"Kids these days" often are not allowed outside. It's sadly more unsafe than ever. There's no point blaming them for the way the world has devolved.

[@Moey_idk]

It’s also ironic how he complains about how they only watch KZbin and Tik Tok, while being the KZbinr/Tik toker they are watching.

[@superfluousnscrupulous]

It's not that it's more unsafe for kids to be outside, it's that parents living in the suburbs are far less likely to trust their neighbors and don't feel comfortable letting their kids outside. It's the isolating environment of single family homes that cause this illusion and not that it's more dangerous for kids Edit: spelling

[@kio4173]

@Superfluous n Scrupulous Yall I get it, I'm wrong, please leave me alone 😭 It is still more dangerous than it used to be, that's why my mom didn't let me and my siblings outside a lot, especially without any supervision from me or her.

[@ananicole8676]

there's a book by gretchen mcculloch that talks about something like this, that many kids and younger people would prefer to be out and be social but they're limited bc there isn't anything they can do or anywhere to go without being charged for it and their parents won't usually let them play outside since it wouldn't be safe where they live

I am 28 and I played video games since I was a child. I watched my parents and older sister play. And I had a cellphone in middle school, so I don't know what stranded island he grew up on that he didn't have a computer or cellphone. And to say that he used to play outside and didn't take videos or pictures while he was on vine as a kid. 🤷‍♀️ We even had emojis but we had to make them ourselves c: ^w^ xD lol it was a bit archaic

[@definitelynotcole4842]

“The only thing *I* was *worried* about as a kid was what my mom was making for dinner!” Ah, yes, because it is the children’s fault for being so worried and busy and not the adults, society and education system that is putting lots of expectations and heavy weight on kid’s shoulders and overwhelming them with work, plus social media for constantly pushing the narrative that everyone has to conform and look a certain way and “grow up too fast.” And definitely kid’s faults when adults politicize their children.

[@crazyfun95]

Yeah, I remember being five and worrying about how Iraq was threatening my country with military action... I don't know if that was an actual threat in hindsight, but I was too little to understand and I was traumatized.

[@mothma_am]

right? i'm sixteen and when i was little i had a pretty free-range kid lifestyle, but i still had an insane amount of anxiety. i'm super lucky that i have really great parents and i live in a pretty safe area, but growing up with completely unsupervised internet access really does some stuff to you. (incoming internet trauma dump) i remember hitting puberty and wikihow-ing how to make your hips smaller because i felt fat compared to the girls i saw online. that was back when thigh gaps reigned supreme, which totally fucked up my body image. looking back at pictures of me then, i was this scrawny little kid, but i remember looking in the mirror and hating what i saw. i was always too curious for my own good. i was curious about sex really early on, and i remember once googling it. cue images burned into my brain. it didn't help, being neurodivergent and having intense anxiety from a young age. the whole "haha-mental-illness-is-quirky" trend and a million memes mocking autistic traits that i saw completely kept me from understanding that what i was going through wasn't typical. that's not to say the internet wasn't great. i wouldn't be the person i am today. i learned what it meant to be queer, and all the ways that could look. i developed a stronger sense of empathy, being able to connect with people around the world. i learned so much about history, literature, movies, fashion, culture, comedy, all things that i treasure now. the internet is a strange world to grow up in. i don't think it's too different from the world we live in, though. i'm relatively well-adjusted and happy, but i think most of that comes from the people who raise you.

[@snipexx7297]

Fun fact! The "billiard ball attached to a piece of wood by a string" is actually from Japan, and it's used for juggling! It's called a Kendama (originally known as the Nichigetsu Ball/"Sun and Moon" Ball), and the goal of this toy is to use balance and technique to either; A. Get the Tama (the ball) to land in one of the three cups (Kozara [small], Chuzara [medium], and Ozara [big). B. Get the Kensaki (the spike) through the hole of the Tama. C. Do lots of other neat tricks! People actually compete with these as well! I've used one myself, they're incredibly fun and the history of the Kendama is incredibly fascinating!! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I enjoyed sharing this information. I once thought it would be useless knowledge I wouldn't get to share, but ig I was wrong! :)

