You can understand what the youths think of older people quickly. I cannot remember the Japanese, but in English it is:
Young ricestalks stand upright,
the mature grain bows low.
The youths don't have much respect, are a bit arrogant (as all of us teenagers are, well, most) and don't like tradition. They probably don't like the older generation who probably go on at them about tradition.
^Before you ask, this was an explanation on a website. Not my opinion (for once)
