Has the Media Killed Youth Culture?

Where have all the young guns gone?  It strikes me that there's been no real significant youth culture for about 15 years now.  So what has happened to Britains once glorified youth?  Is that the media have simply diluted the need for rebellion?  British youth are now pampered with their i-pods, i-phones, games consoles, facebooks.  Music and fashion are bland, safe cosy hybrids.  No wonder there's nothing for young people to identify with, or rebel against.  And even if they did, the media would pounce on them and market them as the next great fad, in a stifling blaze of nullifying marketeering!  C'mon you youngsters.  Its not as cosy as you think it is.  Scratch away at the surface and there's plenty for you to get bothered about.  As Jonny Rotten called to the forgotten generation of decrepit Britain in 1975 - "Get off your arse!"
