I think missed the core of the point I was trying to make and it wasn't that people haven't paused and don't rebel it's that they did. The issue is that older people (heck most people) have issues with change. Change is often seen in light of an imagined, "good old days" where things were "better".
Nostalgia is a bitter mistress. It can soothe you with fond memories but if you hold it too close it can also make you feel old and out of touch.
