To a kid who loves BMX all road bikes look the same...they have skinny tires, triangles and drop bars.
I tend to think that 14 year-olds today will wax nostalgic for things which were before their time- just as my interest in most things classic and vintage are for things before my time, 'cause [other than bikes] most things from the 70's and 80's were already crap. A 25 year-old car today is just a piece of crap; a 25 year-old in 1980 was a classic.

NICE bike! Sadly, a lot of mid-level CF bikes these days are close to (or even above) 20 Lbs.!
