What is wrong with people my age?

[Common Sense]

Young people your age are just trying to fit in themselves. They are experimenting and exercising their freedom of choice. Most just follow the leader to be cool and try to be accepted by others. After all, we all want to be accepted by our peers.

But, like you say, people tend to go to the extreme these days. Young adults think they know everything and actually believe they are sophisticated. Sculptures out of pipe cleaners? My kids did that at Kiddie Kampus when they were toddlers!!

You just are a no nonsense individual and there is nothing wrong with that. In time your peers will grow up and get out of their artsy fartsy stage with their pretentiousness ideals.
