My speculation is that teenagers react so vile to adults trying to fit in partially as a unwittingly defensive mechanism. Teenagers have some social skills, but not all and thus having separate youth culture provides spaces for learning - adults trying to fit in are possible OP in those spaces and keeping out adults altogether might help with abuse prevention as well.
I don't really know how to test or research this speculation though.
Well, to start, you need an old psychologist, and a young psychologist.
And probably several psychology grad students.
And then you can have a scientific study.
