Each generation has their own defining trends and embracing past trends isn't on its own a bad thing.

Exactly! It seems unreasonable to expect that the same books will resonate the same way to later generations. The cultural zeitgeist is just totally different for college students now.

But I suspect they're going through an identity crisis and don't know what they're doing.

Definitely. Seems like a more effective way to create a new identity would be scrapping the stupid movies (I recall several commercials this week about a spring break shark attack movie...) and replacing them with more good shows like BSG. Or is that too obvious an answer?
