Why, Oh, Why Do The Young Say Such Things?

 I took the bus home today (as a Uni student with no drivers license as of yet, public transit is my primary method of transport), and sat in front of four rather talkative young people.

I myself am one such "young person" - for those who've seen my profile, the 18-29 range - and I consider myself mature and considerate. So I was sitting there, listening to my music (one song, over and over, in preparation for an English course assignment), and even with it fairly loud, I could still hear the constant swearing of the young man behind me.
