The very best thing I've heard in a long time that highlights this gap is from "Spaced", a brilliant English comedy starring Simon Pegg of "Shaun of the Dead" fame. Tim Bisley works in a collectibles shop, and an 8 year old wants to buy a Jar Jar doll. He explodes:

"You are SO blind! You so do NOT understand! You weren't there at the beginning! You don't know how good it was, how important! This is it for you! This jumped-up firework display of a toy advert! People like you make me sick! What's wrong with you?!"
