Messy rooms of teenagers

For those of you with older kids, does the "messy room" syndrome ever improve? Is it something that you overcome as you mature, and you're able to keep a neat house?
Everyone is different, but I am living proof that it can happen. Just ask my roommate, who frustrates the living daylights out of me by (horror of horrors!!) failing to fully close the beauty-product drawer (no products allowed out on countertops) when she's done in the morning. I went from total-slob-PLEASE-clear-a-path-FTLOG! to utterly anal retentive about "a place for everything, and everything in its place." :teeth:
 
Imagine 2 sloppy 16yo boys sharing a small bedroom. It is so unbelievably bad. And every day when they come home I tell them to clean it up. They shove some things around, hide some others, and it looks reasonably neat. Then when they get ready for school in the morning they need something, rip the whole thing apart, and back to zero again. My one son is a runner and never gets rid of any shoes. So under his bed are at least 20 pairs of running shoes and spikes. Other son is a wrestler. When he comes home from practice his shirt is soaked. Thru and thru. It probably goes into his room too. Yuck. And then their friends come over. Bunches of them, girls too. And they all sit in the room right on all the clothes. And I lose it and once again tell them nobody can come over until they clean their room. Sometimes their friends all come over and help them clean it. And they all swear their rooms are even worst.
