CLICK ON THIS LINK. IF NOT NOW, DO IT LATER. It's really awesome and if your parents are there, don't worry, because it's not a rude thing. It's called Lost Generation and it's a reversible poem.

If you hate it, you never have to watch it, but I am 99.77% sure you will love it or at least think it's cool).
