"This is the often repeated assertion that today's youth is a new breed, a mutant generation such as never before existed. The remark seems to be based on ignorance of the phasic nature of human development. Youth is, and always has been, a period of restlessness, exploration and rebelliousness. These qualities are necessary and desirable, for they help keep the culture from stagnating." - S. Cohen 1965
