We've seen this happening for years. The prevailing attitude seems to
be "Those old farts didn't know what they were doing. We're only 22 and
live in our parents' basements, but we're HOT SHOTS, therefore anything
we come up with will automatically be MORE MODERN, and therefore better."
Or: "If it's old, it's bad, and if it's not new, it's old."
