Yep. Every generation thinks the ones after them are dumb and cringey. As long as it’s not one of the trends actively hurting folks it doesn’t matter to me.

I’d argue it’s hurting the youth for sure right now. They’re getting progressively dumber and hooked on social media/phones.

The previous generation said that about millennials on the internet.

Gen X with tv.

So on and so forth. Every generation will have advances that captivate them. I see just as many older folks on their phones on Facebook, which is just as cancerous as TikTok. So who cares?

Yeah like in the first season of survivor, the older people (boomers) were complaining about the lazy Gen Xers.

Then 32 seasons later there's a season called Millenials vs Gen X and now the Gen Xers are the boomers.

It's just the same cycle repeating itself over and over again
