I read an article a little while back that touched on this. Basically that this generation doesn't really have much to rebel against: our parents and grandparents are former hippies -- or at least don't call us ***gots when we grow out our hair -- we have more technology and consumer products to keep us from concentrating on railing against a system that's more uninspiring than it is repressive, the crazy decades -- from the Depression, to WWII, to Civil Rights and the hippy counterculture, to Vietnam, and all through the Cold War -- are kind of over and our culture is just kind of coasting along on a sea of laziness and indifference.
And so you have kids who are just as happy listening to Led Zeppelin as Lil' Wayne, cause it's not like their parents are these ogres who need to be vilified. TBH, our parents are boring in their casual liberalness. So why not listen to AC/DC and rediscover post-punk?
