Yes, the mobs who used to fight on Brighton's sea front (as a for instance) in the 50's and 60's are now able to take their skirmishes to Ibiza and Greece.
However, whilst I agree with Bill R that most of today's youth are still good kids (I'd have to - I'm mother to 2 of 'em!), I think the increased affluence of modern teenagers had led to increased alcohol consumption and I reckon this is what fuels a lot of the trouble they get into. 30 years ago I couldn't afford to "get bladdered". Modern teenagers seem to have sufficient funds to over-indulge in booze and with the introduction of alcopops, they don't even have to adjust to the more adult taste of alcholic drinks. Ir'n Bru flavoured vodka? I ask you!
