Because quite simply population studies have shown that the "Millenials" or "Generation Y" and their next generation make up huge numbers of people. Numbers we have not seen since the Baby boom itself in fact. They outnumber Gen X something like 10 to 1. Hence the term the "echo boom". The generation after that promises to be a bit smaller but it's still latrger than our generation ever were.
That said in my line of work there is no shortage of customers to serve, kids with homework or a need to be educated and entertained so I'm happy.
I like kids. I deal with them well. They like me.
Also my last name is young and if you are meeting other people whose last name is also young then I guess everyone would in fact be "young all of a sudden!"
