"The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behavior and dress." (Republic, Book 4; Plato)
I mean, sometimes I start to agree with the general gist of what you've just said, but then I recall that quote. It really makes a mockery of us old fogeys.
