So Much More Than Just iPods...

Everyone knows what role iPods play in This Generation. The Apple iPod could be the sole image that describes our generation. It couples technology with personality, individualism, and style. But even though the iPod is a great definition of This Generation – we are much more than simply iPods.

People should not think of This Generation as simply iPods. It is actually the music that defines us. The reason why This Generation has fallen in love with the concept and structure of the iPod is because we are so intrinsically tied to our music. We each have our own personal musical style, and we want to be able to utilize and share that.

This Generation might be the most musical generation of all time. Previous generations did not have the capability of exploring and discovering their musical personality. Most generations were only privy to the music that could literally be played around them. One generation was lucky enough to have the radio. But there was not much flexibility with this forum. One generation was fortunate enough to have records. This allowed for more flexibility, but still it did not lean to much capability. One generation was even more fortunate to have eight tracks, tapes, and the initial stages of CDs. They were closer to the musical abilities that we have now, but there are still nowhere close to us.

This Generation has the most availability and capability to use, share, and enjoy music ever in the history of humankind. So it is not only the iPod that defines us, but it is our musical personality. We have the ability to form our own personal musical identities. And that is exactly what we do.

This Generation uses the iPod as a means of exhibiting their music personality. Everyone in This Generation has a unique musical personality. The iPod gives us a medium to store and express this musical personality. So remember to make this distinction: our generation is not simply defined by the iPod. Moreover, we are defined by our ability to have a musical personality – an ability made possibly by the iPod.


But, overall, we are a generation that develops our own personal musical personality.


This is our generation.
