I've encountered some youths who "base their disrespect" for those older than themselves in that idea. People who have yet to accomplish anything to bring themselves any respect ought to keep quiet when in the presence of those who have managed to survive to their current "ripe old age." Even though we all know that some folks are just plain lucky, or are surrounded by people who are driven (or paid) to protect the foolish. Some of those youths will never grow up, even if they live through the troubles they bring upon themselves. Click an' Clack, the Tappet Brothers, had a saying for such folks: "Unencumbered by the thought process."
