The popular culture of teenagers in today's world is more on the supernatural side. Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" by Nathaniel Hawthorne talks of the three friends and their greed for becoming younger again even at the cost of travelling to far places, while the narrator himself decided he's learnt a lesson after seeing how his friends react to the magic of the "Water of Youth". Everything that is against the natural order of things, be it a blood sucking vampire, or a wizard or superheroes, all are more and more increasing in the interests of youths. Gone are the days when real-life based movies or stories captivate audiences. These days, they prefer what is out of the world, what is fantasy, all the "what ifs" of the world.
