Young people don't have much reference for determining what makes a certain activity valuable, as long as they see other people doing it they'll jump on board. The older you get though, the more you tune out what essentially amounts to noise, hence you not "getting" snapchat. You've probably decided on a subconscious level that there are more important things to do.
The struggle is real though. Being expected to have your finger on the pulse of the tech world but thinking its just a waste of time is a tough position for a designer these days.
