The young are generally full of revolt, and are often pretty revolting about it.
John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy, but he was actively involved.
As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.
When I was young, it was difficult to imagine entering a world where my parents succeeded so much and I could have risked failing. It would have felt much harder.
Blake has always been a favorite, the lyrics, not so much the prophetic books, but I suppose Yeats influenced me more as a young poet, and the American, Robert Frost.

Death is a distant rumor to the young.
When I wrote 'The Pregnant Widow' three or four years ago, I tried to reread my first novel, 'The Rachel Papers,' because their young heroes are the same age. I couldn't finish it. It seemed to me so technically slapdash and weak.

Personally I discovered that you could go through the academy as a young scholar, come out, and almost immediately have an impact on the academic environment.
Since I was a schoolboy, I've been used to being recognized on the road by old and young, and being bantered with and, indeed, being taunted.
I was very fortunate that I had a great scouting staff at Everton from the academy, because it was those people who got the likes of Ross Barkley and Wayne Rooney when they were young.
