What is something that annoys you about the new generation of teens?

I'll start.

So I have been a fan of The Who for a while now, probably because of my dad being a huge on as well. I sometimes wear my The Who clothing from the Hard Rock Café or from their concerts. Other kids wear The Who clothing articles as well, but for different reasons.

It seems that now-a-days classic bands, super heroes, and older brands are more of a fashion thing than a support of something. While their are kids like me, who wear retro clothes, such as my The Who, Pink Floyd, and classic Captain Crunch clothing because we support these things, it is more common that they want to be "In" than to actually like or support what they are wearing.

I will sometimes go up to people wearing band name clothing and ask them what their favorite song by them is. Very rarely I will get a list and a reason why this band and their music is awesome. They promptly receive a high-five or a conversation about said band. More common than not though I will receive an "I don't know. Lol." or an "Ohmigosh! Just cuz I'm wearin' somethin' doesn't mean I like it! K? I'll then leave them alone and become a victim of their clique.

Also, it annoys me that girls will wear PINK on their shirt or back of their pants. This is fine, when they're wearing pink, but when they're wearing gray or blue with the word PINK broadcast on their ass, it seems a little hypocritical. Does it not? I know it's a brand name, (I think Victoria's Secret, not sure) but if you're going to wear a shirt that says PINK, why not just wear pink?

So Reddit, what's your "pet peeve" about the teenage generation?
