I've seen plenty of teachers/professors reporting GenZers demonstrating concerningly diminished discipline, resilience, and interest, particularly when it comes to reading. My personal observations of GenZ discipline are mixed, but I'm not in education.

Would be good to see high-quality studies on the matter.

Too young to remember all the 90s kids acting like Beavis and Butthead on the bus? Too young to remember hearing people yell beefcake in the hall and being toxic as all fuck because the South Park episode they saw the night before? Did you not have a kid at your school seriously injure themselves doing something on Jackass?

How about get the fuck off my lawn.

>kid in a movie written by adults: "I am a distinguished reader of scientific literature"

>kid I made up in my own mind: "hurr durr I'm illiterate"

Idunno dude, seems like maybe the one writing the dialogue for the "kids in the 2020s" is the problem

This generational hatred will never end.

Were millennials not brainrotted when we were younger? We watched The Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn. The most subscribed YouTube channel was Fred.

Epic win! Lol!
All your base are belong to us.
Ceiling cat is watching

Etc, etc.

Art critic of a German newspaper reacting to Skibidi Toilet.

Pretty enlightening. He loves it says it's nothing but "standard" surrealism. He can spot references to surrealist movies and speculates that the author has seen them and is at least referencing them subconsciously. In the end he decries that Skibidi Toilet seems to become too mainstream and is selling out with merchandise.

Isn't the kid reading his book remarkable in the movie? Like, Dr. Grant's whole deal with these kids is realizing not all kids™ are bad, and this is the first denial of his expectations?

I remember being a child back then. Every little girl knew unix.

"back in my day we read books, not like those young whippersnappers nowadays"

Playing outside became too dangerous and putting kids in front of screens became too easy. We got what we paid for.

The boom in commercial technology, the deprecation of print media, and a lack of old-fashioned parenting that emphasizes reading and critical thinking. That's what happened.

Every generation needs to distance itself from their progenitors in some original manner, language is the easiest to adapt.

They watched Jurassic Park and learned what happens to kids who read books.

Pretty sure that both kids' characters in that movie were intentionally written to not be average of children that age at the time

Plato in 300: kids today!!!!!!!!!! 😡

Anon wants people off his lawn.

Skibidi Toilet is just Madness Combat with toilets and TVs instead of blood.

Kids in the 2010s: We are standing up to demand an end to the pollution so that we can have a future

Wat. Kids in the 2020s would be reciting facts from watching hours of Wild Kratts.

Based Ohio. That's what happened.

You grew old, thats what happened.
