Doubtful, they're really after the almighty dollar, just like before.
Now for some reason they've decided that protesting things which were
basically 'safe' was a cool thing to do.  

These 80's kids remind me of the hippies of the 60's: I mean they got
bored of fighting for their ideals and decided to join the human race,
and they became the yuppies of today.  They all sold out pretty much to
the machinery, and in a big way.  It's kind of sad to see these thirty-plus 
year old cretins trying to defend their actions for becoming the way
they did.  

these 80's kids will protest and become active for while, then get bored
with it, and finish their education and become part of the machine they
think they despise.
