The Angry Generation

We are faced with the confusing truth that statistically, it’s the best time to be alive, making it feel wrong, selfish even, to complain. But it doesn’t feel like the best time to be alive. And just because it’s never been better, shouldn’t mean this is the best it gets.

Every new generation gets labelled by the older ones, rarely is it positive. So why not, tongue-in-cheek, play into the classic trope of angry youth? This series explores some of the unique challenges that we face and why, perhaps, a little anger might be needed to address them.

Welcome to The Angry Generation, I hope you enjoy the Show!

  • Ep 9 Boys

    It’s hard to be a boy. Let me introduce you to three of them. One was my friend in primary school, another my friend from mini-rugby, the final being a student two years below me in secondary school. All three are dead, all three died from suicide. Whilst each and every suicide is devasting, I angry yet?

    Ep 8 Dublin’s Houses

    Dublin has no houses. I fucking hate it. Episode over. Everyone’s already angry. Done. Dusted. Quick and simple, unlike the construction of new homes. I don’t need to tell you to be angry about the housing shortage, I know you already are. Indeed, I’m one of the “lucky” ones to have a place to stay angry yet?

    Ep 7 No Phone, No Life

    In the blink of an eye, human connection has fundamentally changed. More often than not, our relationship to others is facilitated by a screen. Despite this, the discourse on healthy phone usage is so wide of the mark and the reality on the ground. We all know that things on the internet last forever, and angry yet?

    Ep 6 Energy

    I’m angry about energy, let me tell you why. As electricity production accounts for roughly 25-30% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to understand the state of play so that you may be anger too [1]. First and foremost, we must accept that the burning of fossil fuels for energy is a angry yet?

    Ep 5 Climate Change

    Climate change is a hot topic … literally. It’s fashionable to be sustainable, yet it’s never sustainable to be fashionable. Business schools and consultants are in love with MBAs and ESGs, but do they even know their ABCs about SDGs and GHGs. Climate change is arguably the one topic I’m at least slightly qualified to angry yet?

    Ep 4 Fuck Phones, simple

    Are phones are a force for good or bad in the world? How many times did you check your phone today? How long did you spend on it? When was the last time you didn’t use your phone for a day? When was the last time you sat through a whole movie without checking your angry yet?

    Ep 3 Habitual Nonsense

    We are imperfect, it’s just who we are. We are the choices we make, the systems we build. Unfortunately, we get lots of things wrong. Indeed, we are everything wrong with the world, but everything right with it too. We are irrational creatures, unaware of our own shortcomings, who can be easily manipulated. However, this angry yet?

    Ep 2 Work – Why Even Bother?

    When I grow up, I want to be a professional amateur sports player. That’s what I tell my parents anyway when they ask. The issue is, I’m 23 and apparently I need a job. But why? I don’t want to sit in a grubby, little office obeying a well-ironed suit all day. That sounds like angry yet?

    Ep 1 Intro

    It’s not often that we sit back and think about our lives. Are we happy? Satisfied? Angry? How much thought do we put into major decisions ⁠⁠⁠that affect our own lives? How about the decisions being made on our behalf that impact everyone, both living and those to come? Usually, not much. And it makes… angry yet?
