There was an old Nielsen survey that tackled this subject, which you can get an overview of here. Generally speaking, it seems that you are correct in your assertion, but the online advertising landscape is changing.
While the web's early adopters (18-24 year olds being some of the more savvy web users) have learned to dodge the banner and pop-ups, this age group is also more likely to explore rich content and games.
If rich media ads are targeted well and are full of quality content, then I'd expect this age group to investigate more than others.
They are also likely to refer good content to friends, so anything remotely viral should work a treat.
Hope this helps.

Hello
I wonder if anyone has ever come across any click through rates for online advertising by different ages groups/ dempgrapics
I’m looking to find out if males aged 18-24 are any less likely to click through than the average surfer?
The Online Media Report focuses on the online advertising landscape and how media buying has evolved in the last decade. The comprehensive report, which has a US focus but is relevant for a global audience, contains a detailed analysis of the current trends and issues affecting the marketplace, as well as an overview of emerging players such as demand-side platforms (DSPs).
The Online Advertising Survey Report, produced in association with the Rubicon Project, is a useful overview of the online display advertising environment. It contains information about spending trends, the use of ad networks, types of targeting and use of data. The research also examines the impact of real-time bidding and the increasingly important role played by online advertising exchanges, demand-side platforms (DSPs) and trading desks.
