The problem with anything that celebrates youth and youth culture is that everyone who made it and identifies with it will get old (assuming they don't kill themselves or OD on heroin). Growing up, I'd hear music my parents' loved in the 60s and think "This is ancient history! It's so funny that these people sang about the power of young people and they are old now" and even as a teen, it made me skeptical of anything that tried to speak to me as a teen. Not because I felt I was wise beyond my years, but because it's hard to feel you invented being young and rebellious when your parents' generation got to point to rock and roll and civil rights and the Vietnam War and flower power and the big generation gap between them and their parents, and meanwhile nothing had happened to define Gen-Xers and older Millennials in quite the same way.

I can related to this comment on so many levels, as a late Gen Xer myself.

....Except that I never thought this song was speaking to me as a teen. It was speaking about all the other teens my age who were dumber than me, ha!

(But I was really the dumbest, in case it's not clear.)

ayrt

When I was a teen, I usually assumed things meant for teens were really meant for all the other teens because obviously these things were meant for cool people and the other teens clearly were cooler than I was.

[(Anonymous)]

You say that like being cool was an enviable thing or something?

Honestly I find it more depressing they still listen to that music, but completely forgot what it was about and let go of their ideals.

Everyone gets old (unless you die young, as you say), but in a way I feel growing up is a choice.

I think it's sort of in young people's nature to want to kick shins and change the world, but they're often not in the position to. And then once they would be in the position to, they're too settled to take risks.

I'm always surprised when I hear people from my parents' generations gripe about musicians getting politically involved, and being all, "Just shut up and sing and keep politics out of it."

Then they go and listen to CSNY or Bob Dylan or the Beatles or Creedence and so on. Ummmmm...

It honestly baffled me. I know people who were full-on hippie in '68 who became grumpy,bitter right-leaning people.

Yeah, my parents knew a lot of people like that, too, and they've found it equally confusing and frustrating.
