And it's cowardice It's shirking your own responsibility to learn more, work harder, and try to be better than your parents It's a way to make your decision to give up sound like a noble universal truth

I could loosely follow some argument that certain artistic pursuits are more or less achieved, so that pursuing novelty leads to a worse product. But I can't think of anywhere it applies.
