ELI5:Why is the 3.5" floppy disk still being used as the Save icon in programs? Hasn't an entire generation now been raised that has never seen, used or had knowledge of a floppy disk?

Wouldn't an icon of a usb thumbdrive, SD card, external HD be more appropriate and culturally relevant?

That same entire generation you speak of has been raised with the knowledge that a floppy disk icon = save. 

Plus if you intend to change universally accepted icons or practices for that matter you will likely run into a lot of resistance. Look what happened when Microsoft tried to "update" the start button.
