2. In what way does it want to 'destroy' the past? And if anything, I'd like it a lot more if it at least tried to. The past is OK, but no place to live in.

youth cukture was CREATED with elvis and buddy holly and bill haley and little richard and CHUCK BERRY
before the 1950's there was NO YOUTH CULTURE. there was just the new, the avant garde, the cutting edge and anyone, from 10 to 90 was invited to partake.
Hip Hop, Raves, techno, punk, hardcore, noise, METAL, hippies, beatniks, etc. were all soaked up by corporate concerns AFTER their creation and fermentation. sure someone sold and pressed the records, but not until the old farts saw that kids are willing to buy new stuff does any corporate people ever care.
the hippies tried to destroy the status quo (the past). the punks tried to destroy the status quo, the hardcore kids tried to destroy the status quo, the alternative indie scene of the 80's tried to destroy the status quo, The hip hop phenomenon of the 80s also, the post-rock scene of the past 8 years has tried to destroy the status quo.
the new becomes the status quo, by trying to destroy it thereby setting itself up to be destroyed by the next thing to come out of the inventive youth.
