by definition, youth culture is involved in the new, the NOW, the today, not with the past or any influences. the best of youth culture creates something out of threads of past influence that is new.
hip hop HAD to have funk, and soul, and rock, and even disco come before it before it could coalesce and create a new form.
punk in the ramones style could not have existed with out chuck berry.
these things are true, but at the moment of a new creation or development, too many people blindly praise it as wholly and completely original, and those dues are the ones that get annoying to me.