so, I've worked with kids for the past 5, going on 6 years, ranges in ages 6 weeks to 12( not including the kids I interact in my job that arnt in the actual program) and you made some valid points. We are actively seeing a change in how the younger generation interact and are developing. Major mile stones are shifting slowly over time but all in all I have more of an issue with the adults that shit on how much kids use and rely on technology. You( the adults or parents) are the one so readily giving your children this technology that helps them do things, and then get frustrated they use it to..... do the things you got it for? I see kids playing on the playground all the time, they still pick up random sticks and play pirates, but they also play online and for some kids that's is the only way they know and get interactions

i talked to my highschool history teacher who was teaching freshman last year, even just missing two years has tremendously affected her students socially because they never really had their awkward middle school phase. my middle and high schools were connected so most of us went into highschool with friends, but most of them didn't really have anyone to hang out with because they'd basically went from 5th grade to 9th without meeting most of their classmates. it's fascinating and something really worth looking into

[@lindseyhendrix2405]

Gosh, this whole phenomenon AND the phenomenon of younger kids (~3-10?) being *so* into watching _other kids play_ on KZbin or other elsewhere. I worry we’ll see the effects of them not actually playing themselves and truly learning to play with others. The imagination aspect is missing because it’s given to them and they *_zone_* tf out to it. It’s really all so strange. But I admit I hadn’t thought about the aspect of kids essentially missing all of middle school and the honest to god survival skills learned at that time. Can’t wait to hit my girlfriend with that thought! Thanks homie. 😂😌

[@universal_stupidity]

I'm a highschool senior who is interning at the primary school, and it's affecting kids directly all the way through school. There's higher and higher rates of primary kids in special Ed just because they never learned to read properly or never learned school rules because they were never in school. (not dismissing that there are also just more kids who need more support being discovered, it's both). The highschoolers are a lot more behind socially and developmently because despite how much middle school sucks, it's some of the most important formative social years. Current middle schooler often have a combo of worse social skills and worse academic skills because they missed parts of primary and middle. It's still affecting the higher levels of highschool, but less because those years are less developmental than primary or middle. But I work with kids in 2-4th grade who can't write a sentence, and a couple who don't even know all their letter sounds because they simply couldn't learn online.

The Button just had a lesbian episode! I think you would like it Anna. Least cringe of all the button episodes, the women are so nice to each other lol its definitely a vibe.

[@justAmood8]

Why didn't Annamarie tell us she had pipes like that? If that dude can do music, it should be effortless for her in comparison.

[@TheKotaRoo]

Great, now I'm going to be saying, "No, no, no, NO! Get the shirtless boys out of here!" all day. Thank you. Lol

the ball on a string is called a kendama, its a traditional japanese toy!

[@killerqueendopamine]

It’s also very silly for anyone to act like “kids today” don’t play outside. Or like we as kids didn’t watch a ton of tv or get on the internet a lot when our families got PCs. I had one in my room as a teen and was always on. I still played outside as a kid and guess what? So does my son!

This was my first introduction to Brent and you! Now subscribed to Annamarie as well as many other KZbinrs who have talked about Brent :) great job 👏❤

[@daviddavid1093]

The line about being loved more because he was born first sounds like me trying to convince myself I'm loved even though if I was outed as trans I would be sent to the street.

[@hey.haveagoodday.7128]

Well, we love you, and anyone who doesn’t is an idiot. Who also might watch Brent Rivera.

[@doodlydungeon8576]

hey friend, I know that it's been a while but please know your identity is completely valid and those who hate that don't deserve you. Hope you're doing okay. -a fellow trans

[@noreehix5714]

No lie I had a dream you and Khadija Mbowe did a duet and the song was fire but I can't remember how it went.

[@iamalittler]

The Touch My Body Challenge was literally the premise of a porno I downloaded legally

[@Freshest_Water]

Why did you have to specify legally? That sounds like something someone would say if they did something illegal.

[@iamalittler]

@@Freshest_Water congrats, you got the joke!

[@Chicagocanine]

Didn't they already write basically the same song for "Bye Bye Birdie" the musical in like 1960?

[@isabellabroome7895]

can't believe brent made an unironic "kids these days" song

[@nialiaping2794]

The song sounds like something from a Disney show 💀

[@jujusnugsmommy]

18:19 my daughter was in first grade during the height of the pandemic. She was pulled out of her second year of school ever (kindergarten and first grade), in the middle of the year, and lived in fear for 6-8 months. Then she went back to school mid second grade, after an entire year of isolation from her peers, and was expected to be well adjusted? Kids these days don’t get enough credit

[@kio4173]

Don't do my boy Drew Gooden like that 😭

[@carbvan]

27:55 THANK GOD someone else finds it weird to be using the word crush outside of grade school. It's so damn weird. I felt like I was the only one on the planet that felt this way.

