It compares to youth today because most of the same themes carry over into the modern society. People fall in love everyday, there are still families who dislike and argue over each other. Families who often argue teach their younger generation to dislike the other family causing them to altercate and kill each other out of spite and hatred, and people still make stupid choices in life. Hopefully we learn from the mistakes of others and do not repeat it. Unfortunately Romeo and Juliet shows the nasty side of human altercations.

Romeo and Juliet. Are they rebellious in the modern sense?

No, I wouldn't say they were. Juliet did defy her father by her marriage to Romeo, but that wasn't rebellious as we know it today. It was normal for young women to have arranged marriages to older men, but if there hadn't been a feud with Romeo's family her father may had consented to a marriage.
