Teenagers didn’t exist until the 20th century. You were just a little adult, as a child. The idea of teen rebellion therefore also didn’t exist, until the middle of the 20th century. The idea of uprooting custom and tradition and re-inventing the world. In the 1960s that solidified into an actual revolution, the countercultural revolution. We’re still living that revolution. It’s why the entire world now seems in permanent chaos. Every new generation believes it has to destroy and re-make all of life anew.