[@thekneesbee]

The only reason a 25 year old should be in an elementary school is if they WORK THERE oml

[@The29thTrashRat]

an ad for swiffer litterally came on before you showed one of the songs and I thought it was him.

[@BoveeTV]

Brent Rivera didn’t steal all of his content from other people on the internet for nobody to know who he is

[@Themery36]

I hope kurtis, Drew, and Danny see this for the vine shade

[@pinkpunther]

I am 26. I feel old. Every time I say I feel old at work there are older middle aged people who tell me I'm so young. And while 26 is still a relatively young age, there are still like young people calling 25/26 year Olds old. So it just kinda sucks

[@fighttheevilrobots3417]

I'm 38. I just had a baby. Imagine how I feel.

[@beachwitch89]

26 is young. There's always gonna be some kids calling you old and some older people telling you you can't feel old because you're young 😂 no matter what age you are. The other day I heard a 12 year old tell a 14 year old that they were "too old to understand" whatever they were talking about lol

[@ananicole8676]

Trust me, you're not old. Even if you were, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Just means you have experience! I'm turning 29 soon and sometimes get the same silly thoughts. Truth is: We're always older than someone, always younger than someone else. Just continue living and doing what you love.

[@corruption44]

As someone who is a minor, I wouldn't say 18-29 are old, they're just like us but have to pay taxes.

[@ChrisJamesTV]

I FORGOT ABOUT HIS “MHMM” THING

[@resuarez23]

tears flowing.

[@boboblueblue2]

I hate this new genre of media where people are almost shaming kids for engaging with social media. Like yes. For kids too much screen time is awful! But it’s awful for everyone! How many of us have to lock our apps, put on timeouts, or delete apps from our phone because we’re spending wayyyy too much time on the internet. I don’t think that the best way to engage with kids to make them understand the harmful effects is to be like “you’re acting too old! Back in _my day_ this is how things were done!” Because like. Okay? That doesn’t change the fact that things are different. Things have changed! Instead of digging your heels in and and getting upset because time and change exists, understand why people do the things they do. I think we’ll see that they value the same things you did as a kid. Things change. Time moves on. People will do things differently. That’s how civilization works. Stop trying to keep things the way that were. You’ll start sounding like your freaking grandparents with their backwards views.

[@taylord3291]

i could have died happy without ever knowing this dudebro made music XD the sister one had me in tears

[@emergency.jergens]

The editing in this video is next level 😍 you did it again

[@ImGonebabyyyy]

That song is so crazy how you gonna title it kids these days but then sing about things not controlled or caused by kids “I remember when phones still had buttons. Kids these days 😔” like?? We didn’t take the buttons off phones, Brent. Have to give it to him the typewriter bit was funny imo.

[@hanzycake]

thanks for getting this song stuck in my head for the rest of my life

[@feec4900]

Okay, but when you were impersonating the vocal roll on "eight" it was actually like stupidly good

[@aaliyahspie]

Ur talking about his friend blowing up his toilet but… HE HAS CAMERAS IN IS BATHROOM??

[@sophdog2564]

Livid that he said heelys are no longer cool. I'm fully an adult and I own light up heelys and they're cool as fuck

[@leonvanderzwet605]

The fact that Brent got out danced by people nearly half his age is certainly something

[@tessn1114]

0:31 perfect opportunity to use your Halloween costume instead of an actual photo of him. But actually seeing Brent is a fr jumpscare

[@tessn1114]

0:41 thank you

[@Rizzalert69]

Its interesting to me, seeing everyone talking about how the pandemic affected their social skills, as someone who hasnt been allowed to make friends, socialize or go to school (like literally was. not. allowed.) it makes me feel extra bad about how horribly awkward I am and how FUCKING BEHIND I AM ON FRIENDSHIP…anyway aha…ha……

[@Rizzalert69]

@Tealppup it really does :/ at least we’re not alone I guess

Annamarie brings the gags, she brings the laughs, but better than anything, she brings the perfect length videos 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
