Alan Moore on superhero culture

Isn't that normal? The people in charge are typically older than 40 years. And those were born in the previous century from people born in the same century or the one before, teaching those "old" values, etc. I would say the next 20 years will be interesting, because more and more young people will be in charge and apply more modern ways to do things than their predecessors.

We are used to machines that we can replace like nothing. The truth is, things take time.

I would say the shift from pre-boomer to boomer culture was much more extreme than anything we see today. Boomer culture was defined as being the near opposite of everything that came before it. The extreme focus on self actualization and the individual being the defining quality. While there are shades of difference with younger generations and boomers, the underlying foundation still feels firmly rooted in the 1960s-1970s.

This is always the way, surely, by definition?
