>Every generation is like that when they are around 14.

Who were the "idols who don't contribute anything to society" up until the 1940s when "teenagers" were invented? In the grand scheme of things this is still a very recent phenomenon.

Our sires' age was worse than our grandsires'. We, their sons, are more worthless than they; so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more corrupt

We're talking about idols.

Also, assuming that any generation can't be worse in some ways than others isn't useful.
