Perhaps it's because it is a relatively young culture. Its basic fantasy
is to live as a teenager for ever. This is one characteristic "American
Beauty" got right.
Teenagers can't see gray yet. It's hard to see gray before, say, thirty.
Perhaps cultures have life spans, like people. Anyway, this is my guess.
