Obviously it means that they grow up and never like anything they did when they were younger.

Personally, I hate that line of thinking. What does "growing up" actually mean to these people? You go out clubbing, drinking, and generally not doing anything that includes "childish" fun, I guess? It's like they don't comprehend that they have people over the age of 5 who make Sesame Street and others over the age of 15 who make video games. You can't make things like that if you lose the sense of what made you happy growing up.

Here's a nice little life tip for everyone: you don't hit a magical age and start hating things you liked doing as a kid. This includes video games, reading, and even building things out of Lego. Growing up doesn't have to include dropping everything in favour of "adult" entertainment.

I noticed a trend of this mentality among middle school age kids; to prove they've matured, they express hatred toward things they liked as a kid- they aim to show they've become more sophisticated and serious than that, but it only comes off as condescending.

I mean look at pokemon- I've seen just as many people at college play it as I have in elementary, but if you so much as brought it up in conversation in 7th grade, the whole class'll laugh at you like you just said teletubbies is a very thought-provoking show.

"growing up" as a phrase seems awfully negative too, as if you arent mature unless you stop liking something that interests you

growing out of it is one thing but telling someone you hope they grow up eventually is like ??? why cant they be grown as people and still like what they like? i agree with you.
