We were talking at work about the fact that when we were younger we pretty much amused ourselves at home, around home and with friends... holidays/vacations were taken with family... and nothing too exciting.. say Spain for those of us in the UK... we didn't have proms or anything flashy... if we had a car at all it was a very old car... a banger as we call it...
Young adults and later teens now seem to have so much more disposable income...and so we see young people who have basically traveled the world by the time they are 20, scuba diving in the Bahamas, chilling in Antigua, flying from the UK to Vegas for the weekend as it if it were nothing... no old grotty cars for them, they have flashy cars and erm sexually so many of them have done everything, and I mean everything.. I wonder what happens when they've tried everything...where's to go? Or does it all just get more and more extreme? That's my betting.. that everything has to be more extreme to get the same level of excitement from holidays, cars, birthday celebrations etc..
