His generation vs. his parents’
“My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money. It’s ridiculous. In my parents’ generation, rebellion was pop culture. It’s not anymore. You can see it in something as simple as where their music was at and where ours is now. If you look at our Billboard Top 100, a lot of those songs on there are from Christian country artists. A lot of rappers, too, are very Christian. The fact that is even still talked about is kind of wild to me. I think my generation understands it, but they are too selfish to let it matter.” Says Shia LaBeouf

Greed as part of pop culture
“There’s no patriotism. There’s selfishness. It’s the movie Wall Street Pure selfishness, Greed is good, It really happened. People don’t look at that character, Gordon Gekko, and see an enemy. They look at him like they look at Scarface, a kind of role model. ‘Hell, yeah. That’s the guy! That’s the superman!’ Well, that’s our pop culture. That’s its values.” commented Shia LaBeouf Greed is good.
