I don't know if it's a generational thing so much as something for young people to do-my dad used to smash tvs in the junkyard and he wasn't supposed to go near the back alley by the tv shop because it was full of crt glass from kids smashing them as well-and all this almost fifty years ago.
Before I got into electronics, I too smashed my fair share of plastic sets, but obviously not anymore. We always did it because it seemed like there would be a fairly dramatic explosion by shooting/smashing out a crt. Luckily for us, we were never harmed. Although I remember caving in the face of a crt and immediately asking what all this white powdery dust was that was now settling all over us....
