You missed the point. I'm not saying that the past is old and boring, or that teenagers even believe it is (not all of them do!). I'm saying that every generation produces outstanding media and art (somewhere among the clutter), and that it's ridiculous for older people or younger people to dismiss the art that does not belong to their generation.
You'll notice this is what I've been saying all along, so I don't think I've missed your point at all. Every generation indeed produces outstanding art!
Teenagers typically -- but not always -- focus on the present, disregarding both the past and the future (which we've both agreed is a symptom of lack of maturity). In fact, the word for teenager in Spanish is "adolescente", meaning "they who lack" (maturity, judgment).

I didn't say you did.
