There was a beautiful thought yesterday somewhere on HN, on a completely unrelated subject. Forgive me for not remembering the author, or the thread. I was half drank :)

  Every generation thinks it invented sex, rebellion, and curiosity.

It seems to me that the similar thought could be applied to many things. Is this a known logical fallacy, does it have a name?

I think that's partially because people generally tend to become more conservative as they age. Older generations, then, act as if sex, rebellion, and curiosity never existed.
