They were admittedly incredibly talented, but the reflective or meditative qualities of these songs could also be attributed to the time they were writing in. The language they use and the situations they address were widely used/talked about in their time. The perspectives they write from were more commonly emplyed. So I guess these songs don't exist alone, they're an iteration of stuff other people were doing and had been doing for a while. And when it comes to popular music, the razor sharp interpretation of modes and short term prediction of trends are one of the if not the most important skills for success, and these are skills that the young possess comparatively effortlessly compared with older people.

They were probably out living life when they were young. I know all I've done so far is college and sitting in a fluorescent office all day pretending that when I graduate things will be different and I'll travel or find something I'm passionate about or even finally record some music or something oh god help me I'm spiraling
they werent masturbating all day like everyone these days

Bob Dylan definitely displayed perspective and wisdom from a young age.
