I'd just like to posit that, in the UK at least, rave and the beginnings of drum and bass were the last pre-digital youth/music based counter culture. Not that I'm trying to call him out as wrong, I wouldn't expect Gibson to be a massive rave aficionado.
I think this article also shows up something about youTube I've noticed within my social group. It's half a decade old and yet it's become pervasive and it feels almost like it's always been there. Friends have said that like me they feel like they've been using it since about the turn of the century.
