Or is C.S Lewis right, and it's fundamentally a childishness, an arrested development. People don't grow up any more, and they are indoctrinated into a degenerate status seeking culture throughout their teen years, and with an overly strong and performative rejection of anything perceived to be childish (or, an over indulgent embrace of it and refusal to grow up). There's no happy medium where it can just be enjoyed as an adult.
