Yeah. Just turn it into a positive.

In all corners of the world, in all the years of history, there has been human life and energy. Modern Western culture has somehow reached itself to a point where you have erase it all, because it's not "professional," and present a strange view of history and the current world where all the greed, humor, meanness, and fun has been removed. Teenagers hate that, because they are not broken yet, and they innately connect back to and get excited by any little spark that accidentally shows through the dust-covers by mistake. Just let 'em do it. The instinct will go away anyway when they get jobs, you don't have to make any specific effort to stamp it out.

I think you nailed the generational divide:

Modern Western culture has somehow reached itself to a point where you have erase it all, because it’s not “professional,” …, and fun has been removed. Teenagers hate that, because they are not broken yet, and they innately connect back to and get excited by any little spark that accidentally shows through the dust-covers by mistake.
