When you’re young, you get impatient about all the old people hanging around ideas that interest you. A mix of deadwood, rent-seekers, one-trick-ponies selling their one tricks for decades, has-beens, never-was types, hoarders, squatters etc. All to be gotten out of the way...
I think tradition is actually an orthogonal axis. There are young and old traditionalists, just as there are young and old mavericks/subversives.
