It's the nature of teenagers to be cynical and dislike anything people older than them do. There's nothing noteworthy about it.

- elevatedastalt 2y agoI never said that teens are idiots. I said they are rebels. 20 years ago being a rebel meant having a GMail account instead of a hotmail or aol account. Today it means not having a GMail account.
- anigbrowl 2y agoI didn't say you did. Teens are natural rebels, but they don't reflexively rebel against anything, they have preferences and will enthusiastically get behind things they like. People are not one dimensional, they can seek novelty for orthogonal reasons to any rebellion they might have going on.
