These things aren't trendy--fishing, stickball. Movies cost money, and once you've downloaded them all and watched those that your friends and "your" media have decided are important for you to watch they're not novel, fresh, new, exciting. They don't provide sufficient pleasure or excitement. They don't show control over others and defiance of an unjust system by doing things that show disregard for the system and for others. There's no risk-taking involved, allowing young males to demonstrate their superior reproductive worthiness to other young males.
When happiness is the goal, you seek things that make you happy.
When being good is the goal, you try to live in accord with your principles. Oddly, this also routinely produces greater levels of reported and perceived happiness than happiness-seeking does.
Don't worry, be happy.
"Don't owrry, be good"? Screw that.
