I think the dynamic between the “adult” culture and the “teen/youth” permanently changed for the worse around the end of WWII.
Once young people became a major source of income for business, all bets were off.
The so-called “greatest generation” screwed things up.
Once the public school system was fully infiltrated with communists, all bets were really off.
It took several generations, but mission accomplished. Without a shot fired.
Thank God for President Trump.
And each generation gets worse. So comparing every other or third or fourth generation is telling.
