As with any generation, many of the people who were teens in the 60s did not like the depression- and war-torn, conformist, society they grew up in, They had much different values and music and politics and approaches to life. Yes ... today they'd be called democratic socialists, they showed up for Sanders' tour. They don't watch what Mideas Touch calls the 'Regime Media'. The Repubs are running scared about the midterms, for a good reason.
Thinking everyone in an earlier generation is to blame for anything today is wrong-headed and the result of just not knowing enough about history.
