    Hi Mr. Gripe, Just prior to reading your post, I was reading
    an online excerpt on amazon. com that relates to what you
    were saying! I was so surprised to read that you were
    thinking on the same sort of topic that I had just been
    considering.

    You might be interested in having a read.... the author talks
    about teenage fashion--and adults wanting to be teens rather
    than adults! Although the excerpt ends just as she's
    beginning to make the point that TV started it all right
    after WWII, the author would agree that there's too much MTV!

    Prior to that time, kids turning 13 wanted to be ADULTS--the
    term teenager wasn't even invented till 1941. Now we have
    adults who aspire to be teenagers!

    Very interesting reading... I've ordered it from the public
    library.

    Below is the link to the book,"The Death of the Grown-up: How
    America's Arrested Development is Bringing Down Western
    Civilization" by Diana West (2007)
