Yeah, I suppose you are right. But I'm not sure if people ever had a clear sense of what they wanted to "do with their lives" or what "manhood" was supposed to mean. I mean, as a kid you could ask an adult but they'd usually just say "well I liked x job."

I definitely agree with the culture shift though because fanaticism is through the roof and angry young dudes™ keep going crazy and shooting places up. There's an overall sense of doom and gloom even if you can pull a nice life together.
