I'm not heading for the end.

People from Generation X who had kids barged in and knocked the kids out with parents who were in their 30s and 40s at the time and said their kids can do anything and replace me because they, the kids, are from a younger generation.

I think, in classical music, kids think it's something special for them but think it is tacky to be expressive, like it's something new and they get to decide.  It probably happens late at night when people are sleeping and floats around in the day in the subconscious.

You might try comparing kids today to generations between me and them, rather than just older ones like Generation X.
