A) How shall I describe this generation: Because Jesus says everything in such loving and glowing terms, He tells people what He thinks of the current generation. Here's the reality, He doesn't think much of them. That age, at His time, and this age, in our time, are not that different.
B) They're like a group of children: And here's the main reason why they're not that different; because Jesus said that the generation He was in (the people who are of the world, and the worldly) were like children. That's how it is now! The politicians, the government, the media, the broadcasters, the educational systems, and most of the protesters are just like children. Not the good kids, but the brats.
C) For John the Baptist: A conformist was not one of them for all the things that John the Baptist was. He came out from the wilderness. He wore strange clothes, and he ate strange food. He didn't drink, smoke, or chew or didn't hang out with those who do. And they thought he was demonic.
D) And I, the Son of Man: Jesus comes to humanity. He drinks wine, so instead of saying: “wow, you fit right in,” they say He's a drunkard. It's terrible. But this is how the world and the world respond. If it's good and it's godly, or if it's godly and it's good, they still call it garbage.
