Why is there a generational gap?
It’s not because kids today are lazy.
It’s not because they’re different.
It’s because they don’t speak the same language.
Language changes — not all at once, but slowly, subtly.
You see it in writing, in speech, on TV.
Watch an old movie and you’ll feel it immediately.
The words are the same,
but the language is completely different.
Different slang. Different rhythms. Different meanings.
And that’s where the tension comes from.
Older generations get offended by it — always offended.
But that’s the real problem:
when one generation wants to be heard,
and the other just wants to be respected.
That’s your generational gap right there.
It’s the ones who know how to bridge that gap —
the teachers, the mentors, the coaches —
who evolve with the language.
How could they not?
It lives and breathes in every child that passes through.
That’s why the teacher raps, jokes, and isn’t afraid to be silly.
It’s not a gimmick.
Or maybe it is — and that’s the point.
Bridging the gap takes effort.
It takes flexible people —
people willing to be bold,
to entertain,
to play the clown,
and to listen.
To take the next generation seriously,
even when we don’t speak the same language.
But look — things aren’t always going to be this way.
As information travels faster,
as our tools make communication clearer,
we’re learning to translate each other.
And if we can do that —
and there’s love in between —
then this is the world I see.
If you don’t see it yet, I can help you.
Sure, I mean — who’s gonna find the words if not me?
But if you still don’t see what I see…
I feel sorry for you.
I want to say, “Everything’s okay.
Come with me.”
But if not —
fuck it.
You stupid bitch.
Don’t like it?
