I don't agree with that at all. It may have been the case in the sixties, or during punk, but currently, youth culture seems obsessed with the past. Certainly more than when I was in my late teens, early 20s. This new generation have information on tap. The rise of CDs has led to a massive process of reissueing old 'classics.' Old records when I was a teen was largely the preserve of dusty old vinyl collectors. Now anyone with a few quid/bucks/yen can get the complete works of Robert Johnson, ffs - delivered to their door. I wonder how many people in their teens and early 20s had even HEARD of Robert Johnson, let alone listened to him, in the 80s.
