Yes, Jordan, you are right. It is just different decades and different trends.

I quite liked this but

You're absolutely right. But.... even if "whatever youth's experiencing" is not so terribly new, maybe... there's some benefit in their thinking that it is. Believing so, maybe, let's them take one step beyond where prior generations stopped. And maybe, in that new place - they can discover something new and wonderful for all of us.

Hopelessly optimistic,
SNM

Editor's note:

You are quite correct in what you've said SNM. It is the writer's point of view that the problem is with the adults rather than the youth. The poem is aimed at the adults; the youth require support.
