had happened: rock, punk or electronics in music; The new waves, the Indies after in the cinema; the ‘Fanzines‘, the first chats of the protointernet in the ways of communicating … but in the end the system absorbed all the countercultural, everything that arose to the banks of the’ establishment ‘: A grammy of honor in The Clash showcaseSpike reads insulting Hollywood from the first row of Madison Square Garden and the ‘New Musical Express’ promoting the last series of the Jeff Bezos Corporation.

Or maybe everything is absurd, the feeling of who suddenly crosses the rebeca and adjusts the glasses to look with non -ironic distance to anything that comes from the zthat generation raised in the Internet networks and matured in a confinement that closed the doors of family houses and opened windows to web pages where the incomprehensible world was explained in a very simple way, according to the ideological taste of each one.

Misunderstanding

The circular thoughts that are born from the approach to ‘adolescence’, the fashion series that has made Netflix recover a prestigious brizna among so much algorithmic series, invite a rapid definition of today’s kids. Also of their parents. Closed doors, incommunication, Andrew Tate as an example of masculinity, generation ‘Take on me‘And you have to spell the name of the group. A-ha sounds and everything seems to go well. The generational crack closes. The girl discovers that her parents were young through her songs and the world makes sense at least for a second.

A ‘millennial’ discovered Tarantino on the TV of the hall where the grandfather watched John Ford at the time of the nap or the ‘toombola’ at night. In the cars, if the family was right, the cassette of Julio Iglesias or Luis Eduardo Aute was put if they voted for Felipe González. The teenager, without belt or escape, endured in the back seat with the promise of being able to put the Disney movie that everyone else would see later. A common culture, without the need for cultural rights law. Now children’s chairs have four anchors, and helmets, noise cancellation so that a single adult reference is not filtered. It is not to fall into nostalgia, as he did Borja Cobeaga in ‘I don’t like driving’where the old car of the father, the one that for years took dust in the garage, made the forty of Juan Diego Botto a kind of lost confidence.

There has never been a adolescence without risks: on the Internet now, in the urban tribes before, in the syringes of the parks further back … and so on the adolescence the second exact in which the children became adults suddenly lasted to get to work. The cinema has had extreme precision throughout its 130 years of life and now the series extend it for parents scared before the reflection of the screen. The important thing, in reality, is that culture serves to upload those cracks. To show, after all, how blind we are when we want to become deaf and stop hearing our children by putting a screen in their hands.
