Couldn’t possibly be due to the rising threat of climate change, fascism and economic precarity. It couldn’t be a society that has utterly failed its children and abandoned them to the harsh future it created. It must be those dang tiktoks. Better ban them.
(you’re being lied to to distract you from the real problems that we actually need to fix)
pov every person that aged badly complaining about the younger generations since times immemorial.
Every single generation had senile old farts saying that about them since, at least, ancient Greece - though it’s more likely that’s going on since humans have the concept of generation. Most often than not, the old farts were wrong.
We know about ancient Greece because the youth ignored the moral panicking of their elders and used the technological abomination of writing things down.
Presumably society was a paragon of moral virtue prior to that, not that we’d know since history was written by the people who invented writing.
I blame it on cave paintings, it filled young people’s minds with fantasy images so real they could no longer tell the difference between reality and cave paintings. We never should’ve invented fire shadow plays, it was a slippery slope ever since.
Stop being an old person. Just because things are different doesnt mean it’s worse. It’s the same in a different way. I had pogs and power rangers. Kids now have memes and tiktok. Whatever.
yeah we did. we always did. maybe not as much but we did. I’m not sure when you grew up but look up any ytp on youtube and tell me that isn’t brainrot.
I disagree, but I see you’ve made up your mind on the situation. Just saying, it’s costs you nothing to let other people have fun and enjoy the things they enjoy.
pov you realise every generation is worse than the one before
Why does every past generation have to hate on the future generation
I refuse to be part of that trend. Let the kids be kids and have fun
The kids are not having fun.

Idk if this will load right but just Google adolescent self harm rates or something similar.

I don’t think hating on them and their culture is the right way to fix this
The early hominids must have been awesome

pov maybe it’s not that the younger generation is always worse, and it’s just old people complaining as they usually do

Nah the tik toks are worse. We didn’t have “brain rot” when we were young
Watch out! Your kids are reading horror comics
Don’t bother talking to them and reading a comic with them to see what it’s about or why your child likes it. Just get mad!
Problem solved
Don’t forget paperbacks. This trashy pulp fiction is corrupting our youth. Socrates was right.
yeah we did. we always did. maybe not as much but we did. I’m not sure when you grew up but look up any ytp on youtube and tell me that isn’t brainrot.
Peter the Park Ranger continues to haunt my memories

The lead paint chips and leaded gasoline and micro plastics and PFAS would disagree
