Thre has always been a Cult of Youth, but it really exploded with the Baby Boomer generation, which was not only large, but had a previously unheard-of purchasing power at its disposal.

That began to determine nearly every aspect of fashion and society and of course, popular entertainment, giving rise to the Cult of Artificial Eternal Youth.

I am just glad that my stodgy old generation produced the kind of music and entertainment that has endured until today. My 21-year-old daughter was just jamming out to a My Chemical Romance cover of A Hazy Shade of Winter…
