Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.

Summary

This quote suggests that younger generations often feel the need to rebel or provoke shock through their actions or behaviors in order to differentiate themselves from the previous generation. As time goes on, each subsequent generation becomes increasingly desensitized to these efforts, making it more challenging for youth to truly shock or surprise older generations. It highlights the continuous cycle of the youth attempting to push boundaries and the elders becoming less easily astonished, reflecting the evolving nature of society and the inherent desire for individuality among young people.
