Well, I have to say that I like them better than I like, say, my grandmother's generation. But maybe thats because she's a little off.

In general, no.
But specific (groups of) people, absolutely.

Age/generation doesn't matter. There's cool people and there's assholes in every generation. I hate assholes, and I like cool people. Basically.

i dunno. it just has always seemed like our grandparents' generation has always been more level-headed.

I always feel as though I was born in the wrong generation.
I don't think we are very intelligent or inspired. There isn't much that is exciting in the future besides technology.
To be alive in the 50s when something like rock music was sweeping the country and people were truly exciting and happy about something, that would be great. Of course each time has had its troubles and its bad times, but I feel like we have very little to be excited about.

I "enjoy" our generation a heck of a lot more than I'd "enjoy" people my grandparents' age, in a manner of speaking.

I think our generation has a chance to change things and we're not acting on it.

I guess since we're all voice our opinion I'll go ahead and voice mine.
I very much love the times I live in, like extremely much. There has never been this much artistic, sexual, and overall freedom in America, I think a lot of people who live in our day and age take for granted these freedoms. I mean 50 years ago Tennessee Williams had to tip around the fact that his male lead in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was gay, now just look at Rent and there's no more constraint. We are free as artists. I mean I look at that and marvel at the way my generational artists will be able to touch people. It's exciting. For me progress is exciting.
A lot of my friends talk about wanting to go back to the 60's to live (this is mostly because a lot of them smoke a lot of weed), but they also say people were more inspired, classier, and more intelligent. However, I whole heartedly believe that some sacrifices have to be made (and this is in no way to say that I think we should sacrifice class and intelligence) in order to reach different levels of progress. The fact that we are able to talk to people instantaneously, on a whim, for free in libraries is absolutely incredible. I live in Florida and am responding to people all over the U.S. Those connections, while some may argue are mechanical, are still very human. Ideas are whizzing all over the world like never before.
Unfortunately, a lot of my generation (i.e. the people at my school [which I suppose I really shouldn't generalize as my entire generation]) are so obsessed with the material and think that this advance in technology is a way to disconnect from society and become like everyone else instead of interconnect and make yourself heard. That's sad, but people have to make that distinction for themselves, and I'm sure for most of the people on boards like these, that are so passionate about their artform and know that being an individual is so essential to their art don't face this problem.
I'm so excited by the prospect of living and things changing for the rest of my life. It's part naivety and part optimism, but it's very exciting at the same time.
Just my two cents :)

I think that it's more appropriate to look at Hair rather than Rent. I know that Hair isn't in our generation, but it's the musical that allowed Rent to be what it is.
