I read an anecdotal report from someone here in this thread who stated that in their observation - as a grocery store worker - teenagers and 20ish people are more vigilant about wearing masks, and if there are those who are not wearing them, they are most likely to be seniors.
I found this quite curious - given that seniors make up the overwhelming percentage of the population around TV, why wouldn't it follow that one might see more seniors without masks than young people? That's a given, based on numbers alone.
I wear masks, period. But as to "why" some might push back - notwithstanding whether it's smart or responsible - you might want to look at political decisions that mandated all manner of restrictions due to COVID-19, but somehow gave a pass to thousands upon thousands of protest marchers around the country. That civil right, as we were told, was too important to ignore. It was more important than people's actual lives.

I believe part of the answer also lies with the fact that the current generation of millennials, generation Z, and generation alpha, have had "critical thinking" bred out of them by the indoctrination mills, i.e. public schools and, thus, follow blindly any edicts issued (for better or for worse). Our generation still maintains some semblance of that ability, able to view events with a critical eye, make an informed decision and act accordingly, despite how others think he or she should be acting
