Do you think our generation is more acceptive of cartoons and superheroes?

I've been thinking about how everyone who grew up in the 80's and 90's still like videogames, cartoons and superheroes...whereas my parents and all the older folk from the 50's and 60's never got into this stuff. In today's day and age its rare to see a 60 year old care about videogames/cartoons/superheroes....but when we're all 60 years old it'll be totally different.

Do you think our generation was the first to accept geek culture? We're all adults and many people in their 20's never grew out of comics, cartoons, TV shows or superheroes. It's so different from my parents generation.

I plan on being 75 years old and playing Mario and watching TMNT and Batman on my deathbed. Can't say the same for my grandparents.

Thoughts?
