I thought...how do you know about the crazy orgies?? I thought was just a local new. It's true, teens are getting crazy. They meet in parks to drink hard cheap alcohol smoke pots and kiss, touch and suck whoever is around. They are divided in diverse urban tribes usually associated with japanimations as pokemon or others, and they look like Japanese cartoons. <BR/>My explanation is more political and sociological than based in economics, and could be as bias as Hillary’s memories. We have the fu..ing Pinochet until 1990, 17 years of repression and lack of liberties. My parent’s generation had no parties, social activities or crazy artistic movements. With the return of the democracy, we have freedom and libertinage, something similar to what happen in Spain after Franco (if not, ask Almodovar). But, I would call my generation “bohemians”, in the sense that we lived the last times of the dictatorship and that was too close to us that we know the value of freedom. We drink and go crazy, but also care about society (sounds a justification, but the blog is free writing!). <BR/>But for the new generation, this is history, and all they know is about the consumerist and selfish new society created with the “Chilean economic miracle”. As a response they are nihilist, they prefer to alienate than to go shopping or stay at home waiting for a parents that work too much to take care of them. I’m afraid of this phenomenon, we are becoming a bit gringos in that sense. But the good thing is that also there is a cultural explosion, in music, art, cooking, ideas, internationalization, etc. With democracy, globalization and the supposedly economic success society is getting complex…….
