it isn't just the younger generation that thinks this way, 15 or so years ago I first dipped my toes into the fly fishing waters. I quickly gave up soon after when I went fishing at my local club water and found that a high percentage of the members there wouldn't give you the time of day unless your were using the "right" rod, reel clothing etc. Luckily 4 or so years ago I went to fish another local water and found that the majority of the guys there were down to earth honest people. I still get a bit angry when I think how many years I lost from flyfishing when I let those pompus sods push me away from the sport I so love nowadays.
