When I was a teenager we had to make up our own reality. There were distinct gangs. The metal listeners, the rap listeners, the disco people, and so on. We were forced to, for stimuli were scarce. One new record could be passed along dozens of people eager for the new. Now speak to any teenager, they are all the same. Bees of a single hive mind.

I don't know what teenagers you're speaking to but at least my nieces and nephews are certainly not the same. If anything, what's changed is its now acceptable to be part of more of these groups than it was before.
