I love that you asked this question, I was actually thinking about it myself earlier this morning. Why is it that the children of the "baby boomers" seem to feel some sort of entitlement. Granted, I too am in that category (child of a baby boomer), but I would like to think I don't have that same sense of entitlement as my peers. I think perhaps today's youth culture is both a product of modern society mixed with the strong understanding that the world is at our feet. Perhaps this is the result of a hippie generation having children in a society where every voice seems to matter?

Being 16 myself, I believe that I can answer this with accuracy.
I strongly believe that youth culture has a direct correlation to the "sheep-mind" that I have discovered in today's teens (and all humans, really). If a lot of people are doing something and like it, one may believe that this activity or lifestyle makes someone "cool", and, always wanting to be cool, teens then partake in these activities.

Is it any worse (in comparison to the "adult" culture) than the 1960's? In fact, in Russia in the 1860's, there was a serious generation gap, with a youth culture that was nihilistic and held "society" in contempt.
Same old, same old.

I admire our youth...we have offered them a failing educational system without even offering an apology....but they stay cuttting edge irregardless...Diversity is a not even an issue to them, even appearence or sexual preference...Modern society shows them what NOT to do and they are getting that very clearly
