The trophy thing is a meme. Far more insidious is the parenting style and atmosphere of "fear". With more information came more exposure of "evil" in the world. Hence why people think 2016 is the worst year ever despite humanity as a whole making improvements year over year for decades. I think it's less that failure and mediocrity were praised and more that challenges were removed altogether and independence devalued. So these young people are away from their families and on the hunt for a new group of "peer" parents to cater to their infantile expectations and "needs" of the world.
