I'm a frustrated animator, the new generation of animators fucks me in all ways. I just don't know what to do now. I'm 25, no job and unmotivated.
How do I find a way to continue with my life?
get a real job

it is a real job you idiot
Stop pigeonholing yourself and try a different job for awhile. See if you really love animation and want to spend your life doing it, or if you just convinced yourself it was your dream and felt obligated to see it through.

if you didn't go to calarts and make enough connections to have your friends get you a job right out of college then you've no chance of ever making it now
find a new path

A real job that you don't seem to have lol.
Seek inspiration in the world. Travel, stay up late, seek someone out, seek yourself out. Inspiration is all around us, it is just how the eye perceives things to be. And, if this "new generation" of animations bothers you, then create your own generation. Anything you create, can create something new my friend.

Well, I'm trying.

Yup, I just don't enjoy animation anymore but I don't know to do anything else.

I agree, the internet is the only way to make a living with animation (No calarts degree)

Thank you! That's been working for me, but the inspiration is different to motivation.

Retrain as a web designer.
It's not hard to learn html, and css.
You can get a job as a frontend designer just knowing those, then you can move onto javascript, and jquery.
Here are some examples of standalone frontends

Software Developers typically hate doing frontend stuff, so you'd be a welcome addition to any serious software company.
