I think a lot of their ageism comes from a fear or embarrassment about the things they like being juvenile (which obviously doesn't make it any better for us to deal with their shit!). It kind of reminds me of that C.S. Lewis quote, "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
