I wish people wouldn't make all these age-based assumptions. When I was 12, I was already disgusted at the indulgent addictions to superficial social shit that my peers did. I'm sure if I were 20 years younger today, my feelings about this nonsense wouldn't be any different.

Right, but I'm not part of the majority now either. The majority of older adults are still into superficial crap.
