” think that they were perfect “youngstas” themselves”
I think you are misunderstanding their point. Most comments like that aren’t people saying that they themselves were perfect, they are pointing out that 40 years ago (or 50, 60…) young people as a whole would never speak like that (act like that etc) toward older people. Whether we like it or not, times have changed and many things regarding morals and values have not gotten better. When teenagers make snide comments to an adult, it is hard to not be taken aback because it is not something that had been acceptable or present as a general occurrence just decades ago.
