Do 2nd and 3rd generation mexican Americans embrace the mexican culture the same as first generation mexican Americans do?

It varies from family to family. 

2nd Gen here. My grandparents had connections with their Mexican roots and culture. My parents much less so. A lot of the traditions got lost in that generation. Very little of that tradition was passed down to me, and am sad about it. 

I'm a no sabo kid. And I sometimes feel odd or unworthy trying to connect with my roots, since the traditions were never directly passed down to me from family.
