I don’t watch Pretty Little Liars
Don’t listen to Taylor Swift
I don’t speak in hashtags
And I abhor duck lips.
Never once tweeted
And Facebook is no friend.
Who the hell plays Farmville?
I never got the trend.
I am not a Directioner
As for members, I can’t name one.
I detest YOLO and swag
And Instagram’s not fun.
I’m an old soul, I was born too late
2012 is a generation I've begun to hate.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
